It teaches you how to think about vegetable forward food in a way that lets them star alongside any meat dish. If I was going to cook through any cookbook front to back, this would be it!”

Amanda C“I read this book like a novel and it changed the way I cook and how I stock my kitchen. The book is based on cooking with seasonal produce. He has three Six Seasons books and they’re all great, this one is the OG.”

Wynne“My tomatoes aren't fruiting yet but omg I love this pasta recipe and am so excited to make it again. Simple and perfect in every way. I mix some Sungolds with whatever cherry tomato variety I have and it always works. This is my very favorite cookbook and one of the only ones that fits most effortlessly into this time of my life: lax gardening, parenting, working, and avoiding max-ed out perfectionist tendencies: Sun Gold Tomato Pasta with Basil and Garlic Six Seasons | Joshua McFadden”

Joy Fowlkes“I confess I do not own the cookbook. I just check it out of the library and hold onto it until they threaten me with fees. It’s just so good. I am partial to the Couscous with English peas, apricots and lamb meatballs.”
Shannon B“I love vegetables and I love this cookbook.”
Lindsay“Delicious, innovative takes on seasonal eating that makes magic of whatever is growing in the PNW’s six seasons— though this is a must-have book no matter where you live in the US!”
