A “beautiful collection of produce-forward recipes” (Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Every Day) that “will make you want to get into the kitchen immediately” (The Daily Meal, UK).
 
Todd Porter and Diane Cu are photographers who publish the immensely popular food, gardening, and lifestyle blog White on Rice Couple. Inspired by their love of cooking, growing vegetables and over thirty-eight fruit trees in their suburban garden, Todd and Diane love sharing recipes that are fresh and seasonally simple. Their cookbook, Bountiful, offers one hundred seasonal, flavorful, and approachable recipes, ninety of which have not been posted to the blog, each featuring a vegetable or fruit as the star of the meal. Blueberry Frangipane Tarts, Wilted Mizuna Mustard Salad with Shrimp, Blood Orange Bars with a Brown Butter Crust, and Gin Cocktail with Pomegranate and Grapefruit are just a few examples of recipes that are inspired from their garden bounty. Peppered with personal stories from Todd’s childhood on a cattle ranch in Oregon and Diane’s journey from Vietnam to the United States, this cookbook shares the couples’ beautiful love story as well as their diverse recipes that reflects their love of fresh and healthy produce, seasonally ripe fruit, and sharing a home cooked meal with those you love.
 
“For so many of us, our kitchens are inextricably linked to our gardens and nobody has captured this union better than Todd Porter and Diane Cu in their perfectly named new book Bountiful.” —Russ Parsons, food editor for the Los Angeles Times

About the Author

Todd Porter and Diane Cu are professional food photographers and stylists and publish the acclaimed food, recipe, and lifestyle blog WhiteonRiceCouple.com. They are also avid gardeners, busy home cooks and encourage others to share meals with those they love. The popularity of their blog stems from their shared stories of life and food that connect us all. Beyond the blog, their professional work includes clients such as Whole Foods, Williams-Sonoma, Thermador, KitchenAid, Food & Wine Magazine, and the Cooking Channel. They are also photography instructors, teach speciality cooking classes and are sought-after speakers at industry conferences. Todd and Diane have been featured in Sunset magazine, Food & Wine Magazine, Los Angeles Times and on the Cooking Channel.  

"This book walks a direct line of inspiration from Todd and Diane's garden to a beautiful collection of produce-forward recipes. It captures the vitality of simply prepared, seasonal ingredients (whether you grow them or buy them), and their enthusiasm is infectious."
-- Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Every Day

"Brillat-Savarin famously wrote, 'Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are.' The California corollary to this would be 'Tell me what you grow and I'll tell you what you eat.' For so many of us, our kitchens are inextricably linked to our gardens and nobody has captured this union better than Todd Porter and Diane Cu in their perfectly named new book Bountiful."
-- Russ Parsons, food editor for the Los Angeles Times

"There has never been a book more aptly named than Bountiful. Bursting at the seams with lush, inviting photographs and inspired seasonal recipes, this is a cookbook you'll turn to over and over, from summer to winter and back again. The only problem, as far as I can see, is where to start: the savory butternut squash crumble, the honeydew salad with riesling and mint, or maybe the blood orange bars with a brown butter crust?"
-- Molly Wizenberg, author of A Homemade Life

5.0 out of 5 stars Bountiful: Recipes Inspired by Our Garden
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2013

Bountiful celebrates the amazing garden Diane Cu and Todd Porter tend where they live in Southern California. The book is organized by type of vegetable, fruit, herb, etc. This approach helps the home cook quickly pick the dishes to make according to what's in season. I also found it straightforward to plan meals, pairing dishes according to what I had on my counter or had picked up at the farmers market.

I've been cooking from Bountiful for the last few weeks and the food is delightful. The dishes are easy to prepare, unfussy and full of flavor. The roasted pluots are a great example -- roast them in the oven with a little brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and out come the naturally sweet flavors of late-in-the-season pluots. The thyme that's added to the pan infuses the pluots with an earthy essence that adds dimension. Deceptively simple to make, but complex in flavor.

One of our favorites is the elegant to look at, but easy-to-make Fig and Gorgonzola Pillows. My family loved the combination of savory cooked onions, salty prosciutto, luscious sweet figs and pungent gorgonzola, which sit on top of a buttery, puff pastry base. While Todd and Diane include a puff pastry recipe in the book, store-bought high-quality puff pastry works very well. The pastries are impressive to look at, and the flavors work together beautifully.

We also really enjoyed the Spinach and Bacon Salad with Avocado Vinaigrette. I made it last weekend as a side salad, but with that special dressing (it includes a tiny bit of soy sauce that really adds depth), I expect it be in rotation throughout the year. I'll add grilled chicken or salmon to make it a main rather than a side salad, too.

