It's a truism that if we want to enjoy locally produced food, we have to support local farms. Maryland has been very progressive about preserving agricultural land, fighting to keep it from over-development. Al mentioned to Chef Jerry Pellegrino, one of the leading lights is Montgomery County, which is why they invited two lovely women who have written a fabulous cookbook inspired by the farms in the Montgomery Reserve. Claudia Kousoulas and Ellen Letourneau have written a cookbook called ----Bread and Beauty, A Year in Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve---- and it is self-published.
