The Broad Fork: Recipes for the Wide World of Vegetables and Fruits: A Cookbook

From James Beard Award winner Hugh Acheson comes a seasonal cookbook of 200 recipes designed to make the most of your farmers’ market bounty, your CSA box, or your grocery produce aisle.

In The Broad Fork, Hugh narrates the four seasons of produce, inspired by the most-asked question at the market: “What the hell do I do with kohlrabi?” And so here are 50 ingredients—from kohlrabi to carrots, beets to Brussels sprouts—demystified or reintroduced to us through 200 recipes: three quick hits to get us excited and one more elaborate dish. For apples in the fall there’s apple butter; snapper ceviche with apple and lime; and pork tenderloin and roasted apple. In the summer, Hugh explores uses for berries, offering recipes for blackberry vinegar, pickled blueberries, and raspberry cobbler with drop biscuits. Beautifully written, this book brings fresh produce to the center of your plate. It’s what both your doctor and your grocery bill have been telling you to do, and Hugh gives us the knowledge and the inspiration to wrap ourselves around produce in new ways.

Great Grilling Fruits!: 17 Simple & Sensational Recipes for Fruit on the Grill

Of the many things we know and love to grill, for most of us fruit doesn’t make the list. It’s just not something that obviously comes to mind when we think “grill”. After all, fruit is nature’s perfect fresh food, right? To be sure, cooking fruit is nothing new (fruit pies, fruit sauces, fruit preserves…). But grilling fruit is a very new concept to many of us. And that’s truly a sad state of affairs because grilled fruits have so very much to offer. What holds people back the most from grilling fruit is that we simply don’t know how or what to grill. It’s pretty obvious that you can throw just about any plain old meat on the grill and come off with something delicious; but who knew that the same is essentially true for fruit? Fortunately there are only a few things you really need to know in order to be able to grill fruit successfully. A few basic techniques and a list of the most grill-worthy fruits will have you off and running; a collection of good recipes to kick it up a notch will really have you set. That is exactly what this book offers – a fast and easy guide to grilled fruits including how and what to grill; a basic method that you can use for any fruit you care to try out on the grill; a list of the most “grillable” fruits and a concise collection of recipes for grilling fruit to get you started. Grilled fruits offer big health benefits and big flavor with little preparation, and now is the best time to give them a try!