One sweet recipe on my short list is great example of refreshing a classic. Who doesn't love lemon bars? In Todd and Diane's case, they swapped blood oranges for lemons -- the color of the curd is beautiful -- and they replaced the traditional crust with a brown butter version. I'm keeping an eye on my favorite citrus farmer at the farmers market. As soon as he's got blood oranges to sell, I'm baking these bars.

Whether you have a garden, frequent your local farmers market, or shop at the grocery store, you'll find dishes you love and inspiration in Bountiful.

As a Chef and Food Photographer/Stylist I have throughly enjoyed this book as Todd Porter and Diane Cu have truly captured the essence of food. From the opening chapters where they share their backgrounds and how they love to inspire, cook, and bring friends together, to forming their company 'White On Rice' it is evident this couple loves food! Starting with their garden they inspire the reader to get outside and start planting a garden! Then in a wonderful way they transcend from the garden to how to prepare and cook the garden Vegetables and Fruit. If you are not hungry when you pick up this book I guarantee you will be as the photographs just pop off the pages! Make a resolution for 2016 and pick up a copy of this book and change your life!

This diary of recipes is an exquisite work of art that will far succeed your expectations for a cookbook. Todd & Diane's poetic 'love affair' with the bounty that Southern Cali brings them will keep you anticipating what's on the next page . Fool-proof recipes full of fresh veggies written with clear directions and stories that will introduce food to you in a new perspective. The herbs and leafy greens section is one of my favorite sections. I remember reading the introduction and I couldn't put it down. As a chef & food blogger I admire the WROC's respect & admiration for all things culinary. Their phenomenal aesthetic and capability to tell a story through minimal words and delicious recipes will bring out the 'food lover' in any unsuspecting reader. I look forward to following their journey and bountiful is just the beginning of bigger things to come.

We live in Baja and enjoy the local fare - however when we go visit our daughter and family we always get even better tasting "Mexican food" served in CA. With all of the work that goes into making a great dish we thought we'd surprise her and this book was part of the Christmas Gifts given. She immediately sat down and looked at the entire book and was in nothing but great big smiles making the statement "just wait until you come up the next time". Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked the way the book is divided into specific vegetable/fruit sections. I also liked the Asian influence in the recipes.
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
Living in Arizona, the growing season here is closer to Southern California than to other places in the country. I love that much of the book's categories are specific vegetables/fruits so that I can go to that section of the book instead of the more typical seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) or calendar months formats as these often have no bearing on what I have available here in Phoenix - and I do mean locally, not shipped from some remote place.

I appreciate the nod to Asia in use of the ingredients in the recipe too. It gives the recipes a nice tweak on the more typical ways of sauteing, roasting, and dressing salads, etc.

I have been using the book for only a few weeks now. I only wish it came out earlier in the year when we had the heirloom tomatoes and corn available!

I ADORE this cookbook! The photos are gorgeous and so tantalizing! I've already made several dishes, each of which came out wonderfully, and I've given it away as a much-beloved gift. Todd and Diane explain their dishes articulately and simply, making even intimidating creations, like homemade phyllo dough, easy and fun. This book inspires me not only as a cook, but as a gardener. It's a fantastic purchase, especially if you enjoy fruits and vegetables. In the opening pages, the "White on Rice Couple" share their story--such a beautiful one. The book is organized by ingredient, making it a perfect accompaniment as the seasons change and new delicacies line your farmer's market stands. Treat yourself to this fantastic book!

Diane und Todd vom Blog White on Rice Couple haben ihr erstes Kochbuch herausgebracht. Inziwschen gibt es ja richtig viele Blogger-Kochbücher und nicht jedes ist mehr richtig toll. Dieses aber ist es!

Auch wenn mir Dianes und Todds Ideen nicht immer gefallen (der sehr süße Geschmack der Amerikaner ist eben nicht mein Fall), so liebe ich doch ihre Food Fotographie. Sie ist klar, bunt, fröhlich und macht Lust auf die Zutaten und das Essen. Sehr oft gibt es auf dem Blog Einblicke in ihren tollen Garten und die Ernte daraus (sie haben sehr viele verschiedene Zitrusbäume, einfach faszinierend und schön!). Und dasselbe gilt für ihr erstes Kochbuch, nur sind die Rezepte für mich stimmiger, passender auch für uns Deutsche.

Die Rezepte sind nach Zutaten unterteilt und es gibt einfachere bis aufwendigere Rezepte. Hier ist für jeden etwas dabei. Die Fotos sind einfach der Knüller, allein deshalb ein Must have.
