Fruitful

Fruitful is a trip to the local orchard overflowing with ripe seasonal produce -- and it's not just desserts! From sweet to savory including fresh juices every chapter is devoted to the produce of the moment: rhubarb strawberries apples plums apricots peaches quinces pears and more. This delectable cookbook showcases the bounty from New York's favorite orchard illustrated with gorgeous full-color photography throughout -- but all of the fruit can be found wherever you live.

Pies and cobblers are only the beginning of four seasons of recipes celebrating fruit: Strawberry-Black Pepper Granita Spicy Roast Chicken with Rhubarb Chutney Scallop and Blueberry Ceviche Grilled Peach Shrimp and Prosciutto Skewers and Rustic Apricot and Raspberry Crostada offer a taste of the juicy dishes inside. And twenty-five recipes will come from fruit-loving chefs who count themselves among Red Jacket's devoted customers: a few of the contributors include Dan Barber Jonathan Waxman Karen DeMasco and Melissa Clark.

Whether it's a bushel of peaches or a bundle of rhubarb you'll find plenty to dish up here.>
