Cold and flu season is such a nightmare when you've got kids bringing bugs home from school. I have many reproachful cookbooks, too, but then I move on to the next one that is fresh and hasn't made me feel guilty yet!<br /><br />Liz--Ooh, I will definitely do Julia's onion soup. And the Super Natural Cooking wheat berry salad--I noticed that one while flipping through the book. I wonder if the Bittman Kitchen Express includes that great article he did in the NYT about 100 salad--it had great ideas in it, and I remember cutting it out and putting it somewhere...<br /><br />On Heidi Swanson's blog 101 Cookbooks, I made her Roasted Pumpkin Salad and it was really good, you may want to give it a try.<br /><br />Ti--veganism makes sense to me, I'd have to make a leap to do it, though.

At the moment, I am coveting Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet as I am flirting with the idea of going vegan. <br /><br />I saw the book some time ago but after her stint on Oprah, it's got me thinking more seriously about the vegan lifestyle. <br /><br />If you want to see the video clip, you can find it here:<br /><br />http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Alicia-Silverstones-Shopping-ListTihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-19235084376642074282010-01-31T06:17:01.931-08:002010-01-31T06:17:01.931-08:00Try Julia's onion soup.

And Mark Bittman has a new book called Kitchen Express which is a collection of some of the fab quick ideas he has published in the NYT. Not really recipes but quick ideas for throwing together ingredients.<br /><br />I heard Patti Smith interviewed on NPR about the book and she sounded so normal!<br /><br />Hope you guys are all feeling better.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-18588741679777853912010-01-31T02:46:19.212-08:002010-01-31T02:46:19.212-08:00I know there are thousands of miles between us, bu...I know there are thousands of miles between us, but I swear my son just came down with that same cold, and I am just waiting for the snowball effect to begin. Sigh. I never think to read cookery books as comfort (more they reproach me with all the recipes I said I'd try and haven't), but it's a nice idea for reading on days when time or concentration are lacking. Do hope you are all feeling completely fit again soon!litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.com
