In this new cookbook, Gesine Bullock-Prado invites her fans into her kitchen, where the harvest is local. Whether she’s picked the lettuce from her own garden, visited a farmers’ market or shopped at the local grocery store, her seasonal cooking is accessible to all. Delicious recipes share the page with fan-favourite family stories and tips on growing food, understanding the soil and more for aspirational (and actual) gardeners.

Bullock-Prado once dreamed of self-sufficiency—living off the land, cooking pies with scavenged berries, keeping bees and foraging all things wild—but was not wholly successful. Her hybrid approach is on display here, and she encourages readers to be realistic and celebrate fresh ingredients wherever they were grown. From Zucchini Waffles to Pickled Peaches, Peony Jelly to Preserved Lemons, these are dishes to make time and again.
