Three Sisters Salad - a classic native American salad made with the "three sisters" -- squash (grated zucchini), fresh corn kernels and beans (cannellini) -- cherry tomatoes and a basil, lemon and olive oil dressing.
Snap Pea and Mint Pasta -- super easy farmers market fresh taste pasta dish made with snap peas, mint, a little olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Venezuelan Arapas (Corn Pancakes) - a delicious and savory South American pancake made with cornmeal and chock full of fresh corn, and peppers. Serve with sour cream and fresh cilantro (great with maple syrup too)! This recipe is worth buying the book for.
10-minute Yogurt Cucumber Soup - a blender soup made with uncooked cucumber, red onion, green pepper (I only had a yellow pepper), garlic and herbs (mint, and basil), great in the summer, especially when all the ingredients come from a local farm.
