Melissa’s 50 Best Plants on the Planet Cookbook Giveaway

6 March, 2013 by KatBp 3 Comments

I’m helping out another blogger with this giveaway. If you love to cook then you’re in the right place! Good luck to everyone.

Melissa's logo Here is a little about Melissa’s from their website, “Think tasty, creamy, tangy, aromatic, tart, sweet, crunchy and delectable. Within the 280,000 square feet of the Melissa’s/World Variety Produce, Inc. warehouse, you’re sure to find the freshest fruits and vegetables – quality products with exceptional value and first-class service. Melissa’s/World Variety Produce, Inc. is currently the largest distributor of specialty produce in the United States. With over 1000 items available at any given time, Melissa’s imports and distributes exotic fresh fruits and vegetables from around the globe. Here’s a reference to its food safety program, and a reference to logistics. Located in the Vernon district of Los Angeles, California, World Variety Produce began strictly as a source of specialty produce. In recent years, the company has incorporated a “one-stop shopping” concept.” I received a copy of their amazing cookbook, Melissa’s 50 Best Plants on the Planet Cookbook

cookbook - melissas 1.fwHere is a little about the cookbook from their website,

We know that most people aren’t hitting their fruit and veggie targets a day, maybe because we’re told all the time to eat them, but not necessarily how to eat them. Which fruits and veggies pack the best punch? Which ones best suit your body if you’re looking to boost immunity or heart health, to soothe your tummy, smooth your skin or balance your mood? What should you look for when shopping, and what cooking techniques should you use?

This cookbook answers these questions and more. This alphabetized encyclopedia contains information about the 50 most nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables. The health benefit of each produce item is highlighted and paired with tips on how to buy, store, and, of course, cook each item, with 150 recipes for simple sides and main courses. Discover new favorites – cactus pear, chrysanthemum leaf or dandelion green. You will use this definitive guide time and time again to make the most of every shopping experience in the produce department. The author is Cathy Thomas, the award-winning food columnist at the Orange County Register.

cookbook - melissas 2.fwWith so many amazing recipes you can’t go wrong with this amazing book. This book has some amazing recipes for all types of plants, anywhere from broccoli, chili peppers, cactus, blackberries and many others.
