12 of Our Favorite Eat In-Season Cookbooks

We love the just-opened farmers’ markets that give us local food in abundance.

So we’re celebrating the bounty with our favorite eat-local cookbooks.

Some of these books are filled with gorgeous images that’ll trigger your senses with spreads of seasonal fare you just can’t resist.

Then there are the cookbooks stuffed with great recipes and thoughts on cooking simply, but without the photoplay.

But all these cookbooks have one thing in common: celebrating simple food made with seasonal ingredients.

And, since there is no way we could feature the many eat-local cookbooks that are available, we chose a few we own, or have personally thumbed through and could recommend.

After all, a great cookbook should ignite conversations, as well as spark appetites. All of these compilations do both and much more.

Bon Appétit!
