S is for Seasons from My Kitchen
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.

Thanks, Val. I was hoping for a way to tell you that I really like your booklet. Next time, please put a link back to your blog in the email. 🙂
Oops, sorry! Didn’t realized I’d missed that.
LOL. It’s so easy to miss those little things. Anyway, you have some nice recipes and info in your book. So, thanks again.
Glanced through it the day it came, will get back to it. Like that I can go to my season ans read what you said.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.
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…
🙂
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 🙂
