General cookery & recipes

"""Get the most out of your grocery shopping with this innovative shopper s guide and cookbook rolled into one.""

A

cookbook and market guide from the nation's premier neighborhood

grocery store, featuring expert advice on how to identify the top

ingredients in any supermarket and 90 vibrant recipes that make optimal

use of the goods.

San Francisco's Bi-Rite Market has a

following akin to a hot restaurant-its grocery goods and prepared foods

have made it a destination for lovers of great food. In Eat Good Food,

former chef turned market owner Sam Mogannam explains how to source and

use the finest farm-fresh ingredients and artisanal food products,

decipher labels and terms, and build a great pantry.

Eat Good Food gives you a new way to look at food, not only the ingredients you buy but also how to prepare them. Featuring ninety recipes for the dishes that have made Bi-Rite Market's in-house kitchen a destination for food lovers, combined with Sam's favorite recipes, you'll discover exactly how to get the best flavor from each ingredient. Dishes such as Summer Corn and Tomato Salad, Spicy String Beans with Sesame Seeds, Roasted Beet Salad with Pickled Onions and Feta, Ginger-Lemongrass Chicken Skewers with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce, Apricot-Ginger Scones, and Chocolate Pots de Cr me will delight throughout the year.

No matter where you live or shop, Sam provides new insight on ingredients familiar as well unique, including-

. Why spinach from open bins is better than prepackaged greens . What the material used to wrap cheese can tell you about the quality of the cheese itself

. How to tell where an olive oil is really from-and why it matters . What ""never ever"" programs are, and why you should look for them when buying meat

More engaging than a

field guide and more informative than a standard

cookbook, and with

primers on cooking techniques and anecdotes that

will entertain,

enlighten, and inspire, Eat Good Food will revolutionize the way home cooks shop and eat."

Reviews for Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food: A Grocer's Guide to Shopping, Cooking & Creating Community Through Food [A Cookbook]

Like a trip to Bi-Rite Market, this book is super helpful, incredibly informative, fun, and full of great ways to use all the food that's in it. Spend twenty minutes shopping at Bi-Rite Market and you're pretty much guaranteed to leave with a basketful of well-made, great tasting, sustainably produced food, a lot of informative insights about what you bought, recipe ideas for how to serve it, and a big smile. With this book, you'll experience all of that--aside from the actual food--and will likely want to start putting what you've learned about smart, sustainable shopping to work right away at your local market and then later in your kitchen. If you live in the Mission, you probably already shop at Bi-Rite. If you live further afield, buy the book and visit the shop (as I do) every time you're in town. <br> --Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Zingerman's Community of Businesses and author of Zingerman's Guide to Good Eating <br> Eat Good Food is a lot more useful than your typica
