I am a little biased about Rose Elliot because I had people telling me how wonderful she is when I went vegetarian but I have got lots of good recipes from her.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-89745086168284224352007-08-08T08:13:00.000+10:002007-08-08T08:13:00.000+10:00You did it!

I've made the Enchanted Broccoli Forest (how could I not) and loved it. Lots of goodies here, many I've not read. I like Nigella too, but I've had such limited success that I'm afraid to open up another one of her books...Going to try and get the Rose Elliot.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524429760235996360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-20331974534357164242007-08-08T07:44:00.000+10:002007-08-08T07:44:00.000+10:00This was fun to read!

And I think there are lots of veg cookbooks that show just how when you limit one part of your diet you open up a new world of food options!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Cindy - nice to hear Ithaca sounds as lovely as I imagined! maybe you will be lucky enough to return to Ithaca sometime and visit the MoosewoodJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17057021091477704222007-08-07T15:56:00.000+10:002007-08-07T15:56:00.000+10:00An interesting list, Johanna!

I was lucky enough to spend about 8 months studying in Ithaca, NY and it really is a beautiful town, the change of the seasons is spectacular!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-25528335718947827602007-08-07T13:06:00.000+10:002007-08-07T13:06:00.000+10:00Great picks, Johanna!

I've given up red meat, and am letting the others go over time, so I'm very keen for clever, flavorful recipes that will expand rather than confine my cooking adventures. Someone else recommended Steingarten's book to me, but I'm on the fence about it. If he does indeed eat everything, then I don't think I want to know about it. Be comfortable and proud of your personal "limitations." I call them discernments and choices of which we are all entitled.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-91402588550164271142007-08-07T00:18:00.000+10:002007-08-07T00:18:00.000+10:00I love knowing what people enjoy reading almost as...I love knowing what people enjoy reading almost as much as what they enjoy eating so thanks for sharing!
