Product Description |
For more than a decade, Foster’s Markets have been cooking and baking foods made fresh each day from ingredients picked locally at the peak of flavor. Now Sara Foster shares more than two hundred delicious recipes, providing modern takes on favorite home-style classics.
The Foster’s Market Cookbook features old-fashioned ideas about how good food should taste and new-fashioned ideas about prep times and the use of high-quality prepared ingredients. Filled with eighty color photos, this is the perfect cookbook to refer to over and over again for everyday meals or for entertaining, whether it be for two or for twenty.
Before moving to Durham, North Carolina, Sara worked alongside Martha Stewart in the kitchen of Martha’s catering business. When she opened her own catering company, Sara kept her food simple yet soulful, trusting the complex flavors of seasonal ingredients. This same basic principle guides the daily offerings at Foster’s Markets in Durham and Chapel Hill. Each week the markets serve nearly a thousand customers hungrily searching out Sara’s innovative, new-style home cooking. And now food lovers everywhere will be able to prepare with ease sumptuous dishes such as Roasted Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Arugula Salad; Herb-Grilled Salmon with Fresh Tomato-Orange Chutney; and Risotto Cakes with Roasted Tomatoes and Foster’s Arugula Pesto. Also featured are a host of wonderful desserts, such as Lemon Chess Pie with Sour Cherries and Chocolate Espresso Layer Cake with Mocha Latte Frosting.
Featuring mouthwatering favorites from the market and dozens of helpful sidebars that discuss ingredients, techniques, and make-ahead tips, The Foster’s Market Cookbook provides all you need to know to make the most of every season’s finest offerings. |

Since 1990, Sara Foster has been delighting the patrons of her two North Carolina gourmet takeout food stores with refined yet unpretentious fare that reflects her Southern upbringing and years as a professional cook on the East Coast. The Foster's Market Cookbook, penned with food writer Sarah Belk King, collects dozens of Foster's most popular recipes, beloved for their use of high-quality seasonal ingredients and rich, imaginative flavor combinations. As with Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Cookbook and myriad tomes by Martha Stewart (for whom Foster worked in the 1980s), Foster's debut provides both advanced and fledgling home cooks with impeccably tasteful dinner-party menu ideas and creative weekday meals. Starting the book as you might your morning, Foster offers tantalizing breakfast possibilities such as Sticky Orange-Coconut Pinwheels and traditional-with-a-twist brunch dishes such as Mushroom-Risotto Hash with Fried Eggs and Grilled Ham. Next come more than 15 soul-warming soups, stews, and chilies (Corn and Roasted Red Pepper Chowder is just one of many must-make entries); sandwiches and snacks; salads and sides; entrées; and desserts. Main-dish highlights include Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Prosciutto and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (they're so good and so easy to make!), Grilled Eggplant Parmesan with Fresh Mozzarella and Zesty Tomato Sauce, and Pan-Seared Sea Scallops with Tom Thumb Tomatoes and Foster's Pesto (a perfect quick spring meal). The desserts are divine, including chic confections such as Four-Layer Blueberry Gingerbread Cake with Mocha Cream, a collaboration with Durham pastry chef Kathy Edwards, as well as old-fashioned treats like strawberry shortcake and pecan pie (nicely jazzed with bourbon). Throughout, sidebars and tips on techniques give cooks additional opportunity to learn from Foster's fine food sensibility. For connoisseurs of simple yet sophisticated cuisine, The Foster's Market Cookbook truly titillates. --Rebecca Robinson |

Love these recipes! |

Love the recipes in this book! The hummus is a family favorite...and I love that they are easy to "tweak" if I'm short on a particular ingredient, or if it calls for something I don't have. Pretty easy to follow for really yummy results! |

Foster's Market From Home |
Great cookbook! Every recipe I have tried has turned out perfectly and has afforded me rave reviews from my friends and family. Some of my favorites from this great resource: Old Fashioned Chicken Salad and Chocolate Chip Cookies!
This is a MUST HAVE for your cookbook library! |

Mouthwatering scones, heart-to-heart talks |
|
I am not an objective reviewer of this cookbook, because sitting in Fosters Market nibbling scones and sipping coffee kept me sane for 5 years of graduate school at Duke. My closest friendships were cemented there. There are other treasures in the region - Bill Smith's Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill was another favorite (you can find their shrimp and grits recipe on-line, and find more recipes in Seasoned in the South: Recipes from Crook's Corner and from Home). I bought Sara Foster's book for the scone recipe, and sent the book to friends. Reading the book reminds me that good food shared with good friends can bring great happiness. Thank you, Sara! |

recreating college favorites |
|
I lived right down the street from Foster's Market in Chapel Hill during college and just gave this cookbook to each of my roommates for graduation presents because we all love it so much! I eat there at least 4 times a week and now that we are all moving away we can attempt to re-create some of our favorites. The pictures in the book make your mouth water and look just like what the food in the market looks like. Some of the recipes seem a little difficult with lots of ingredients but trust me- they are worth it! Once you've mastered this one I would try her 'Fresh Every Day' cook book or 'Barefoot Contessa'. |

Just as good as Fosters! |
As a student at Duke University, my friends and I went to Fosters for brunch EVERY Sunday. The breakfast specials - pancakes, omlets, and the "special" - were always, without fail, incredible. If we made it there later in the day, the soups, breads, and salads were always a hit.
My best friend bought me this cookbook for graduation, and it was by far the best gift I received. Being able to actually make all the food we always ate at Fosters brought back all the memories of my college days. The strawberry-rhubarb crisp, hummus, blondies, and scones are among my favorie recipies to make. The pictures speak more than a thousand words and entice even the novice cooks to try out her recipies. Among my collection of cookbooks, this one is certainly the favorite.
If you are ever in Durham or Chapel Hill area, I encourage you to check out Fosters Market - truly worth the trip. |
