It's not wordy, fluffy or filled up with extras; just straightforward and honest.There aren't any full-color photos, but rather simple and effective line drawings placed throughout the book to help demonstrate techniques. I know it's hard to believe such a large book could in any way be simple, but it is. It's not more than you need to know, and certainly not less. Oh, and the recipes? Delicious; as expected.In summation, just two words: Get it.

2008-06-04 22:37:00 I'm kind of a flexitarian--eat vegetarian for weeks at a time without really noticing the absence of meat. I crumble and sautee tempeh with onion--and then add it to a black bean-chipotle chili with cumin, red pepper, several cloves of roasted garlic, and a three or four cups of diced tomatoes. I got the basic recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, and it's one of my favorite ways to use tempeh. The tempeh and chipotle combination makes it really smoky and deeply flavored.

Cooking with Anna: Involtini e Melenzane
2008-06-04 16:54:00 So we are going to go back in time a little with this post. I hope you all don’t mind the time warp this blog sometimes is! It is hard sometimes figuring out when to post what! The life of a food blogger is all about organization…and sometimes the lack thereof. Anyway, as you all know, the week before our wedding, Anna, Roberto’s mom came to stay with us. She is a food blogger and member of The Foodie Blogroll! Her blog AnnaGarau.com features recipes from her native Sardinia. It is a great blog, full of wonderful anecdotes about Sardinia as well as beautiful pictures and she is quite the chef. It is in Italian, so if you want to check it out, and I recommend that you do, use one of those handy dandy translators like this translator from Google. You can even watch a video of traditional Sardinian dancing and singing - something Sardinians are known for. When she was here at our house, she was updating that post and we were having such a good time. I was really ...

Herbal Abundance: What to do with a plethora of herbs?
2008-06-02 17:40:00 Summer is here and with it comes a fresh plethora of herbs! If you are like me, sometimes you get really excited about that and can’t help but scoop up big bunches of fresh herbs when you see them at the Farmers Markets or the grocery store. Then you end up throwing half of them away after they have sat rotting in your fridge for days on end…well that is just no good. Herbs are a wonderful way to get more greens into your diet and many of them also have other health properties - not to mention they improve the smell of ones breath! So what does one do with an over abundance of herbs? On a recent trip to the Farmers Market I procured rather large bunches of Arugala, Basil, Mint and Dill. I brought them home, filled up some vases with water, stuck the herbs in the vases and put them promptly into the fridge to use whenever the mood took me. Then, said herbs, sat all pretty in my fridge for about 2 weeks. I had barely touched them. They were still looking pretty good, but ...

Vegetarian Nutrition - Joan Sabate
2008-05-27 15:09:00 Vegetarian Nutrition - Joan Sabate Vegetarian Nutrition - Joan Sabate* From antiquity, vegetarian diets have been followed for a variety of reasons, albeit with widely differing nutritional outcomes. As a result, numerous scientific and professional questions have arisen. Currently, professional interest in vegetarian nutrition has reached unprecedented levels. This is only partly explained by the growing number of vegetarians and the increased popularity of vegetarian diets. As disease patterns shifted away from nutrient deficiencies and toward diet-related chronic diseases, vegetarian nutrition research also changed emphasis, and the benefits of vegetarian diets have begun to emerge.* As a practice, vegetarianism dates to quite early times in Western society, at least to Pythagoras, the Greek natural philosopher of the 6th century BC, who founded a religious community in southern Italy in which vegetarianism is supposed to have been part of the rule of life.Pythagoras’ rejec...

2008-05-25 00:00:00 Like last year Abby from eat the right stuff encourages food bloggers to share their favourite vegetarian recipes for vegetables, beautiful vegetables. I am not a convinced vegetarian, but I love to cook something without meat. I have to admit until today I always used pearl barley for the Whole-Grain Barley Bread With Barley Grits, I never cooked with it. Barley is rich in minerals, including calcium, iron and potassium. It's also a good source B vitamins, especially B3 and B6. Both are important for energy, healthy and red blood cells and the functioning of the nervous system. Pearl barley cooks in a similar way to risotto rice. Like last year I partake this event with a green dish, this time Creamy pea & chive risotto You know it's spring, if you eat green dishes and can use your chive from the garden.

Movie Night: A New Tradition - Recipes: Olive Cheese Balls, Lentil Koftas,
2008-05-12 16:05:00 I am all about tradition. Even as a young child, I always enjoyed re-occuring events based on a date, an event, or time. I don’t know what it is about me that just loves a good ritualistic event. Maybe it’s the food. Most likely…Now that I am an adult and getting older and recently married, I have started thinking more about traditions, what they mean to me and what kinds of traditions I want to start for my own family. When we lived in Vermont, we used to have Roberto’s girls with us every other weekend, and I loved cooking special things when they were there. Especially in anticipation of Movie Night. We would rent a movie and then make fun food, perfect for watching and eating at the same time. Recently Roberto and I decided that we really need to bring back Movie Night ? even if only for us. A time to get our jammies on and eat fun foods. We have done this three times so far and it seems to be sticking. We have prepared some really fun finger foods and m...
