A Local Table

For us, many New Year resolutions surround our diet. We vow to cut out bad foods and eat well. But as busy parents with so much on the go, it can be difficult to eat sensibly, healthy and avoid quick meals, which tend to be processed. With this new cookbook, you now have a helpful tool to make eating at home enjoyable, healthy, educational and sustainable.

The Choices' cookbook vibe

Antonio Cerullo, a local chef, and Desiree Nielsen, a registered dietician, from Choices Markets recently put together A Local Table, a simple cookbook of how to eat well and make cooking easy over our four seasons here in B.C. – and eat local too!

Why we like it

As parents, we love that the recipes are easy to follow and do not feature 'complex' ingredients or techniques. We love simple recipes that result in healthy, delicious meals, which this book delivers.

The authors have made the cookbook simple enough so that we can learn how to eat locally all year round, which helps us reduce our carbon footprint. Recipes are grouped by the four seasons and there’s a month-by-month calendar highlighting what foods are in season in Vancouver and the Okanagan. An added bonus of having locally sourced ingredients is that we won't have difficulty finding them!

This cookbook is great for parents who have children with food allergies or are on special diets as the book features recipes and information for families with restricted diets, including gluten-free, nut-free and vegetarian.

In addition to being a cookbook full of delicious recipes, we like to think of A Local Table as our guide to healthy eating. We appreciate the tips on nutrition and healthy eating found throughout the book, and the personal stories about the people who are producing our food in B.C. Overall, this is definitely a very useful cookbook to add to your collection of cookbooks!
