According to the National Post column, The Appetizer, “the local food movement reached the mainstream in 2008 and 2009.  Buoyed by an interest in more nutritious, less-processed food…many of us flocked to farmers’ markets.”

This theme is exactly what Anna Olson discusses in her newest book Fresh with Anna Olson. Her book is divided into the four seasons, with recipes that features the freshest ingredients that you can find locally, that time of year. Fall is laced with root vegetables for hearty soups, and spring brings in light dishes like fish and salad. Other interesting dishes for snacks and desserts, along with Anna’s recipe tips make this one of the bestselling titles this holiday season.
