When Gesine Bullock-Prado left her Hollywood life in 2004 and moved to Vermont, she fell in love with the Green Mountain State's flavours and six unique seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter all claim their place at this table, but a true Vermonter holds extra space for maple-forward mud season-that time of year before spring when thawing ice makes way for mucky roads-and stick season, a notable period of bare trees and gourds galore prior to winter.
In My Vermont Table, Bullock-Prado takes readers on a sweet and savoury journey through each of these special seasons. Recipes like Blackberry Cornmeal Cake, Vermont Cheddar Soup, Shaved Asparagus Toasts and Maple Pulled Pork Sliders utilise local produce, dairy, wine and flour. And quintessential Vermont flavours are updated with ingredients and spices from Bullock-Prado's own backyard. With stunning photography, Vermonters and visitors alike will revel in a seat at this table.
