FRESH PANTRY: LETTUCE
Eat Seasonally, Cook Smart & Learn to Love Your Leafy Greens
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.
Fresh Pantry: Lettuce is the fifth volume in the 12-month series and features fun and inspired recipes for springtime leafy greens that will liven up your kitchen, without boring your palate or relying on processed foods. Fresh Pantry: Lettuce features:
- Approximately 15 creative yet easy recipes spanning every meal of the day, including Steamed Lettuce Envelope with Cheesy Polenta & Fried Egg, Bitter Greens with Boozy Apricots & Manchego, Chilled Lettuce Soup, and Mustard-Braised Lettuce & Pork Chops
- Lush, full-color photographs
- Tips and techniques
- Just one of 12 monthly installments: Look for e-books on winter squash, carrots, rhubarb, peppers, beets, and more!
