Join us for a conversation with Gesine Bullock-Prado about her new cookbook, My Harvest Kitchen: 100+ Recipes to Savor the Seasons. She will be speaking with Mary Anna King about gardening, cooking, writing, teaching, and more.

Our co-hosts, Yankee Bookshop will have early copies of the book for purchase and signing. This event is free & open to all; space is limited: first come, first seated.

In this new cookbook, Gesine Bullock-Prado invites her fans into her kitchen, where the harvest is local. Whether she’s picked the lettuce from her own garden, visited a farmers’ market, or shopped at the local grocery store, her seasonal cooking is accessible to all readers. Delicious recipes share the page with fan-favorite family stories and tips on growing food, understanding the soil, and more, for aspirational (and actual) gardeners.

Bullock-Prado once dreamed of homesteading—living off the land, cooking pies with scavenged berries, keeping bees and savoring the honey, and foraging all things wild—but was not wholly successful. Her hybrid approach is on display here, and she encourages readers to be realistic and celebrate fresh ingredients wherever they were grown. From Zucchini Waffles to Pickled Peaches, Green Mountain Carbonara to Key Lime Ice Cream Pie, Peony Jelly to Preserved Lemons, these are dishes to make time and again.
