AVAILABLE NOW: Cooks' House: The Art and Soul of Local, Sustainable Cuisine by Eric Patterson and Jennifer Blakeslee

Cooks’ House is more than just a collection of recipes. It’s a book that approaches cooking in the context of life and living. Cooking is more than putting a list of ingredients in a bowl and mixing. True cooking — and living — comes when we follow the local seasons, listening in on their rhythms and following their leads toward that which sustains.

Eric and Jennifer have put together a book that truly shows what it is like to cook seasonally in the Midwest. Their passion and attention to what nature provides us shows through in every recipe. — Brian Polcyn, author, award-winning chef and owner of Forest Grill in Birmingham, Michigan.

2009 Winner of a Gourmand Award. To be announced January 2010.
