Editorial Praise

Below you will find a sampling of what has been written about Tracey's six cookbooks.  

The Art of Cooking with Cannabis has been awarded an Honorable Mention for the 2021 People’s Choice Cookbook of the Year by The Readable Feast.

For: The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook, 10th Anniversary Edition

“Tracey Medeiros’ 10th anniversary edition of The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook is notable for its enduring recipes, beautiful design and photography. Most importantly, it stands as testament to the strength of the food chain when supported, the enduring legacy of the farmer, the family farm, the rootsy foods that are the backbone of our culture and the needs for more of what’s represented in the table of contents. This classic should be cooked from in your kitchen.” - Andrew Zimmern, Emmy- and four-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality and chef

“What a pleasure to see the pictures and read the stories of these farms — some I know well, and other I’ve just driven past. They’re our glory in Vermont — and with these recipes it’s a glory that can easily be shared.” —Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and founder of 350.org

For: The Art of Cooking with Cannabis

“The Art of Cooking with Cannabis is a highly recommended culinary resource for both professional chefs and food enthusiasts. As an advocate for responsible cannabis cookery, I’m impressed by how Tracey Medeiros has curated this collection of inspired recipes from cocktails to desserts, and every course in between! She has shined the spotlight on many talented chefs from across the country as she shares their imaginative infused recipes and expert tips. Whether new to cooking with THC, CBD, and Hemp, or already well-seasoned in the methodology, you’ll love this book!” —Jacqui Pressinger, American Culinary Federation, Inc.

“A comprehensive and delicious look at the endless possibilities of the cannabis kitchen, The Art of Cooking with Cannabis brings together the farm-to-table movement and cannabis in a new and unique way. Jam-packed with chef-created recipes featuring cannabis and hemp in a wide variety of techniques and dishes, The Art of Cooking with Cannabis makes cooking with this star ingredient simple and versatile. From desserts to dressing and everything in between, each recipe would be delicious with or without cannabis.

But what really sets this cookbook apart from the pack is Mederios’s detailed storytelling that examines each recipe’s inspiration and tells each chef’s story, while connecting them to the farmers behind the food. In this way, Mederios brings the farm-to-table movement to cannabis, and by breaking the book into regional sections, the reader can see local ingredients, flavors, and trends emerge, making this book as much an anthology of food in the United States as is it culinary cannabis across the country.” —Rachel Burkons, co-founder of Altered Plates

"The 15 Best—and Most Anticipated—Cookbooks of 2021…For real connoisseurs, this is less of a whoa, weed approach to cannabis cuisine and more like a traditional cookbook your gran would keep on her bookshelf. A really cool gran. Here, you'll learn how to safely and successfully incorporate THC and CBD into everything from miso soup to meatballs, sourced from a bevy of chefs who've experimented themselves.” -Sarah Rense, Esquire Magazine

And the one brownie recipe that is a next-level-inducing s’mores brownie that packs chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows and 10 milligrams of THC into each square.” - Adam Tschorn, Los Angeles Times

From Edible Green Mountains Magazine - No. 23  2017

"...Ease into cold-weather cooking with smoky lamb Bolognese or grilled beef tenderloin accompanied by rutabaga puree, braised cabbage and horseradish cream.  Multicolored beet hash with potatoes serves as a brilliant-and healthy-centerpiece of Sunday brunch while Brussels sprouts with creamy sriracha dipping sauce will convert even purported sprouts naysayers.  The late-winter cottage pie encourages riffing with whatever ground meat and veggies linger in your winter root cellar.

Medeiros believes that a healthy diet should include organic non-GMO foods, and in all her writings, she encourages her readers to enjoy simple, wholesome meals made with locally grown ingredients.  A storyteller at heart, Medeiros has created enduring profiles of Vermont's pioneering organic farmers, chefs and culinary entrepreneurs.  These inside scoops are as delectable as the recipes themselves!" -Maria Buteux Reade, managing editor

From Hungry Enough To Eat Six - November 3, 2017

"...I made the vibrant Carrot and Spinach Slaw, a recipe from Mighty Food Farm in Shaftsbury. This farm is just a stone’s throw from my hometown of Bennington, and grows organic fruits and veggies, including heirloom varieties not available in stores. The body of this salad is carrot, spinach, and shallot: crunchy and fresh.

