Beautiful beaches and awesome natural beauty are big attractions in California – but with the first day of summer almost upon us, I bet the california farmers market is bursting at the seams with vegetables and fruits.

But what to do with all of that fresh, delicious produce?  I know right? It can get overwhelming, especially if you’re being adventurous at your local farmers market and pick up some ingredients that you haven’t really incorporated into recipes before.  I’ve noticed that if I don’t know what to do with something, I’m less likely to purchase it.

A great place to look for recipes and tutorials is Whisked Foodie.

This website offers great seasonal recipes (don’t miss the Fresh Strawberry Basil Cobbler with Cream) and cooking techniques, that might make it easier for you to prepare, keep and enjoy that bountiful produce your picking up on the cheap.

You’ll enjoy browsing the ingredient spotlight section, and if you’re on the lookout for some new kitchen gadgets and tools there is a whole gallery on those too.

I’m looking forward to watching the videos on the site, if you’ve ever wondered how to cut a fresh pineapple, or wanted to master the roasting of veggies, these videos will show you how – even better they’re short and to the point, you don’t have to watch 45 minutes and wait until the last 15 minutes of a show to see what the teaser was hinting at!  My daughter is very visual and since she’s going off to college soon, I think I’m going to have her watch some of them too so that she will start having some more than just basic cooking knowledge.

Check out whiskedfoodie.com it’s a neat website to visit.
