Simply in SeasonSimply in SeasonMary Beth Lind Herald Press, 2005 I picked up this cookbook, commissioned by the Mennonite Central Committee, a couple of years ago at Fresh From the Farm, (http://freshfromthefarm.ca/) a Toronto store that sells food raised by Ontario Amish and Mennonite farmers. The book is a great resource for vegetable gardeners looking for creative ways to cook garden produce. Recipes are arranged by harvest seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the beginning of the book there is a guide with storage, handling, preparation, and serving information by fruit and vegetable. There are snippets of food and farm information and food-related anecdotes on many of the pages, making this far more than a cookbook—really more a book about food systems and food choices. I recently leafed through the autumn section while looking for cooking ideas for fall greens and found a simple, yet delicious chard cheese-bake made with Swiss cheese, green onions, cubed bread, chard, and parmesan cheese.
