Now more than ever, Americans are giving careful thought to where their food comes from. Farmers, formerly anonymous suppliers, are providing an inspiration to chefs everywhere. Harvest to Heat celebrates the collaboration between farmer and chef--and the journey from land to table. Readers will visit the men and women who grow, herd, ranch, and create artisanal foods that supply more than 55 of the finest restaurant chefs in the country. More than 100 photos document this dynamic relationship and paint beautiful portraits of these often unheralded people. Harvest to Heat also offers a bounty of recipes--100 in all--and will encourage readers to think fresh first and buy food locally, and motivate them to cook with the confidence of a four-star chef.
