ABRA BERENS’S first cookbook Ruffage was nominated for a Beard Award in 2020, and spotlighted vegetables in a way attuned to their growing seasons. Its follow-up Grist focused on grains and legumes while Beren’s latest Pulp highlights the use of fruit in sweet and savory recipes. Beren’s work is predicated on introducing people to the importance of agriculture. “Food is a joyful thing, and there’s a lot of work that goes into creating that joy.”
