Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables

Joshua McFadden with Martha Holmberg

Best for

Members who want to understand seasonality and learn how the same vegetable can be prepared differently as it develops through the year.

About the book

Organized around the arc of the growing year rather than the usual chapters, this book follows vegetables from their earliest, most delicate stage through full maturity. The result is a practical argument for buying what is genuinely in season and adjusting technique to match, with straightforward guidance on acidity, fat, salt, and texture.

Our take

This is a book that quietly builds skill. It encourages variety, fresh ingredients, better cooking technique, and a deeper appreciation for vegetables, which is exactly the direction we want everyday meals to move. Cooking with the season also tends to improve flavor and value at the same time.
