It’s given me so many great ideas.” - Ruth Reichl, former editor of Gourmet and Author of Garlic and Sapphires.

"Good food from family farmers feeds us, body and soul. The many delicious meals you will cook from these recipes will add up to big changes for our farmers, our families, our communities, and our planet." - Willie Nelson, President and Founder of Farm Aid.

"There is no greater joy than sharing food around the table. The Chefs Collaborative Cookbook is filled with sustainable recipes that will enrich your palates and your plates for years to come!" - Laurie David, Produce, Environmental Activist, and Author of The Family Dinner.
