Veggie tales
By Ann | May 12, 2008
Bonjour, mes amies! Finally, I have finished a long and tortuous stretch of busyness during which I went to school, studied, worked, and, well, that’s it. While French class continues, I have happily finished and filed a ton of work, leaving me free to concentrate on other things like cooking and scouring used book fairs for out of print cookbooks.
And so, I am pleased to introduce a new book to be reviewed: Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I am a huge fan of Mark Bittman (love his Minimalist column in the NYT) and was thrilled to receive his newest cookbook for Christmas. And, as we know from various sources–including Michael Pollan’s new book In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto–eating well means consuming a largely plant-based diet. ( “Eat food. Not too much. Most plants,” says Pollan.) Voila, it seems like the perfect time to sample some vegetarian dishes–including one or two (or four) of his seven different recipes for veggie burgers–and I look forward to sharing the results with you!
P.S. Fans of Top Chef–don’t forget that you can read my recaps of the show on the Washingtonian’s website!
