Congrats, Katie. Great minds think alike. You might be interested to know that I published a book titled What's Good? in June of 2021. It's a memoir of my life as a chef and restaurateur interwoven with seasonal ingredient profiles over a year shopping at Union Square farmers market. https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/whats-good_9781419747625/ or check out my website about the book https://peterhoffmancooks.com
