Well Seasoned : A Year's Worth of Delicious Recipes

Bestselling author and beloved television star Mary Berg is back with a new cookbook of more than 100 recipes to celebrate seasonal cuisine. Mary Berg is no stranger to hosting parties, and gathering all her friends and family together. In her first book, Kitchen Party: Effortless Recipes for Every Occasion, she taught readers how to turn any meal into a celebration. And don't get her wrong—the recipes in Well Seasoned will make for some amazing kitchen parties as well, but with her sophomore cookbook, Mary is sharing a more personal side to her kitchen. Well Seasoned is still all about food, friends, and family, because cooking and eating are all about sharing and showing love. But in this book, the recipes are inspired by how Mary and her family eat every day. As the seasons change, so does the food Mary craves and cooks. Sometimes it's based on what's available at the farmers' market, other times it's based on the weather, and sometimes it's based on how she feels on a particular day. While a true seasonal cookbook is governed by the availability of ingredients, with certain recipes only possible during those few weeks that a key component can be found at a local farmers' market, this book is more about what Mary craves and when. Like so many of us, Mary eats how she feels, and there is a certain rhythm she naturally follows as the year goes by. From fresh, crisp flavors in spring, to vibrant, grill-able foods in summer, to nostalgic, savory dishes in autumn, and hearty, lingering meals in winter, you'll find beautiful recipes to nourish yourself and your family all year long.
