Well, that would be me, Susie Middleton. Cook, gardener, writer, editor. Sometime photographer, former small farmer. All around happy girl. Author of four cookbooks, writer of essays<\/a>, developer of many, many, many vegetable recipes. Year-round Martha’s Vineyard resident since 2009. Celebrating 16 years of sobriety in 2022, to which nothing else can hold a candle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time, I was chief editor of Fine Cooking<\/i> magazine<\/a>. Now I work for the wonderful Vineyard Gazette Media Group as special projects editor, doing all the fun things, including editing a very cool cooking website called cookthevineyard.com<\/a>. (Subscribe to the free weekly newsletter<\/a> here.) I also write about cooking, gardening, and life on Martha’s Vineyard for both our 175-year old newspaper, the Vineyard Gazette<\/a>, and our award-winning Martha’s Vineyard magazine<\/a>. Yay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am obsessed with vegetables. In love with flowers. I had a small farm and operated a daily farm stand here on the Island for nine years; now I’m all-in on home gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days I’m most interested in joy and serenity \u2014 the peace my busy mind gets from cooking and gardening, the pleasure I get from the colors and textures and flavors of vegetables and flowers. And everything in between the kitchen and the garden. I like to share that feeling, hoping it might help someone else find joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as an aside, I think you should buy one of my books so that I can write another –ha! Seriously, you won’t regret it. Fast, Fresh & Green<\/em> <\/a>(Chronicle Books, 2010) was an NPR Top Ten Summer pick in 2010, as was its successor, The Fresh and Green Table<\/em> <\/a>(Chronicle Books, 2012). And guess what, the next one, Fresh From the Farm: A Year of Recipes and Stories<\/em><\/a><\/em> (Taunton Books 2014) was on that very cool NPR Concierge Top 100 Books of the Year in 2014<\/a>! But Simple Green Suppers: A Fresh Strategy For One-Dish Vegetarian Meals<\/a> (Roost Books, 2017) might even be my favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
