Six Seasons is a love letter to vegetables written by Joshua McFadden, chef & owner of the popular Portland, Oregon restaurants, Tusk and Ava Gene's.
He brings a farmer's sensibility to the organization of the book which is broken into six harvest seasons to help you enjoy produce at its absolute peak ripeness (the abundant summer season is divided into early-summer, mid-summer, and late-summer to honor the short window of produce perfection).
For each season you'll be introduced to a handful of vegetables with explanations on how to shop for each type along with myriad recipes and ideas for using them. You’ll find recipes for raw preparations, cooked dishes, salads, pasta, and everything in between.
Vegetables are the stars of the book, with a supporting cast of amazing pantry products. McFadden's pantry, like his recipes, reflect a deep love of Italian food. You’ll see frequent use of extra-virgin olive oil, fine wine vinegar, salt-packed capers, preserved chilies, and anchovies. He'll share how to select quality products, and then give lots of recipes to use them in.
