Seasons from My Kitchen is my gift to my e-newsletter subscribers. As you are aware by now, I’m an avid local foodie and gardener. Jim and I have sought local food all of our married life (over 30 years now!). In the early years we grew a garden and bought bulk fruit and vegetables because we couldn’t afford the same quality at the grocery store. Later we became aware of food miles, the distance food is transported from farm to table, and the environmental impact of this as well as the absurdity of having New Zealand apples side-by-side in the supermarket with our local B.C. apples! No doubt Canada exports apples to New Zealand, too. Why?
At any rate, we’re attempting to become more and more in tune with seasonal, local eating, and that gave me the idea for my gift to you. Seasons from My Kitchen provides 20 recipes (some with photos), 5 per season, focusing on ingredients readily available at that time of year. As a bonus, I’ve included lists of what to look for at the market in each season, as well as what you can do to grow or find this food. And there’s a special tip or two for each season as well.

I’m going to go download your lovely booklet in a moment, and subscribe to your newsletter, too, of course.
I have to assume, though, that your fruit/vegetable availability will be somewhat different from mine since you’re in BC and I’m in the southern US (AL). I wonder if there’s anything like this around here…
🙂
Valerie Comer says
Thanks for subscribing, Ginger! Yes, I’m sure our local, seasonal availability will be different from each other. I’d love to know what “crosses over” though! I hope you enjoy.

I never thought about those “food miles.” Interesting… while apples here on roadside trees become deer food, we’re buying apples from Washington state. Crazy.

It *is* crazy, isn’t it! Hope you enjoy the download 🙂
