GET THE BOOK

“A great cookbook tells a story, about food—where it comes from, how to use it and what to make with it. Authors Elisa Spungen Bildner and Robert Bildner take it one step further in The Berkshires Farm Table Cookbook, bringing readers the stories of the farmers who work and live in the region.”
