The Farm to Table Cookbook
The art of eating locally

"Makes readers hungry for fresh, locally grown foods with her recipes and guides on selecting the best fruits and vegetables and cooking them in the most delicious ways." --Rebekah Denn, Seattle Post Intelligencer, December 2008

"This is a practical and beautiful guide to farmers' markets with inventive, delicious recipes like Dandelion Greens, Italian Sausage & Fontina Cheese Pizza, which we tested and loved." --Roz Kooker, EatingWell July/August 2008

"My favorite cookbook since Sally Schneider's A New Way to Cook. Ivy Manning has a similar style to Sally in that she not only provides great recipes, she also teaches you how to cook -- and how to use the produce you find throughout the year." -- Staff pick, Powells.com

"I was heartened to find a variety of recipes well-suited for novice cooks such as myself." --Adrienne Webb, Northwest Palate Magazine, May 2008

"Manning's recipes are well-crafted, often adding new bursts of flavor to old stand-by's..." --Santa Fe New Mexican, July 2008

"We love Ivy Manning's first book. Not only is it an important book for people striving to eat locally, but-- just like its author-- it's warm, sincere, intelligent." -- Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid, Authors of Hot Sour Salty Sweet

"I can't think of a better guide to the world of cooking fresh, seasonal produce than Ivy Manning. Her food is delicious and her recipes are smart and efficient" --Martha Holmberg, Food Editor, The Oregonian

The Adaptable Feast
Satisfying Meals for the Vegetarians, Vegans, and Omnivores at Your Table

After marrying a vegetarian, meat-lover Ivy Manning developed a collection of recipes that each had a "fork in the road" to a few vegetarian servings of a meaty dish or a few omnivore servings of a vegetarian dish. Over the years, the author has assembled a diverse and delicious array of recipes from cuisines worldwide that are flexible enough to accommodate everyone at the table. Typical entries in this beautifully illustrated cookbook include elegant Japanese Eggplant and Halibut with Miso Glaze, and a sumptuous Spaghetti Carbonara for gourmands of all persuasions.
