The Organic Cook's Bible
A comprehensive guide to foodstuffs, this valuable reference tool empowers the reader with practical knowledge for identifying and making use of almost every edible. After a discussion of what constitutes organic food, Cox inventories vegetables in alphabetic order. Beyond commonplace asparagus, beets, carrots, corn, peas, potatoes, and their ilk, Cox includes cardoons, crosnes, ground cherries, and even seaweed. For each entry, he gives a brief history, its organic cultivation, nutrition, types, seasonality, selection hints, preparation, and uses. Each citation has a recipe or two featuring the item as an ingredient. The wealth of practical information crowding these pages makes this an indispensable resource.
