From aspargus to zucchini

From asparagus to zucchini by Madison Area Community Supported Agriculture Coalition

I checked this book out of the library about three times before I just bought it. It is a cookbook, but so much more. I have fun reading about the various vegetables and how to store them and prepare them. If you've ever looked at a vegetable at the farmer's market and wondered what in the world to do with it, this book can tell you. Just joined a CSA and seeing a remarkable number of vegetables you've never heard of? Read this book.

I love cookbooks. Unfortunately, I usually only find one or two recipes in each one that I actually use. This is why I get them from the public library. For a matter of pennies, I can photocopy that one great recipe and return the book for someone else to read.

I've found a couple of ideas in here that I'd like to try. Tonight it's going to be the onion rings. Their baked and dredged in ground bran cereal. Onions are cheap, it's worth trying. One of these days I'll probably make the time to create the oatmeal pizza crust, too.

Ms. Lillen includes a few great tips for eating out as well.
