The Santa Monica Farmers' Market Cookbook by Amelia Saltsman

The Santa Monica Farmers' Market Cookbook by Amelia Saltsman

For more than thirty years, the Santa Monica Farmers Market has inspired both renowned chefs and home cooks, making it a regional market with national presence. For most of those years, Amelia Saltsman has shopped its stands, talked with its farmers, and cooked its magnificent produce for family and friends. The result is Amelia s award-winning first cookbook, The Santa Monica Farmers Market Cookbook, a celebration of the market s excellence and its hardworking farmers. Now in its sixth printing, this nationally acclaimed classic was named by Cooking Light as one of the Top 100 Cookbooks of the Last 25 Years and is the recipient of multiple honors, including the SMPL Green Prize for Sustainable Literature, National Indie Excellence Book Award (finalist), PubWest Book Design Award, and the Writers Digest Grand Prize for Self-Published Books. The SMFM Cookbook has been translated into Braille and was a featured KCRW Cookbook Club selection. Contains more than 100 of Amelia s signature simple, intuitive recipes, including: Fava Bean and Pea Shoot Salad; Classic Tomato Soup with a Goat Cheese Swirl; Black Cod with Green Tomatoes; Roast Leg of Lamb with Oil-Cured Black Olives and Herbs; Seared White Nectarines with Burnt Honey; and Meyer Lemon Sundaes with Cara Cara Oranges and Tangelos. With a foreword by acclaimed cookbook author Deborah Madison, design by Ph.D, and photography by Hill Street Studios and Anne Fishbein.

Saltsman, Amelia: - Writer, teacher, and award-winning author of The Seasonal Jewish Kitchen: A Fresh Take on Tradition and The Santa Monica Farmers' Market Cookbook: Seasonal Foods, Simple Recipes, and Stories from the Market and Farm, Amelia Saltsman is passionate about helping everyday cooks make the connection between small-farmed foods and real-life meals. In her warm style, Amelia streamlines today's desire for healthier, sustainable foods; the need to get dinner on the table; and the longing for rich holiday traditions into one seamless whole. Amelia's name is synonymous with intuitive, seasonal cooking, and as the Los Angeles-born daughter of a Romanian mother and Iraqi father who were raised in Israel, her food reflects the bold, diverse flavors of her eclectic background. Amelia's books have made numerous best lists, including The Washington Post, Cooking Light, and KCRW's Good Food, and she has been featured in such diverse outlets as Parade Magazine, Yahoo! Food, Food52, Fit Pregnancy, Vegetarian Times, US Airways, USA Today, Jewish Chronicle of London, The Jerusalem Post, and Los Angeles magazine. Her work has appeared in Bon Appü¾Ž–”¼tit, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Food52, The Kitchn, Cooking Light, Huffington Post, Jewish Journal, National Geographic Traveler, and more. Amelia is a frequent guest on KCRW's Good Food and has appeared on Hallmark's Home & Family and Good Day L.A. Known as an energetic and inspiring teacher, she teaches at such venues as Google's corporate offices and Rancho La Puerta. A long-time champion of local family farms, fair food, and farmers' markets, Amelia is committed to raising the food literacy rate: knowing how, where, and by whom our food is grown; knowing how to cook a simple, healthy meal; and understanding the historical, local, and global impact our food choices have on our families and communities. Amelia served ten years on the California Certified Farmers' Markets Advisory Committee and Direct Marketing Task Force; contributed to The Sage Encyclopedia of Food Issues; and empowers people to confidently read their farmers' markets. Great taste and good farming practices go hand in hand, says Amelia. When the raw ingredients taste good, it's the most obvious sign that our food has been grown sustainably and locally, and that it's at its freshest and most nutritious.
