Cooking from Scratch

"Devotees of co-ops and farmers markets will appreciate the superb assortment of flavorful options as well as their relative simplicity in terms of sourcing and preparation. This is a truly delightful cookbook that focuses on whatever seasonal produce one might have on hand."
—Publishers Weekly 

"Seattle-based PCC Community Markets is the largest community-owned food market in the U.S. We love that their gorgeous new cookbook emphasizes dishes you can make with seasonal, farmer's-market finds, many of which are also plant-based."
--Health magazine


"To celebrate its 65th birthday, PCC just released “Cooking from Scratch” — 120 recipes, including those for lots of favorites from its popular deli counters. Actually, the book includes the top-three PCC deli best-sellers: the chickpea-based powerhouse known as Perfect Protein Salad (of which they sell three-quarters of a ton per week); the feel-good-while-tasting-good-too chard-and-kale Hearty Greens Caesar; and the glossy, lemony-dressed Emerald City Salad...If PCC sounds more like a person than a corporation, that’s because it’s a co-op, owned and guided by its members — shoppers like you and me, almost 60,000 of them as of last year — rather than an engine of capitalism beholden to owners, investors and shareholders....PCC’s now a dozen stores strong, the biggest community-owned food market in the land."
--The Seattle Times


"Although PCC is celebrating 65 years, the local, community-owned group of food markets has never before released a cookbook. This book, released in September, gives customers access to fan-favorite recipes from the PCC deli, such as the Emerald City and Perfect Protein salads."
--Seattle magazine


We got a sneak peek at the new cookbook "Cooking from Scratch" from PCC and love how simple and flavorsome these recipes are." --ParentMap