The vinaigrette really seals the deal on this slaw though: a sweet and tangy blend that includes soy sauce, Vermont maple syrup, turmeric, and sesame. I could feel my mouth begin to water as I tossed everything together and the aroma filled my kitchen! The recipe recommends refrigerating the slaw for a few hours before serving, but I confess to devouring my first bowl immediately. It’s a great, bright salad that I think will be particularly refreshing through the bleakest days of winter!" -Nancy Mock, blogger

"What I really love most about this stuffing — and what I think makes it stand out — is the roasted root vegetable mixture. Rutabaga, beet, carrot, onion, garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh sage are roasted with a little olive oil and honey before going into a buttered baking dish with the rest of the stuffing ingredients.

You've got everything you could possibly want in one dish here — crisp artisan bread cubes; slightly sweet roasted root vegetables; crumbled, browned sausage; creamy goat cheese; and some fresh parsley and lemon zest to really brighten things up."

From Yankee Magazine 
May 25, 2015

In their introduction to the book, Medeiros and Colasurdo write, “It’s a beautiful thing to tour one’s own state and discover a thriving green foods scene in every corner, with pick-your-own operations; rustic roadside farm stands and clam shacks; community-centered farmers’ markets in the cities and suburbs; and gorgeous farms, vineyards, and orchards.” (Having grown up in Connecticut, I have fond memories of picking blueberries, apples and peaches at nearby farms…and not-so-fond memories of working tobacco one hot summer before I was old enough to find a cushier job.)

I asked Medeiros what surprised her most while working on the book. She said, “I was pleasantly surprised to learn what a strong support system Connecticut has for the sustainable movement…a truly amazing array of farms and restaurants, many of which so very generously shared their stories and recipes, along with the passions that inspired them. Being from Vermont, I feel honored that these hard-working folks have welcomed me into their wonderful food community.”

"For me, The Connecticut Farm Table is a model to which other cookbook/travelogue hybrids should aspire. I still haven’t traveled to Vermont, and now I’m planning to add Connecticut to that road-trip back East. I may or may not get there. In the meantime, as the best travelogues do, The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook made me feel as if I’d been to Connecticut even though I never left my own reading chair, and perhaps better still, it had me tasting the food from around the state – even though I never left my own kitchen way out West.”

From Accidental locavore 
June 8, 2015

"Tracey Medeiros, the author of The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook, was kind enough to ask the Accidental Locavore to take a look at her new book. Like the previous one, The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook, it tells the story of local farmers and food purveyors along with 150 of their signature dishes. 
I was curious about the choice of state and asked Tracey why Connecticut? “The Nutmeg State is a hidden gem that has been slipping under the culinary radar for far too long. Hopefully, The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook will serve to shine a light on the state’s farmers and food producers whose dedication to sustainability, and the food community, is making it evident that hard work really does pay off. ”
"Not only do you get a broad cross-section of foods, the recipes vary greatly, from simple, easy-to-toss-together dishes, to ones requiring both time and some kitchen skills. I’ve bookmarked a few, like the raclette potatoes (my kind of dish!) to come back to when the weather is colder and ones like the pork belly stuffed tomatoes, that need to wait a month or two for peak produce."

From Leite’s CULINARIA 
June 24, 2015

"What delights me most about The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook is its splendid localness. I know and have visited a lot of the farms and restaurants featured in the book. What’s that? You don’t live in Connecticut? So you think this book holds nothing for you? Nonsense. Authors Tracey Medeiros and Christy Colasurdo have compiled 150 recipes from the state’s best and most beloved destinations. (These include our go-to farms, Maple Bank Farm and Averill Farm, and, of course, the restaurant Community Table, which we’ve been to more times than we can count.) Flip through the book and you’ll be wooed by fresh corn soup, knocked out by fennel-Parmesan fritters with a buttermilk-bacon dressing, and inspired to move to New England by Nutmegger’s lamb chops with a sauce of garlic, nutmeg, and sumac. And when you do decide to be my neighbor, I’ll bring over a basket of fresh Blackberry River scones."

"Some of you might remember me sharing a similar cookbook a couple years ago, The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook. The author, Tracey Medeiros, partnered with chefs, families, farmers and more to put together The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook. It’s packed with 150 recipes from the area’s top chefs and local farmers. “It’s a window into the world of Connecticut’s farm-to-table movement, brought to life through vivid farmer and chef profiles, local lore, and stunning photographs.
Authors Tracey Medeiros and Christy Colasurdo take you on a culinary journey from the shores of tony Greenwich, to the rolling hills of Litchfield, to the backcountry roads and quaint pastoral hamlets tucked away in the state’s Quiet Corner.”
"I love that this book is dedicated to Connecticut farmers, fishermen, cheese makers, bee keepers, foragers and food producers. These are the people who take great pains and pride in bringing the people of Connecticut fresh, wholesome and local foods. Each page introduces you to a farm, their life, what they do, how they got started and then shares a delicious recipe."
