Cookbooks

[KnottedYet]

I just bought "Veganomicon" by Moscowitz and Romero. http://www.theppk.com/books/veganomi...egan-cookbook/

How could I resist a cookbook with a title like that?!?!?!?

I'm not a vegan nor a vegetarian. I relish red meat, and work hard (and pay big $$) to ensure I get red meat from dead cattle that had a decent grass-fed life up until they were pole-axed. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to get meat from cattle whose names I know and who frolicked in the pastures of the farm next door to my mom's.

If I don't get red meat on a regular basis, my body goes to heck. (for those of you who follow the blood type and the cave man diets, yes... I have O type blood, and yes... I have celiac disease)

Love me my vegan foods, too. Oh, my, is there anything more toothsome than fried tempeh that was marinated for 2 days in soy sauce and sesame oil and garlic, with fresh nekkid steamed broccoli?

sigh...

Anyway, this cookbook is a hoot. Snarky and clever Generation X version of the Moosewood. All the basics you need, all the extravagance you yearn for on special occasions. Luscious.

It has sample menus, which I really appreciate. I will happily eat the same dang thing for DAYS, so a sample menu helps to get me out of my rut.

There is "how to" stuff, like "How To Cook A Bean," "How To Cook A Grain," "How To Cook A Vegetable," and such. I appreciate that kind of information.

There is a passel of entree pictures in the center, in all their food-porn glory. Beware...

I'm working on building up my cookbook collection. What cookbooks do you all recommend?
