I will extend the contest to Sunday at 4:00PM EST!
As promised, now that I have reached 400 followers on Twitter I am doing my first giveaway! One of you will win a copy of Amy Cotler's The Locavore Way
. Just in time for the height of Farmer's Market season you
will have an amazing resource for the best ways to find and enjoy local
ingredients.
Cotler's book is a powerful petite volume full of tips and tricks for finding the best local produce and getting the most out of it when you bring it home. I purchased the book last summer during my trip to Portland and it has helped me relearn how to shop and eat locally. Cotler includes great lists such as: "15 Ways To Become a Locavore," "Ways to Make the Most of your CSA Bounty," and a full list of local fruits and vegetables in "Play With Your Food." Many, like the one below, are perfect for copying and posting on the fridge as a reminder to eat and shop locally.

Beginning with a history of
Farmer's Markets, U-Pick stands and CSAs, Cotler gives a great overview of
today's options with an appreciation of how we came to them. While reading
through the book you will find yourself becoming a greater proponent of locavory
and learn new ways to seek out the produce growing nearest to you.
