South Anchorage Farmers’ Market Cookbook

I don’t just bake bread, I write email newsletters with recipes, too! All winter I write our weekly Bakery Bulletin, and all summer I write the weekly South Anchorage Farmers’ Market Newsletter, as the Market Reporter! Knowing how hard it is to keep track of recipes in printed emails and computer files still on your hard drive, I’ve put all of last year’s recipes together in a cookbook!

The South Anchorage Farmers’ Market Cookbook is filled with 100 pages of delicious, healthy recipes that showcase our flavorful, fresh local Alaskan produce. Recipes provide inspiration for ways to use Alaskan vegetables, fish, fruits, bread, and other products that can be found at our farmers’ markets. Mostly vegetarian and vegetable recipes, many of which are dairy- and egg-free, the cookbook focuses on recipes that have fantastic flavor and top-notch nutritional value. The directions in each recipe include lots of hints about how to prepare these recipes with speed and efficiency. The cookbook also includes directions for processing Alaskan produce to freeze for the winter.

The cookbook is a compilation of all the recipes from last summer’s South Anchorage Farmers’ Market newsletters, as well as from all the wintertime Rise & Shine Bakery Bulletin emails, plus some additional recipes. The book contains over 100 recipes, on full-sized, spiral-bound pages, and has a thorough index and table of contents. The huge vegetable section of the book is organized alphabetically, and cross-referenced exhaustively, so you can easily find just the right recipe. The cookbook can answer questions like, “What should I do with this big beautiful armload of kale I just brought home from the farmers’ market?” Hopefully you will be even more inspired to cook up loads of fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, and bread from the farmers’ market.

The cookbooks cost $15, and this price includes a really amazing folding wire cookbook holder! It’s called the Pageboy Adjustable Bookholder, and normally sells for $6. It folds up to almost nothing to fit in a kitchen drawer, it holds your place in two recipes at once so you can easily flip back and forth between recipes, and holds ANY size cookbook in the perfect position to read it while you’re cooking. Two more reasons to love it: it saves space on your counter because the cookbook is up on its edge, and your cookbook isn’t lying flat in a puddle of balsamic vinegar or maple syrup while you cook! You can also buy just the cookbook holders, sold separately, for $6.

Wouldn’t these cookbook-book holder combinations make great Christmas or birthday gifts for your friends who love to cook? There are enough book holders to go with the first printing of cookbooks, so get cookbooks for yourself and your friends while they last!
