The story of Susie and Roy Middleton is told in this wonderful
collection of farm fresh recipes cookbook. They started with a small stand and
a few harvested items.
As their story develops, the book is filled with great
recipes. The format is similar to a regular cookbook, but in the sidebar is the
continuing narrative of how this venture began and grew.
Fresh from the Farm contains
beautifully crisp and clear photographs of recipes and ingredients. In addition,
the preparation instructions are easily readable.
I picked my favorites to be Spring Celebration Salad with Crab Cakes and Avocado-Chive Dressing and Roasted Beet ‘Jewels’ with Cranberries, Toasted
Pecans and Balsamic Butter. Of course, I would replace the pecans with pine
nuts. I am not a big pecan fan. Caramelized
Carrots and Shallots with Spinach and Citrus Brown Butter seemed an
interesting combination. I would try this because of my love for carrots and
spinach.
At the end of the book, there is an appendix on different
designs for your personal or market gardening. If you like trying new and
exciting recipes, this is the cookbook for you. I recommend this book for
anyone who loves to cook and as a gift opportunity.
I received this book free from The Taunton Press, Inc. through
the Net Galley Review Program for an unbiased and honest review.
