Like many of today’s home gardeners, Jeanne Kelley’s
backyard kitchen garden is a means to indulge her desire
for fresh, organic, and flavor-rich produce. Just minutes
outside of downtown Los Angeles, this same backyard is also
home to Kelley’s pet goat and Ameraucana chickens, which
provide her with a plentiful amount of milk and sky blue
eggs that often feature in Kelley’s internationally
inspired dishes. Now she shares more than 150 of her
recipes, all of which incorporate new and authentic ways to
take advantage of local and seasonal foods and incorporate
the multi-ethnic flavors into your everyday meals. This
remarkable cookbook presents a contemporary version of
field-to-table cooking that hails from a region where home
chefs prune their kitchen gardens in the shadow of
metropolitan cities and year-round farmers’ markets provide
heirloom vegetables that inspire classic and enticing
dishes. Capitalizing on her 20 years as a Bon Appetit
contributor, Kelley’s recipes are simple and spectacular.
With strategies for both weeknight cooking and special
occasions, Blue Eggs and Yellow Tomatoes is the essential
manual for all who hunger to create quick and healthy meals
with flair. In addition to the many mouthwatering recipes,
Kelley provides readers with tips and menus for
entertaining, plus a thorough kitchen garden primer that
celebrates the simple joy of growing your own produce-
including discussion on small container and community
gardens, raising and keeping backyard chickens, composting,
and growing your own exotic ingredients.
