Once you get the food from the farmers’ market, what do you do with it? Here are some tips to get you started!
• Buy staples like carrots, onions or potatoes to start, and then try one new vegetable each time you shop for food.
• Talk to the farmers about how they prepare various veggies.
• Use your local foodies — Seacoast Eat Local volunteers are available at every Winter Farmers’ Market to help you shop and hand out recipes!
• Invest in a couple of good cookbooks:
- How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman (a vegetarian edition is also available)
- Eating Well in Season — The Farmers’ Market Cookbook by Jessie Price
- Almost Meatless by Joy Manning and Tara Mataraza Desmond
- Greens Glorious Greens by Johnna Albi
• Utilize the internet:
- [2] Eating Well
- [3] Epicurious
- [4] Food Network
