Want to eat more plants? Food ELEVATED offers readers an opportunity to take a dive into the world of seasonal cooking. From historical snippets about rich Colorado agriculture to how to cut a beautiful, farmer's market cantaloupe, and anything in between, a home cook will receive fun facts and cool tips to bring more fruits, vegetables, and grains to the dining table.

Moving through the four seasons, the reader will experience farm freshness and beautiful dishes with produce in easy, elegant ways. The 100 recipes cover seven cuisines that are accessible and bring color, spice, and texture to a dish. In addition, each recipe includes an Elevate This option, so the home chef can enhance the culinary experience via a different cuisine, garnishes, or presentation.

From marrying pears and parsnips and revisiting the sugar beet industry to experimenting with herbs, wild and cultivated mushrooms, and purple carrots, Lisa invites you to discover the culinary magic of the Northern Colorado region. You will learn easily accessible, primarily plant-based recipes and techniques as you take pause to enjoy the visual beauty of the fruits and goodness of the Earth.
