This is the engaging story of one woman's journey as she sought a simpler life on a farm. It features over 150 photos featuring the life of the farm bring both food and farm alive. This cookbook of 125 accessible, simple, delicious recipes from the Queen of Fresh, Susie Middleton, goes beyond traditional 'fresh' cookbooks. What distinguishes this book is the engaging story of one woman's journey as she sought a simpler life, bought a farm on a rural island and started planting and growing vegetables in the hopes of doing something she loves (growing and cooking food) and finding a satisfying life at the same time. Susie's story is real, just like her food, but Susie isn't the star of this book. It's really about the vegetables and how they shaped her life around growing and harvesting them and how she honours them in the kitchen. Susie's recipes highlight these vegetables but aren't necessarily vegetarian, though they are healthy, fresh and simple. The visuals are as equally engaging as the text. 35 finished dish photos and 120 lifestyle photos featuring the life of the farm bring both food and farm alive.
