THE BATTLEFORDS — North Battleford's own Rhea Good is making waves in the culinary community with the release of her latest cookbook, From Garden to Table. The author showcased her new work at Bosers Greenhouse, inviting residents to connect with their food in a fresh and natural way.
Good's aim with this book is to bridge the gap for young individuals eager to embrace healthy cooking but unsure where to begin.
"This book is targeted towards young people who want to cook more natural, healthy foods but don’t know where to start,” she explained in an interview.
What sets From Garden to Table apart is its innovative approach to recipe organization. Unlike traditional cookbooks, Good has structured her book by month, aligning recipes with the availability of seasonal produce. For instance, readers can find an array of rhubarb recipes in the June section, when the rhubarb is at its peak, while July features refreshing salads and dishes highlighting Saskatoon berries.
This cookbook is the latest in a line of works by Good, who has previously authored five other books, including historical children’s literature, corporate publications and short novels.
Residents can find From Garden to Table at the North Battleford Library, where Good’s work continues to inspire others to embrace the joy of cooking with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
