Featured Cookbook June 2011

What do you do with all of the wonderful produce you have spent so much of your valuable time growing? You can make some absolutely delicious dishes using one of our featured cookbooks. Keep checking back for more great ideas.

  • Cover Art
    If it makes you healthy : more than 100 delicious recipes inspired by the seasons - by Sheryl Crow
    Call Number: 641.5973 Crow
    Singer Sheryl Crow's cookbook shows how she eats healthily by cooking foods that are seasonal, locally grown, and vitamin-rich to keep her on top of her game and always ready to perform. "In The Kitchen" offers a full menu of approximately 125 recipes grouped seasonally--from the big entertaining menus that are prepared for her crew while touring (Mojito braised pork) to small home-cooked meals for Sheryl and her children (basil and apple marinated chicken)--all lushly photographed by Victoria Pearson.
