This is yet another book that I borrowed from Food for Thought (thanks!), and I had read this book quite a while ago, but it is one that has really affected my thinking and relationship with food. I also saw Joan discuss it again recently at the Just Food Summit in December (which was a really exciting event). The premise of this book is a person who is a big supporter of local food putting her money where her mouth is, so to speak, and sets out to grow all of the produce she will consume through the course of the year in her own small garden in suburban New York. It turns out to be quite a journey, filled with both frustration and inspiration, and some really yummy recipes. Joan mentioned at the talk in December, that she is still growing all of her own produce and supplements her diet with dairy, eggs and meats from local farmers. She's my hero!
