Review
"...focuses solely on fruits and vegetables. Rather than use the standard organizational system based on parts of a meal, this lavishly illustrated book dedicates chapters to one kind of produce, ranging from apples to tomatoes..."
Library Journal Review

"Those Taste of Home folks know what they're doing. The popular magazine features recipes sent in from readers throughout the country, and home cooks eager to share their best dishes with the world. So you know that by the time a recipe makes it into a collection like "The Market Fresh Cookbook"...it's almost guaranteed to be good."
-The Indianapolis Star

"...a book to capitalize on the bounty of just picked produce...including chapters with recipes for apples, berries, corn, and rhubarb as well as sections on produce availability and storage recommendations."
The Columbus Dispatch-Cutting Edge

Finding a way to make veggies tasty for your family
I have found some wonderful recipes in this cookbook that are healthy and tasty. The Broccoli Pie was wonderful and so was the Southwestern Tomato Soup. My family does not eat enough vegtables and this is a great way to make them fun. The recipes are easy to follow and also do not contain ingredients that you can't find at your local supermakert. There are also pictures for almost every recipe of what the finished recipe should look like. I did see a few recipes with bacon wrapped around them, but every once and awhile it is nice to have a good ole piece of bacon to flavor things up! Besides, in moderation, you should treat yourself to something that yummy.

Your mother's cookbook
If you are looking for a cookbook to use in-season farmer's market foods, keep looking. This cookbook features standard vegetables like corn and potatoes. It is organized by vegetable, not by season and is heavy on desserts. The recipes are not particularly healthy or original. As my husband said, "Wrap bacon and cheese around any vegetable and it will taste good." If that is what you are looking for, this cookbook is for you.
