Each fruit and vegetable is accompanied by a "lighthearted" essay, photography, and one showcase recipe, along with three “quick-hit” recipe ideas, according to Barbara Ambler-Thomas, Director of Marketing and Administration for the California Farmers' Markets Association.
Author and food writer Cheryl Sternman Rule of the popular food blog, 5 Second Rule, and award-winning food photographer Paulette Phlipot, collaborated to inspire readers to “embrace the vegetable, behold the fruit.” The book is published by RunningPress (April 2012; $25.00).
