"If the terms 'sustainable' and 'organic' are slowly gaining greater acceptance as viable food-growing and eating options, Jesse Cool is high on the list of people we have to thank. After the informative and heartfelt opening chapters to her wonderful book Your Organic Kitchen, Jesse lovingly guides us through the seasons with delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes. This is the way we should all be cooking!"--Michael Romano, Union Square Café
"Nothing is more important than buying food from people who take care of the land for future generations. These farmers are the ones who produce the fruits and vegetables that make these recipes written by Jesse even more irresistible."--Alice Waters, Chez Panisse, Berkeley, California
"When I first moved to California, the Flea St. Café was one of the restaurants I sought out because of Jesse Cool's culinary reputation and her devotion to sustainable agriculture. Her food was always delicious and homey with a unique style all its own. This cookbook not only embodies the essence of her creativity but it is also a wonderful source for anyone interested in sustainable and organic agriculture."--Nell Newman, Newman's Own Organics: The Second Generation

Synopsis
This decadent cookbook is a lavish, completely organic feast for all the senses
Organic products are now the fastest-growing segment of the food industry. Jesse Cool has been the proprietor of her own organic restaurant for 20 years, and she brings her expansive talents as an organic gourmet chef to Your Organic Kitchen. She has created 160 recipes that utilize organic products, but her book goes beyond recipes to embrace the entire organic philosophy. She offers readers everything they need to create their own organic kitchens at home, as well as extensive profiles of organic companies across the country.
Cool's unique philosophy is evident in every detail of the book, down to the layout: since Jesse feels that produce changes during each season, Your Organic Kitchen is divided into eight seasons, instead of the typical four. Also included are recipes from her fellow organic chefs like Rick Bayless of Frontera Grill, Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, and Michael Romano of Union Square Café. With a stunning 4-color design and 120 lush color photographs, Your Organic Kitchen is the ultimate organic experience.
