I found a few new to me cookbooks that I've fallen in love with. One was discovered through a favorite and beautiful blog, another at the local library, and the others I'm sharing are books that have sat on my shelf for years and are always the first I pick up when wondering what to eat. This week I've found myself attracted to cookbooks organized by season. Because the next couple months are going to turn out some pretty beautiful food maybe you should treat yourself to one? Or surprise a friend? You can hope as a thank you they'll cook you dinner...
?Ps. All these shots are from Saturday's West Tisbury Farmers' Market.

Book 3 (an old favorite): Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavors all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly . . . my vegetable patch!
I came to realize last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground.
Inside you'll find over one hundred new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well! -Jamie Oliver
