With more than 100 seasonal recipes, resources, menu suggestions, and farmers’ stories, Jim Denevan and Marah Stets bring their farm-to-table philosophy to our kitchens in Outstanding in the Field: A Farm to Table Cookbook (Random House Inc., $32.50). Since 1999, chef Denevan has been traveling the U.S. in “an intermittently reliable 1953 Flexible bus” named Outstanding, hosting dinners where dinner has never been served—from a Manhattan city garden to a coastal cave in California. He sheds light on the importance of knowing those who feed us, and that the farmers who grow our food are as important to good eating as the chefs who cook it. Perfect for the locavore cook.
