Synopsis:

Learning to Eat Locally: Berkshire Recipes for All Seasons is a vegetarian cookbook based on the local produce available in each season. It was created with the support of the Center for Environmental Studies at Williams College and Caretaker Farm in Williamstown. By highlighting local agriculture and offering practical instructions for participation (i.e., recipes), this non-profit, community-based project aims to promote awareness of the connection between community and landscape in the Berkshires. The 152-page paperback book contains 85 recipes, an introduction, a short pantry guide, basic produce storage techniques and dates of local availability, a comprehensive list relevant community organizations and sources for local produce (farms, farm stands, and markets), bibliographic information, and an index.

Some samples from the book have been posted on the web. Please feel free to browse!
