I have always wanted to visit Vermont, now I really want to. Not only there awesome recipes in this cookbook it tells you the story behind each recipe. In the back there are addresses and websites to each of the awesome places. I think the first recipe was my favorite, the pancakes!

“The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook” by Tracey Medeiros celebrates the best locally inspired recipes from farmers to distilleries that honor Vermont’s heritage traditions and landscape. Few foods conjure up Vermont’s feel-good nostalgia like maple syrup or apple pie. Tracey Medeiros’s cookbook combines popular crowd-pleasing recipes with environmentally conscious producers to build a menu any family can count on. Time-tested ingredients are masterfully blended into mouth-watering perfection while remaining easy to make. Heartfelt stories fill the pages as family classics passed down through generations are modernized to add unique flavors while being sourced responsibly. No matter if it is a simple Creme Brulee French Toast breakfast or sophisticated Drumlin Whiskey Sour after-dinner drinks, tried and tasty recipes found within “The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook: Homegrown Recipes from the Green Mountain State” are sure to bring a smile to the faces of food snobs and finicky eaters alike.
Tracey Medeiros has compiled the best of Vermont’s farmers and chefs into a well-researched and organized tourist guide for the taste buds. “The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook” is written and photographed in the stunning rolling hills of Vermont farmland. The photographs reflect the rich tradition of farm fresh real food that is full of flavor with minimally processed ingredients. Stories behind the recipe creation pair alongside easy-to-follow directions. Credit is given to the chef, farm, co-op, and producer to highlight the simplicity of healthy, affordable ingredients and the benefits of a sustainable lifestyle.

As a self-proclaimed food snob who grew up in a family that owned seven highly-rated restaurants, I could not wait to test several recipes within “The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook.” For a light lunch, I prepared Tomato Coconut Soup; delicious is an understatement. I paired the Chicken Paprika recipe with the Winter Squash with Roasted Garlic recipe for a dinner party, it was a huge success. The dishes were simple to make and consisted of a creamy sweet aftertaste that was satisfying to all our guests.
I enjoyed reading about Vermont’s history and how agritourism is being introduced as a means for food producers to supplement their income by expanding into the tourism field. I also liked having resources available such as pick-your-own fields, farmers markets, hay rides, and gift shops with online ordering capabilities noted to provide readers the opportunity to support the businesses year-round. Tracey Medeiros’s “The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook: Homegrown Recipes from the Green Mountain State” is a welcome addition to our family library of cookbooks.

Tracey Medeiros' 10th anniversary edition of "The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook" is a welcome addition to her collection of delightful cookbooks. The book not only appeals to my palate, but offers an array of evocative photos that are a sight to behold. The book's selection of savory recipes is hard to resist! I love the"Pure Honey Glazed Chicken with Sweet Corn Spoonbread and Vanilla Truffle Butter Sauce!" Happily,I topped off this amazing dish with another,"Honey Ice Cream With Strawberries." What a mouthwatering treat!
This is definetly my go to cookbook, its recipes are amazing! I can hardly wait to scan through the book's recipes to plan my next culinary creation inspired by the Green Mountain State and Tracey Medeiros.

This book is a taste of Vermont when I am not there with my family. We have eaten out together at inns, shopped the local farm stores, picked apples together, shopped the King Arthur store for container to hold the maple syrup, and driven through the idyllic countryside.
These recipes taste great, and have many interesting stories about Vermont farmers, artisans, and inn owners. Plus it's in its second edition, testimony to its lasting appeal.

A beautiful cookbook and some recipes I'd love to try, but so many of the ingredients are difficult to find in my small-ish community. I did try the Creme Brulee French Toast (to die for!) and the Caribbean Cornbread, which was very tasty and liked by my picky eater husband, making the cornbread a definite keeper!
