No matter where you live, the award-winning The Santa Monica Farmers’ Market Cookbook will inspire you to head out to your own farmers’ market and discover its treasures!

Amelia’s book is really three volumes in one: gleanings from the culture of farming; a guide to produce, meats, and cheeses found at this extraordinary market; and a great cookbook.
From the Foreword by Deborah Madison

A regional market with national presence, the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market has long inspired both renowned chefs and home cooks. For more than twenty years, Amelia Saltsman has shopped its stands, talked with its farmers, and cooked its magnificent produce for family and friends. The result is The Santa Monica Farmers’ Market Cookbook (Blenheim Press, August 1, 2007), a celebration of the market’s excellence and its hardworking farmers.

What’s the difference between white and green zucchini? What are amaranth, sapote, and ramps? With Amelia as your guide, you’ll learn the answers to these questions and more. In these pages, you’ll find advice on how to select and store produce, stories about farmers and their crops, chef and farmer cooking tips, and over 100 of Amelia’s simple, tempting recipes including:

  • Fava Bean and Pea Shoot Salad
  • Classic Tomato Soup with a Goat Cheese Swirl
  • Black Cod with Green Tomatoes
  • Roast Leg of Lamb with Oil-Cured Black Olives and Herbs
  • Seared White Nectarines with Burnt Honey
  • Meyer Lemon Sundaes with Cara Cara Oranges
    and Tangelos

She may not have been there from Day One: When the Santa Monica Farmers market first opened, Amelia Saltsman was living in Malibu, running a cooking school, raising young children and driving to Camarillo to buy strawberries. But since she moved to Santa Monica more than 20 years ago, Saltsman, a writer, cooking teacher and producer-host of the cable-access TV program “Fresh From the Farmers Market,” has been a market regular and one of its most passionate boosters.
