Recipe Generator & Michael Pollan's new book

The New York Times recently posted a "Farmers Market Recipe Generator."

Excellent!  You select a produce item, it then gives you a method of preparation and a garnish.  The combination is sort of like the game of clue, Professor Plum, in the Conservatory, with the Wrench, but you can't go wrong in this case.  You'll always end up with a neat recipe.  I would love to see this expanded.  Anyone know of something similar out there?  A more complete ingredient list?  Seasonally /regionally adjusted lists?  Anything that makes turning fresh produce from the farm into a tasty meal easier is great in my opinion.

On this line of thought, I highly recommend Michael Pollan's new book Cooked.  He delves into the idea that we have outsourced much of our food preparation to corporations, and the result is a loss of skills, deleterious effects on our health, and unsustainable food systems.  How to fix this?  Cook at home!
Perhaps a more thorough book review will be coming along here.

Basil is looking good.  Plenty has been harvested off here so far

Time to get the garlic out!

You can't see it, but I did snap some of the scapes off.  Mostly I leave them on though.  Reports are that if you leave the scape on, the cloves won't get as big, but they store for a longer period of time.  So far, I think my experience confirms this.
