Hi there! 

Week 2 is here-- you've got the hang of it now, right?? 

Eating locally-grown foods is an amazing way to reconnect to your community, to your family table, and to get to know your own tastes. However, we know it can also be a challenge -- especially if you've never cooked a rutabaga before, let alone a 3 pounder. It is, too, a wonderful way to get back in touch with an art many of us have lost-- how to cook delicious food from scratch.

If you're running out of good ideas, we have lots of recipes on our website for you to try, and there are some great resources online too (we love 101Cookbooks for great vegetarian ideas, Food52 for recipes for a dinner party, & Cook's Illustrated for technique.) 

And if you want more bedside reading about the importance of eating locally and re-skilling yourself and your family in the art of cooking, here are some of our favorite books:

- Michael Pollan's Cooked

- Blessing the Hands that Feed Us by Vicki Robin

- Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

- Local: The New Face of Food & Farming in America by Douglas Gayeton 

We had an AMAZING class last night-- thank you so much to the 100+ people who came out for our Thanksgiving Beer Diner 2015! That was the last class of the year, so keep your eyes peeled for new events coming after the New Year. 

Adam Lambert's Spatchcock Turkey-- smoked & roasted-- was a huge hit from last night! Check out our next Countdown to Thanksigiving on Thursday for a recipe.

First things first: here are some important details about the Winter Share.
