An Evening with Gesine Bullock-Prado for MY HARVEST KITCHEN

Join us in welcoming Gesine Bullock-Prado for the first time to Bold Fork Books! Gesine will be discussing her newest cookbook, MY HARVEST KITCHEN: 100+ Recipes to Savor the Seasons with local author and journalist Olga Massov.

ABOUT THE COOKBOOK

In this highly anticipated follow-up to her best-selling cookbook, My Vermont Table, Gesine Bullock-Prado celebrates seasonal homegrown ingredients.

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 readers. Delicious recipes share the page with fan-favorite family stories and tips on growing food, understanding the soil, and more, for aspirational (and actual) gardeners. Bullock-Prado once dreamed of homesteading—living off the land, cooking pies with scavenged berries, keeping bees and savoring the honey, 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, Green Mountain Carbonara to Key Lime Ice Cream Pie, Peony Jelly to Preserved Lemons, these are dishes to make time and again.
