Product Description
Not so long ago most fresh food on North American tables came from home gardens and local farmers markets. Today, the average item of food travels more than a thousand miles before it lands on our tables. Its a remarkable technological accomplishment, but has not proven to be healthy for our communities, our land or us. Through stories and simple "whole foods" recipes, Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert explore how the food we put on our tables impacts our local and global neighbors. They show the importance of eating local, seasonal foodand fairly traded foodand invite readers to make choices that offer security and health for our communities, for the land, for body and spirit. Simply in Season offers a starting point encouraging you to feed both your body and spirit with nutritious food and challenging ideas about the world around you. Woven throughout the recipe pages of each season are writings, tidbits of information to reflect upon while the onions saute, the soup boils, or the bread bakes.

 Wheat and Dairy-Centric September 24, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
While this book has a seasonal focus, it is so incredibly dairy and wheat-centric, one might think it was the product of the Dairy and Wheat Councils. I've never seen a book before that had such a high proportion of recipes that call for milk, dry milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, buttermilk, wheat, and soy. You would expect to see these in recipes--- but not in almost everything! If you cannot have wheat or dairy, chance are that you won't be able to use a large segment of recipes in this book. If anyone in your family has food allergies (wheat and dairy being the most frequent), don't waste your money. I found the recipes often dated, unimaginative, imbalanced nutritionally, and a huge disappointment. Even their chili recipe called for sour cream. Swiss chard with milk? Good grief. So-called "Hearty Broccoli soup" has an entire quart of milk plus 1 cup cheese but only 2 cups of raw broccoli. That would be more aptly named "Milk Soup with Broccoli". I expected this book to be far more garden, fresh produce focused but it isn't. This book has been VERY over-rated.
Review of Simply in Season (World Community Cookbook) September 6, 2008
Simply In Season (World Community Cookbook) is a cookbook that has a section for each season. Each section includes recipes made from ingredients in season. These recipes are health-conscious and mostly frugal. If you enjoy eating healthy and cooking/baking with fresh fruits and vegetables, this cookbook is for you.
 nice quality August 14, 2008
Nicely done book. The book is broke down into four seasons. Each season has a list of vegetables along the outside edge on each page with the particular vegetable(s) used as ingredients in that recipe highlighted on that page. It makes it easy, for example, if you have broccoli and want some ideas on how to use it, flip the pages until you see broccoli highlighted and then read the recipe to see if if it something you are interested in. The recipes I have tried have been good.
A few more recipes with unusual vegetables would have been good because those are the ones I don't know what to do with. But over all a nice book. I would give it 4.5 stars.
What a treasure! August 13, 2008

This is my new favorite !!! cookbook. I really wanted a cookbook that would help me use fruits and vegetables that are in season. Out of about 20-30 recipes that I've tried from this cookbook, I've loved all but about 2 of them which is pretty good I think. One of the pluses is that the recipes are generally naturally low in fat and in salt. I would give this cookbook the highest recommendation I can! It's even better than More with Less and Extending the Table (the other two World Community Cookbooks).

This has become one of my favorite new cookbooks! We belong to a local CSA farm ... getting wonderful fresh organic vegetables ... and this little book has some of the best recipes. I highly recommend it. =)
