Uncommonly Good: Stories of Food, Life and the Birth of Good Commons
By Tesha Buss and Matthew Wexler
Broadway dancer Tesha Buss was ready for a change. But little did she know that when she stumbled across a dilapidated country home in southern Vermont, it would set into motion a recipe for all things good—including a renewed friendship with culinary partner-in-crime, Matthew Wexler.
Tesha renovated the property, named it Good Commons and thoughtfully created one of Vermont’s most coveted retreat centers, thanks to the pair’s unique culinary vision that merged farm-to-table ingredients with global inspiration.
Part memoir, part practical recipes for the home cook, Uncommonly Good is seasoned with humorous and poignant stories that reflect the trials and tribulations of two creatives on a mission to fulfill their dreams (and bellies) without compromise.
Filled with more than 75 recipes, "Uncommonly Good" will quickly become a standby for innovative dishes ranging from flavorful snacks to show-stopping entrees. More than just a cookbook or resource guide, this food memoir touches the hearts of all those who dare to pursue their dreams without compromise.
“Both authors are delightful to read in this book that narrates the birth of a successful business and the “marriage” that a good business partnership is....I found this book inspiring, not only making me want to be better in the kitchen, but also to be a better human by pursuing my dreams more actively.”
