Fresh with Anna Olson

For Anna Olson, eating is about community. Now Anna brings her fresh philosophy right to your kitchen in this highly designed fixed-layout epub edition for the Kobo Vox . Cooking simple and delicious dishes from fresh, seasonal, and locally grown ingredients forms the backbone of Fresh with Anna Olson, the follow-up to the bestselling In the Kitchen with Anna. Anna’s kitchen changes with the seasons. In spring, you'll find fresh pea soup with mint simmering on the stove, while in summer, cherries are baked into golden pies. In fall, roasted root vegetables are served with a warm vinaigrette, and in winter, prime rib is cooked to perfection with mushrooms and pan juices. Cooking with a seasonal approach ensures that ingredients are always at their best and most flavorful. Supporting local producers is also more environmentally friendly. An excursion to a local cheese maker, peach farm, or pumpkin patch is often all that’s needed to inspire a memorable menu; each chapter begins with a description of Anna’s own seasonal visits to food producers near her home. The recipes are delectable, easy to prepare, and peppered with Anna_s personal anecdotes. Anna also provides helpful tips and techniques to ensure that your time in the kitchen is not just successful, but fun, too.
