Fresh Pantry - Summer Squash (Electronic book text)

FRESH PANTRY: SUMMER SQUASH

"Eat Seasonally, Cook Smart & Learn to Love Your Gourds"

Fresh, savvy, and sustainable-one month at a time

Amy Pennington's award-winning book, "Urban Pantry," introduced clever cooking concepts and ingredients, provided organizational inspiration, and helped home cooks of all skill levels create sustainable and thrifty kitchens. But its approach and ingredients reflect shelf-stable, dried, or preserved goods. For anyone trying to eat a seasonal diet, fresh vegetables and fruits are pantry musts as well. The new Fresh Pantry e-book series picks up where "Urban Pantry" leaves off-by continuing the conversation about healthy, sustainable foods and how eating locally and seasonally embraces gardening and outdoor living. It introduces readers to the freshest seasonal ingredients-one basic vegetable or fruit, one month at a time-that can efficiently supplement the canned and dried foods in your pantry.
