One of the book mentioned in the last list Debby sent was "America's Test Kitchen's Healthy Family Cookbook." While it does not focus on use of the foods you mention, it does contain many useful pieces of information, tests of devices and equipment for the home cook, and the best recipes I've ever found. Does it go over the same ground as other cookbooks for centuries? Yes. Is everything in the book local, grass-fed and green? No, although as a fan I do know the Kitchen staff worked hard to make it as healthy as possible.
One reason for fewer books in the tradition you mention is that they do not fit into the lifestyles of 95% (or so) of American cooks. That doesn't mean, however, that they have no place on Bookshare. Suggest a few, or submit them yourself. The wonderful thing about Bookshare is that everyone and everyone's work has a place here!
And Debby, I have the book mentioned above. It is full of pictures, sidebars, how-to notes, etc., and I think it would be a nearly impossible scan, but I'd love to try it sometime. I'm a dietitian and a fan of America's Test Kitchen. Having tasted quite a few of the America's Test Kitchen recipes, I can say this book would be worth the trouble!
since I thought it was an interesting thread.
