The Best NC Chef for Fall dishes

The Best NC Chef for Fall dishes

For Andrea Reusing—an award-winning chef, a leader in the sustainable agriculture movement, and a working mother—”cooking in the moment” simply means focusing on one meal at a time. Tender spring broccoli given a smoky char on the grill, a summer berry pudding with cold cream, or a cider-braised pork shoulder served with pan-fried apples on a frosty night—cooking and eating this way allows food in season to become the foundation of a full life. Cooking in the Moment is a rich, absorbing journey through a year in Reusing’s home kitchen as she cooks for family and friends using ingredients grown nearby.
