Description

---

This cookbook combines the farm-to-table appeal of Alice Waters with the French escapism of Patricia Wells. It will satisfy those who aspire to the lifestyle fantasies of Kinfolk magazine and follow chefs like Dan Barber and David Kinch.
 
A thoughtful, deep-rooted way of cooking that reconnects us with the land. Daniel de la Falaise approaches cooking as a sensual task and a celebration of quality products involving as little interference as possible. His compass point: the taste of the raw ingredient just plucked from the soil. His way of cooking— which places vegetables at the forefront, but is not vegetarian—centers around coaxing the most flavor from each ingredient at its peak freshness. Nature’s Larder opens up a new way of thinking about food, one that returns to an instinctual relationship to taste and a direct connection to the natural world.

"A vegetable-centric cookbook moored in seasonality and subtle, smart cooking techniques." 
-MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL

"Filled with tips for the aspiring gentleman farmer, from how to store your cold-pressed olive oil to when one should expect mirabelle plums, the collection also includes recipes for every course - even if de la Falaise would prefer that his readers stay joyful and improvisational. . . Judging from the look of the saffron rissotto, seared banana, and caviar-topped quail eggs, though, it won't do you much harm to go by the book."
