A Staple in our Cookbook Collection

I first checked this out from the library, and realized it was something I needed to own. It's a staple in my kitchen now, I reference it constantly and many of the recipes make regular appearances at our table. Definitely a fantastic book - and you don't have to be from Colorado to love it.

truly local produce and meats

I joined a csa and this book was wonderful in providing recipes that utilized the vegetables I recieved every week. The recipes are not greatly complicated nor do they call for many other exotic ingredients. This is a must for locavores in colorado.

Love these recipes!

I love this cookbook. We made a fresh peach and goat cheese bruschetta and a squash soup for a late summer dinner from the Colorado Farmers Market Cookbook. Our friends just raved about it. The book also has a lot of really nice color photos of Colorado farms, farmers markets and produce. Recommened as a gift for anyone who loves Colorado or cookbooks.
