"Kim Ragosta writes the recipes that keep local RI farms cooking. In a time of sky-high grocery prices, this Rhode Island cook and mother of five barters food for recipes—and creates works of art." —Lauren Daley, The Boston Globe

"In a time when home-cooked meals have been replaced by takeout, this treasure trove of recipes could not be more valuable. The industrial food system has intentionally removed transparency in favor of convenience, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. We meet so many people that are beginning to uncover the truth and yearn to make a difference. They like the idea of supporting local farms and see it as an imperative cultural shift but have never heard of kohlrabi or short ribs, let alone know how to cook them. Kim Ragosta masterfully marries these issues by partnering with her favorite local farms to encourage all of us to take the leap into supporting the change that we wish to see in the food system, and learn how to make incredibly delicious and nutritious meals that nourish our families, our communities, and our planet. Simple home-cooked meals, sourced from honest, local farms, is the antidote to our unhealthy diets, cultures, and ecosystems." —Ben Coerper and Rachael Slattery, Wild Harmony Farm
