What is really neat about cooking in Columbia is the ability to get a lot of great, fresh produce! Missouri ranks number 2 in number of farms, with 66% of the state’s land being used for farmland. With that said, it is no wonder why Columbia is able to get a lot of delicious produce. Even better, there is now a Sunday farmer’s market located right in downtown Columbia. Also, every day but Monday, the Root Cellar sells products from Missouri’s diverse farmers and artisan food producers.
With all that fresh produce you can make tons of great meals! Unsure what to make or overwhelmed by the recipes available online? Come in to Mustard Seed, check out our amazing cookbooks and let us make cooking easier for you!
We carry three cookbooks, Simply in Season, Extending the Table, and More with Less all from 10 Thousand Villages.
Simply in Season celebrates local, fresh food, allowing you to better understand what crops are in season, and then shows you how to use those crops in your cooking. The cookbook is organized by seasons. In addition, the cookbook explains each vegetable, when it is in season, how to select, prepare and serve it!
