"This beautiful book, which celebrates Berkeley's iconic grocery, is filled not only with Erin Scott's stunning photographs but also with recipes and ideas for how to use produce that grows on our shores but is not always the easiest to know what to do with. Now I know how to use those banana flowers I've encountered in Florida--and many other foods as well." --Deborah Madison, author of Vegetable Literacy and In My Kitchen "I've been waiting for this book for the past decade. Since moving to the Bay Area, Berkeley Bowl has been my go-to market for buying food--whether catering an event or cooking for my family--and I am always discovering new produce there. The Berkeley Bowl Cookbook is an invaluable resource with fresh ideas for familiar ingredients and dozens of recipes for ingredients that you probably have never heard of (let alone cooked)." --Bryant Terry, James Beard Foundation Leadership Award recipient and author of Afro-Vegan "The recipes are adventurous, but their execution is straightforward--perfect for those looking to cook outside their culinary comfort zones." -- Publisher's Weekly "You could say [McLively] wrote the book on the place.... You'll be cooking inventively in no time." -- Diablo Magazine "The diversity is stunning and inspiring, with recipes using flowers, seeds and pods, savoury fruits, leaves, spores and succulents, roots and tubers, stems and sweet fruits, plus tips on where to get these if you don't live in the shop's vicinity." --American Express Essentials

Synopsis
Celebrating the unfamiliar yet extraordinary produce from California's most iconic market, Berkeley Bowl, this cookbook offers recipes for a panoply of fruits and vegetables that have been largely overlooked or forgotten in popular cuisine. Registered dietitian Laura McLively, an avid home cook and creator of the popular blog MyBerkeleyBowl, created a recipe for every unfamiliar or "exotic" fruit and vegetable she found at Berkeley Bowl. Here is a collection of her favorite discoveries, and a tribute to the remarkable, 40-year-old family-run market that inspired them. Shining a spotlight on the versatile and unique qualities of the astonishingly beautiful, plant-based bounty that's available to vegetarians and meat eaters alike, these recipes and photographs will help you embrace hundreds of exciting fruits and vegetables you may never have tasted or thought of cooking, including crunchy sea bean spindles, tubers bigger than a toddler, wiry haired rambutans, and wrinkly skinned Indian bitter melon. Eating more types and colors of plants exposes us to a wider variety of nutrients, antioxidants, and beneficial bacteria. Berkeley Bowl is a mecca for great chefs, and with the recipes in this cookbook, you'll see why. Even if you don't live near Berkeley Bowl, getting your hands on these ingredients can be a fun and rewarding experience in its own right, and cooking with them will make your meals explode with flavors, textures, and new culinary adventures for all your senses.

    Awesome condition game module! Fast shipping too. Seller communication was great. Seller was able to securely package the game module for shipping to my needs in a low profile cardboard box and with good bubble wrapping within. The item was accurately pictured and described which helped greatly in the purchasing decision. The game module was of great quality at a great price. I highly recommend this seller and would gladly do business again. Thanks. A++++

    This was a fairly rare book and it arrived in amazing condition, exactly as described, was very well wrapped and protected and arrived quickly and in very good condition. The seller (Kentucky Original) was awesome and I would most certainly buy from again (and in fact I going to make an offer on another book KO has that has caught my eye ....)

  • Yotam Ottolenghi loves this grocer. Wonderful recipe book, BUT may not be as useful for people without access to unusual produce.

    Great recipe book from my go-to grocery shop. I live within 15 minutes of the store, and was very happy with amazing produce available (including exotics from around the world). Now I get to try out some of the unusual varieties. Lovely layout and photographs.
