It’s week four of bok choy. The kale looks great. And what are these strange fruits? Every week, the CSA box brings fresh, local produce and also challenges for the home cook.

In Bounty from the Box: The CSA Farm Cookbook, author Mi Ae Lipe tells you everything you need to know about produce from artichokes to zucchini: how to choose, clean, prepare, cook with, store, and so much more. Best of all, this comprehensive volume helps everyone get the best out of our local fruits and vegetables.

On her book tour across the U.S. made in her trusty Subaru, Mi Ae came to South Florida farmers markets and the Miami Book Fair. Cristina Favretto and Gretchen Schmidt talked about her discoveries en route to creating her comprehensive and info-packed cookbook.
