Harvest: Recipes from an Organic Farm

From baskets of heirloom tomatoes to home-raised pork and wine made from backyard grapes, this cookbook goes inside the kitchen of an organic farm to explore a rural lifestyle and its delicious benefits. The author—who left a hectic corporate career behind when she and her husband decided to buy a beautiful farm in western South Africa—shares not only her favorite recipes but also her passion for taking food straight from the garden or paddock into the kitchen. Using seasonal ingredients without much fuss, the recipes alternate between quick dishes from the best organic ingredients and slower, more indulgent meals that truly test one’s culinary skills. Tips for organizing a pantry are also included, and wonderful photography provides both food shots and a tour of the postcard-perfect farm.

Radiantly healthy skin, hair, feet, hands, eyes, and nails. Commercial beauty products make this promise every day and live up to it with varying degrees of success. Stephanie Tourles offers a better solution to everyone frustrated with the endless cycle of expensive, synthetic, famous-name cosmetics that often fall short of expectations. Take control of beauty treatments with homemade products that use safe, nourishing ingredients to pamper the body and soothe the senses.

Tourles, a licensed esthetician, herbalist, and aromatherapist, has developed 175 recipes that are fun, simple, and immensely satisfying to make in home kitchens.

Most important, there is never any doubt about the purity of these ingredients!

Organic Body Care Recipes: 175 Homeade Herbal Formulas for Glowing Skin & a Vibrant Self Reviews

Review by A Book Lover:
I LOVE this book!! Not only are there tons of cosmetic concoctions (ranging from creamy body butters & lotions to herbal hair conditioners & foot soaks), but there are also thorough descriptions of different hair & skin types that each recipe will benefit. It even has a section on edible body potions that you may want to try on your “honey” (think sensual love-making). The best part is that each recipe gives you just enough to yield about 1 to 2 applications. That way, you can decide which ones you like and which ones you don’t before you make large batches of it. All the ingredients are easy to find (there is an appendix on where to buy / order) and the author even gives us a comprehensive list of the different properties of herbs, oils, essential oils, etc. that you can use in these recipes. I’ve made & tried three so far (coconut body butter, rosemary hair rinse, & orange sugar scrub) and have found each one to be great. I can’t wait to experiment with the rest of them!

Review by T. Campbell:
This book is absolutely awesome. The recipes are simple (and great at that!), she gives a lot of background info on each of the ingredients. Being a licensed cosmetologist myself, I can tell you that she really knows her stuff (she is a licensed esthetician). I have been making my own bath and body products for a few years (using pre-made bases from suppliers) but just decided to introduce a completely organic line of products and I think this is the best book that I have read so far on the subject and highly recommend it. Great for beginners or those who have been doing this a while.

Earth to Table: Seasonal Recipes from an Organic Farm

There is nothing more delightful than a tomato still warm from the sun, or a strawberry so perfectly ripe that it stains your fingers. Why not eat this way all the time? The healthiest and most delicious food comes from farmers and artisans just down the road—though it is often easy to forget when we are surrounded by food shipped to our supermarkets from around the world and by highly processed products from distant factories. Jeff Crump learned of the pleasures of using local cuisine by working in world-famous restaurants like Alice Waters’s Chez Panisse, and he set about to develop a network of farmers to keep his own restaurant’s kitchen humming all year round. It was not long before he was out in the fields himself, alongside pastry chef and collaborator Bettina Schormann, planting and harvesting crops that would form the backbone of their menus, breads, and desserts. Eating locally means eating seasonally, and Jeff and Bettina offer up the most delicious of what each season provides. It could be something as unexpected as Gnudi with Ramps and Morels picked from the woods across the road; as simple and as refreshing as Dandelion Salad; or when it is cold outside, as hearty as Bread and Butter Pudding. Earth to Table lets nature write the menu. Tender, green things in spring. Ripe, juicy dishes in summer. The bounty of the harvest in autumn. Rich braises and tart preserves in winter. The result is a year of discovery of new ingredients and dishes, and a rediscovery of classics that suddenly taste the way they were meant to. Bringing together stories of the passage of seasons on the farm; profiles of some of the world’s most innovative chefs—like Heston Blumenthal and

Earth to Table: Seasonal Recipes from an Organic Farm Reviews

Review by Katie:
Oh, just another green, organic blah blah? Not so. This is the seasonal cook book for the rest of us. Refreshingly, it is not out of California with its endless supplies of the best produce, but out of Canada, where there actually is a Winter. For us in Minnesota a not unimportant detail.

It is helpful if you know your way around the kitchen a little bit. This is not a basic cookbook, but it has new recipes that are doable at home and come out delicious. Ingredients are easy to find in the store, the farmer’s market or possibly in your own garden. One walks away from the table satisfied and feeling good about the food one just ate. Pizza with squash, pancetta and sage a smash hit! So are the pan roasted mushrooms, a revelation! Enjoy cooking and baking your way through the seasons.

Review by Sacramento Book Review:
Chef Jeff Crump learned the art of local foods and seasonal menus at Chez Panisse in Berkeley and The Fat Duck in Brey, England. Now the chef at the Ancaster Old Mill restaurant in Ontario Canada, he was also the founder of Slow Food in Canada. His restaurant focuses on locally grown foods, served during their peak season, for full freshness and flavor. Earth To Table is a collection of recipes from Crump and his pastry chef Bettina Schormann, organized by seasons, and including chapters relevant to food collection and preparation – Spring includes a How-To on foraging and composting, Summer has Canning and Preserving.

The recipes, while not hard, are probably not for an inexperienced cook and are well worth the extra effort of finding the freshest ingredients of the season from either local farms, farmers markets, or a grocery store sourcing from local suppliers. There are profiles of other Slow Food chefs, including The French Laundry’s Thomas Keller and commentary from Crump on his local sources of ingredients. ||Highly recommended, especially the Mile-High pumpkin pie recipe for Thanksgiving.

The Petit Appetit Cookbook: Easy, Organic Recipes to Nurture Your Baby and Toddler Reviews

Review by Colleen S.:
I bought this book along with Baby Blender Food, and I really like this one the best. It has practical information RE: safe food handling, the meaning behind nutritional and organic terms on product packaging, suggestions for stocking your pantry, and ideas about how to incorporate meals for the family from the recipes for the baby. It’s not rocket science, but sometimes I get caught up in the baby food process and don’t think about how to modify some of the ingredients for my own meal. She also has a helpful key that lists vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free recipe options. The recipes are pretty simple, and I’ve found that it’s easy and fun to make food for my son. It also feels really good to know exactly what’s going into his food. I like the layout of the book, and I appreciate the information in it. Another review mentioned that she doesn’t outline food hazards like nitrates in the body of the recipes, but if you read the book from the beginning, she has pretty comprehensive explanations of what is safe to prepare and when it’s safe to prepare it.

Review by K. Smith:
I’ve had a chance to make zucchini and butternut squash purees for my 6 month-old and so far so good! I like that the recipies give you an option for how to cook each recipie, for example, you can either steam or microwave zucchini. Also, you can use a blender or food processer for most dishes. The book also gives really clear instructions for saving food for later. I put the squash in ice cube trays; it is so easy to pop a “cube” into the microwave. If you have an automatic ice maker and don’t have any ice cube trays on hand, I highly recommend buying silicone trays. You can even buy pink ones from Sur La Table (www.surlatable.com). Cubes come out cleanly with no fragments left in the tray. Get this cookbook if you want a little work on the weekend with the rest of the week as easy as opening a jar! The only down side I can think of is she is not as explicit about foods to avoid because of allergies or nitrates (spinach, carrots, etc.) on the recipe pages.
