“The Stick to Local Farms Cookbook is a wonderful idea and a great accomplishment—I am going to put the rhubarb soup on the menu this weekend! Maria gathers her thoughts just as one gathers ingredients to prepare a delicious meal, distinguishing the seasons in presentation and format. Reading this book is like talking food to her in person. I love it!”
