From the Inside Flap

Eating and cooking with local and seasonal sensibility is simply a treat. I love to scour the local farmers' market for gifts from the earth. My earth. The earth around here. Don't give me asparagus in October, or peaches at Christmas. Each season has its own unique blessing, its own treats. And if you listen closely, your tummy (and your soul) are usually yearning for just what the earth is providing. In the spring I crave a tonic of fresh greens and wild things; and in the summer make it light, with lots of fresh fruit and simply cooked vegetables. "The Southern Seasons" celebrates the uniqueness of all of the times of the earth, with menus inspired by the bounty at hand.
