One idea that fell out of style in the Betty Crocker years was that fruits and vegetables should be eaten in season. Though published in that era, this attractive and well-written book aligns with the agrarian past and the organic, local food movement present. As such, it manages to be both behind and ahead of the curve. The author takes the reader on a culinary tour of the calendar year, extolling the pleasures of young, tender peas and in-season berries. Includes recipes and seasonal charts.
