For Andrea Reusing—an award-winning chef, a leader in the
sustainable agriculture movement, and a working
mother—“cooking in the moment” simply means focusing on one
meal at a time. Tender spring broccoli given a smoky char on
the grill, a summer berry pudding with cold cream, or a
cider-braised pork shoulder served with pan-fried apples on
a frosty night—cooking and eating this way allows food in
season to become the foundation of a full life. Cooking in
the Moment is a rich, absorbing journey through a year in
Reusing’s home kitchen as she cooks for family and friends
using ingredients grown nearby. When seasonality is reimagined as a grocery list rather than
a limitation, everyday meals become cause for celebration—a
whole week of fresh sweet corn; a blue moon autumn asparagus
harvest; a rich, spicy soup made with the last few sweet
potatoes of winter. Reusing seamlessly blends down-to-earth
kitchen advice with delicious, doable recipes, including
childhood favorites (chicken and dumplings), simple one-pot
dinners (shrimp, pea, and rice stew), as well as feasts to
satisfy a crowd (roast fresh ham with cracklings). And while
the action takes place in North Carolina, the kinds of
producers and places that animate these pages—farmers,
ranchers, cheesemakers, butchers, bakers, orchards, backyard
henhouses, and fishing holes—can be found all over,
producing the flavors that we crave. With gorgeous photography throughout and more than 130
recipes, Cooking in the Moment will inspire cooks everywhere
to embrace the flavors and bounty of each season.
