The Green City Market Cookbook: Great Recipes from Chicago's Award-Winning Farmers Market by Chicago local non-profit Green City Market (Wikipedia) with a foreword by celebrity chef Rick Bayless (Wikipedia) is a lavishly photo-illustrated compilation of farm-to-table recipes and tips focusing on enjoying fresh local produce in season from Midwest regional farmers, free courtesy of publisher Agate's Midway imprint.

This is really quite nifty and arranges the dishes by season for maximum planning/shopping convenience, and also has little write-ups for the recipes from the chefs on the stories behind their dishes and related advice.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ B&N (also UK) & Amazon (not available to Canadians, but also free in the UK), and may show up later as a DRM-free PDF available worldwide directly @ the publisher's webcatalogue page (where you can watch a video of one of the chefs preparing one of her dishes from the book), as Agate freebies sometimes do.

This has an 18 meg filesize, so if you've strict data limits on your 3G device plan, you might prefer to d/l or transfer via another method.

Description
Founded in 1998 by the late culinary luminary, author, chef, and entrepreneur Abby Mandel, the Green City Market is the venerable year-round farmers market held in Chicago's Lincoln Park. Since its inception, the Green City Market has grown into one of the most popular destinations for finding organic and sustainable produce and products throughout the Midwest's extensive farm-to-table culinary movement.

The Green City Market Cookbook is the first collection of recipes from the celebrity chefs, local farmers, loyal customers, and longtime vendors that make up the Green City Market community. Beautifully illustrated with full-color photography, the thoroughly tested recipes in this book represent a diversity of wonderful meals that can be created from the fresh, sustainable output of Midwestern family farms.

Chicago's leading chefs, as well as other market regulars, have contributed recipes simple enough for the inexperienced cook but sufficiently enticing to satisfy the most discriminating gourmet. Organized by season, The Green City Market Cookbook provides eager readers with recipes that make use of fresh fruits and vegetables that come straight from the small regional farms that are the lifeblood of the farm-to-fork movement.
