Bestselling Author and “Welcome to My Farm” Host Lisa Steele Celebrates Seasonal Cooking with New Cookbook

In Season: 125+ Sweet and Savory Recipes Celebrating Simple, Fresh Ingredients Arrives May 5th

NEW YORK, NY (May 5, 2026) — Lisa Steele, fifth-generation chicken keeper, bestselling author of The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook, and host of the American Public Television/CreateTV series Welcome to My Farm, returns with a fresh new cookbook, In Season: 125+ Sweet and Savory Recipes Celebrating Simple, Fresh Ingredients (Harper Celebrate, $35) that celebrates the best of seasonal cooking. 

Influenced by her Scandinavian roots and life on her Maine farm, in this beautiful, ingredient-forward cookbook, Lisa invites home cooks to simplify their approach to seasonal eating. Featuring 125+ recipes and vibrant photography by Tina Rupp, In Season spotlights bright produce, fresh ingredients, herbs picked at their peak, and, of course, Lisa’s signature egg recipes. Organized by traditional recipe categories (soups, salads, sides, baked eggs, desserts, beverages), each chapter is color-coded by season, making it easy to match recipes to the calendar. From peak spring vegetables to cozy winter comfort dishes, In Season highlights how cooking with seasonal produce can bring greater flavor, nutrition, and simplicity to everyday meals.

Known for her warm and welcoming approach to home cooking, Lisa brings the same friendly, reassuring voice readers know from her television series, bestselling books and popular Fresh Eggs Daily blog. In In Season, she offers a refreshingly grounded take on seasonal cooking, eschewing the preachy and pretentious in favor of simple yet elegant, fuss-free recipes that home cooks can confidently recreate in their own kitchens.  Whether cooking in the countryside or the city, In Season demonstrates how easy and satisfying it can be to build meals around what’s fresh and available.

While readers can discover some of Lisa’s signature crowd-pleasing egg dishes (from brunch bakes to deviled eggs) in its pages, In Season expands beyond eggs, highlighting how ingredients can shine when used at their peak in creative salads, comforting casseroles, elegant desserts, refreshing cocktails and Scandinavian-inspired flavors. Dishes such as Chilled Pea and Mint Soup, Three Cheese Tomato Tarts and Nectarine Panzanella Salad celebrate the bright flavors of spring and summer produce, while her Salmon Rice Bowls with Cucumber, Avocado, Frizzled Shallots, and Hot Honey Mayo offer a colorful, satisfying meal that comes together quickly. For fall and winter, the book focuses on hearty, warming dishes such as Lisa’s New England Clam Chowder, Butternut Squash Soup and brunch-worthy favorites including Monte Cristo Breakfast Bake and  Finnish Oven Pancake (Pannukakku) with Caramelized Onion and Fontina. 

Also included are elegant seasonal twists such as Honeydew and Prosciutto “Rose” Eggs, Warm Molten Lemon Soufflé Cakes and Strawberry Cardamom Cream Cheese Crepes, showcasing Lisa’s signature ability to transform simple ingredients into memorable yet approachable dishes.

Throughout the book, Lisa also shares practical kitchen wisdom drawn from years of farm cooking, gardening, chicken-keeping and classical culinary training from Le Cordon Bleu. Readers will find helpful tips and pantry advice on everything from identifying when eggs are past their prime, to preserving fresh herbs for year-round cooking, making smart ingredient substitutions, and properly storing seasonal produce to maximize flavor and longevity.

With its combination of seasonal inspiration, vibrant recipes and practical cooking advice, In Season invites readers to reconnect with the rhythms of the seasons to rediscover the pleasure of cooking with what’s fresh.In Season: 125+ Sweet and Savory Recipes Celebrating Simple, Fresh Ingredients will be available wherever books are sold and on Amazon beginning May 5, 2026.
