Foodies Rejoice! Get tips and great recipes for using farm fresh produce with FoodBooks from Learn Great Foods
Our favorite tour guides of all things edible have come out with a series of FoodBooks focusing on individual ingredients. Learn Great Foods now offers 16-page full color booklets that give a fresh look at knowledge from a sustainable perspective. Each book focuses on one ingredient, such as Asparagus, while entertaining the reader with a variety of delicious recipes, interviews with farmers and chefs, and an introduction to the unique health and environmental benefits of the food. Best of all, they are written right here in the Midwest!
FoodBook titles include Asparagus, Eggplant, Herbs, Lettuce, Potatoes, Squash, Tomatoes, Beef, Bison and Fish, with more titles in the works. And you can’t beat the price: $2.45 each, or a sample pack of 5 books for $10.95.
FoodBooks are available for purchase locally at Pine Hill Nursery at Village Gardens in Traverse City (behind Randy’s Diner) or online at www.learngreatfoods.com.
If you haven’t taken a farm tour from Learn Great Foods you are missing something special. Last summer my dad and I spent a glorious early September day on the Leelanau Peninsula visiting Sweeter Song Farm, Leelanau Cheese and making a wonderful dinner with chef Nancy Allen. There is no better way to enjoy and appreciate our local farms and artisan foods than with a tour from Learn Great Foods. Check out my photo gallery from the trip (you may recognize a certain Eggplant photo), and watch our blog for an upcoming Hometown Highlights feature on our trip.
