Required Reading: The Compleat Squash

November 15, 2012

Wondering what to do with the avalanche of fall squash from your garden or the vegetable market? Amy Goldman’s book, the Compleat Squash, has the answers.

Part growing guide and part cookbook, the Compleat Squash includes seed sources, harvesting tips, and recipes. If that doesn’t grab you, the photography by Victor Schrager will. Together, Goldman and Schrager elevate the humble squash to a new level.
