eBook Review: The Autumn Kitchen and The Summer Kitchen by Jennifer A. Wickes
There is nothing more thrilling than Autumn. The leaves are turning color and falling from the trees, people are busy in their gardens preparing for winter, children are back to school, and warm comforting food is ever present. Produce, such as pumpkins, which we have not seen all year, is now back! Apple picking is one of the school trips that some school systems offer. And produce, such as kiwifruits and bananas are at their peak! There is nothing more thrilling than the summer season. There is so much fresh produce available that cooking becomes more exciting. Fresh Brussels sprouts, corn, tomatoes, berries, peaches, pears, cucumbers and more are everywhere! Farmer's Markets are in full swing, gardens are overflowing with delicious fruits and vegetables, and people are grilling their dinners and having potlucks with families and friends. Some of us are packing picnics and heading out to parks, beaches, pools and boats to enjoy the summer weather.
