Informacje o e-booku

Get a taste of farm life with seasonal recipes and stories from the founder of Angelic Organics, the popular CSA farm with members across the Chicago area.

John Peterson grew up on the family farm he later transformed into the community supported farm Angelic Organics. For him, farming isn’t just about growing vegetables. It is also about building relationships between the farm and the people it serves. A leader in organic and biodynamic gardening, his passion is helping to connect people with their food, their farmers, and healthful living.

In Farmer John’s Cookbook, readers get to experience a slice of farming life through stories and recipes that are arranged seasonally by crop. Peterson shares information on storing and preserving perishables as well as tips for using more peculiar vegetables grown on his farm, such as sunchokes and kohlrabi. Farmer John’s Cookbook is a “farm kitchen bible presented with missionary zeal” (Publishers Weekly).
