I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico with my husband, daughter and two dogs (and whichever mice are currently living under the house). I like to spend time with my daughter, knit, bike, run, and tear my house apart, but not all at once.
People always ask funny questions about what they can possibly feed us when we come over for dinner, and these two books really underline my philosophy on cooking:
Vegetarian Planet, by Didi Emmons and
Passionate Vegetarian, by Crescent Dragonwagon (what a name, eh?)
Using these books is different that learning to substitute meat in your meal. It's more like learning how to cook without relying on meat - it's just relying on really good recipes. I think meat-eaters would enjoy most of the recipes in these books too - there are lots of adventurous recipes and some good everyday ones too. So there ya go.
