Cookbook Roundup – Super Natural Cooking

Posted on Mar 3, 2010 in Blog | 2 comments I’m the kind of food nerd that checks out other people’s cookbooks when I go to their house… I just can’t help it. I can usually get a good sense of a person by the kinds of cookbooks they have, if any, and if I’m lucky, I’ll stumble across some new books to fill my shelves. Such was the case this past Christmas when I was visiting my brother and sister-in-law,...

Cookbook Roundup: Greens Glorious Greens!

Posted on Feb 15, 2010 in Blog | 0 comments I love, love, LOVE this book!

Posted on Feb 3, 2010 in Blog | 0 comments This book is technically not mine… I borrowed it from a friend and then she moved away -sorry Jenny! But it’s in good hands, and is, of all my vegan cookbooks, the one used most often. It’s recipes are simple and don’t try to smother you with weird recipes using hard to find, whacky ingredients like some vegan cookbooks do. This book is a behemoth, clocking in at 555...

Cookbook Roundup – Local Flavors by Deborah Madison

Posted on Feb 1, 2010 in Blog | 1 comment A short discussion of some of my favorite and oft used cookbooks! I have accumulated a collection of 60-odd cookbooks, as well as probably hundreds of recipes torn from magazines, photocopied out of books, or scribbled on scrap paper, and another few hundred bookmarked on my computer.  A solid 90% of them I’ve never actually made, and likely never will, but still, I keep on collecting. I...
