Podcast Excerpts from our Issue Nine interview.

Photo by Kate RussellIn 1979, chef Deborah Madison founded San Francisco’s Greens vegetarian restaurant, one of the earliest restaurants with a farm-driven menu. She is the author of ten cookbooks, including Local Flavors, Cooking and Eating from Americas Farmer's Markets, which explores the joys and benefits of shopping, cooking and eating locally. Her book, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, won the Julia Child Cookbook of the Year award. Her latest book, What We Eat When We Eat Alone, departs from her cookbook format and was written with and illustrated by her husband, Patrick McFarlin. Seasonal Desserts from Orchard, Farm and Market will be out in spring 2010.

Deborah is a contributor to Gourmet, Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, Organic Gardening, Garden Design, Saveur and Orion. She was inducted into the James Beard Hall of Fame in 2006. Visit Deborah's website.
