This is a pretty cookbook that focuses on how to make the most of all of your produce rather than tossing things like stems, leaves, etc. The recipes tend towards simple gourmet and there are photos of about 1/3 to 1/2 of the recipes. Gluten free folks are likely to be able to use it easily (very little flour is used and pasta recipes can just use GF pasta), though vegetarians and vegans especially will have to skip a fair number of the recipes since there's quite a lot of the use of bacon and other meats, dairy, etc.

I already use most of my produce, which I think most of us who grow our own veggies or buy from CSAs and farmers' markets have learned to do. I didn't find much that was new to me and a lot of it is very specific (use this part of this veggie and add it to these ingredients you'll have to go out and buy) rather than simple ideas for lots of ways to use all the various parts that so frequently get wasted. There were a few basic recipes that will be good for that sort of thing for those who are new to use-it-all cooking, such as how to make scrap broth and citrus zest. Mostly, however, this is just a cookbook that has a few recipes for odd parts of each kind of veggie.

No nutritional information is provided.

One small quibble-- the author says in the asparagus section that wild asparagus is a variety that is "more vine-like" with tiny, thin spears (she says she gets it in trendy San Francisco restaurants in early spring). That's nonsense. Wild asparagus is simply asparagus that has spread to the wild, which it does quite easily and all over the country (check along fence lines, in ditches and near abandoned homesteads). Our family forages up to 60 pounds of wild asparagus every spring and I can assure you that it's the same plant and comes in all sizes depending on when in the season you are. If you want to look for some of your own, here's some info on finding and foraging it: http://magicalchildhood.com/life/2017...

All in all, this is a fun book that would be especially helpful for foodies who are looking for ways to make use of their CSA produce.
