Joshua McFadden, chef and owner of Ava Gene’s in Portland, Oregon, is a renowned chef and cookbook author. This book is a celebration of fresh food year round. It is sectioned by what is fresh at each part of the year and showcases different ways to use each ingredients. There are 225 recipes and I feel like I've tried almost all of them. The tuna gratin, kale salad, and smashed potatoes are just a few of my favorites.
