Seasonally inspired cookbook celebrating the iconic Lunenburg Farmers' Market, featuring over 60 recipes, from the author of Maritime Fresh.

From rhubarb and strawberries in the spring to squash and lobster in deep winter, The Lunenburg Farmers' Market Cookbook celebrates the diverse and delicious food available in Nova Scotia year-round.

Taste Canada Award nominee Elisabeth Bailey shares the joys of using local ingredients and the strong sense of community formed at farmers' markets everywhere in recipes that marry universal cooking tips with unique East Coast flavours. Since 1984, the Lunenburg Farmers' Market has been providing fresh food to both home cooks and restaurant chefs alike. Alongside stunning photos by food stylist Alyssa Valletta, this month-by-month cookbook features profiles of different Nova Scotian farmers and suppliers and advice on how to make your farmers' market experience the best it can be.

Eat your way through the year with every type of dish, from reimagined classic Nova Scotian recipes (Sesame Soy Scallops, Lunenburg Market Chowder) to plates inspired by international cuisine (Maghrebi Shakshuka, Indonesian Goat Curry). With flavourful vegetarian dishes (Spring Green Soup, Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Pie) and delectable desserts (No-Churn Raspberry Ice Cream, Chocolate Rum Bites), there's something for everyone to be found in this cookbook—and at your local farmers' market.
