The word alone recaptures a feeling, an atmosphere, a warm colorful seasonal memory. Who has not driven by a tottering, handmade contraption of a farmstand-loaded down with sultry red tomatoes, bright green asparagus stalks, a row of snow white cauliflower heads--and not been tempted to stop? In fact the more rickety the stand, the more chance of stopping in hopes that this farmer and his crop will provide us with the freshest of edibles, the lowest of prices, and as a bonus, the most homespun of rural chatter. Some folks look at the farmstand simply as a place to buy the freshest of produce for the least amount of money, but in fact there was a time when farmstands were the social connectors. Small and personal, they also created a sense of identity and place, and told a story about the inhabitants of a town. Over 70 pages of recipes follow a delightful history of the farmstand. |

| Publisher Description: This farmstand vegetable cookbook will encourage you to seek out a farmstand in your own home town and, when traveling in a rural or urban area, to stop at a farmstand or greenmarket. Take time to talk to the stand owner, learn about the different varieties of vegetables the owner offers and how to prepare them. You might just find yourself chatting with the produce grower, gaining useful information about the produce you are buying and then even sharing a recipe or two. Enjoy the ambiance of the farmstand and give a thought to the needs, the toil and the entrepreneurship that brought the legendary farmstand to the position it holds today, for it is a small but very integral part of our American history. The recipes in this book will inspire you not only to "eat your veggies" but to "love your veggies."
