Food to Live By

You probably purchase their produce each week at your local Whole Foods, infusing your diet with organic, vibrant greens, carrots, and fruits. Inspired by their organic farm, which happens to be the world's largest grower of organic produce, Myra Goodman, co-founder of Earthbound Farms, recently released Food to Live By: The Earthbound Farm Organic Cookbook (Workman, 2006). More than a cookbook, Food to Live By is an inspirational guide to creating delicious and nutritious meals. Goodman offers tips on finding ingredients, chef's notes, and recipes for everything from a Strawberry-Tarragon Salad to Ginger Lime Salmon. Vibrant photos of completed dishes, ingredients, and the farm itself reinforce the idea that food should be simple, flavorful, and inspired by nature. This book has become my go-to cookbook for utilizing all of my garden and CSA vegetables.
