A cookbook rec.

I've been finding Alice Waters' The Art of Simple Food (New York, Clarkson Potter, 2007) useful in dealing with CSA boxes, because she really does cook seasonally, unlike most modern cookbooks. It's hard to work with books that assume you can mix seasons when you're trying to eat locally!
That said, her meat dishes often involve much, much more meat than we usually eat in our household, and she's certainly got her elitist moments (I dunno about you, but I don't have duck fat on hand regularly in my kitchen). Still, it may be worth a look -- it is one of the few cookbooks that lives in my kitchen cabinet rather than in my living room.
