Searching for new recipes and wonderful new, healthy cookbooks!
Friday, July 9, 2010 at 10:10AM I'm always searching for new recipes and wonderful new, healthy cookbooks! Even with summer's heat, cooking dinner every night for my family is a ritual I love. Starting at 4:00 each afternoon, I tie my hair back, wash my hands, and start pulling out fresh ingredients. Even better, our garden is providing some of our vegetables now, currently pea pods, herbs, and lettuce lettuce lettuce! My kids are thrilled to go out and pick while dinner preparations are beginning.
I thought I'd share a couple of the new cookbooks we've been using lately. I've really been loving Super Natural Cooking by Heidi Swanson. This enticing vegetarian cookbook is by popular photographer, traveller, and blogger of 101cookbooks.com. Based on vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, this book introduces ethnic flavors that are easy to create. She inspires you to include more color into your diet, and more variety. The Seed Crusted Amaranth Biscuits are moist and satisfying, the Otsu (a Japanese noodle and tofu dish) is fresh and light, and we've really loved Agua de Jamaica with hibiscus and lime. There's so many more recipes I'd like to try... Baked Purple Hedgehog Potatoes, Lentil Crostini with Chevre, and Sprouted Garbanzo Burgers. She also encourages you to nix the white sugar in favor of more healthy replacements. Peach Nectar Iced Tea anyone?
Another new cookbook with super tasty ideas (for kids, too!) is Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole Grain Flours by Kim Boyce. Beautifully photographed, this oversize book is filled with sweet and savory recipes that include many healthy grains that are often little used: teff, amaranth, quinoa, kamut, and buckwheat flours.. along with whole wheat, corn, and oat. I love the variety of this book. Many of the rustic recipes are involved and some of the techniques particular, Kim Boyce being a trained French pastry chef. But they are also delicious! Our favorites (so far) are the Rhubarb Tarts and Muscovado Sugar Cake. There are hundreds more to try, making this book very worthy of the space it takes up on your shelf. Next we want to try the Soft Rye Pretzels.This summer, I'm heading toward the vegan direction. Exploring vegan cookbooks is going to be my next endeavor... All this cooking has made me wonder, what are your favorite cookbooks? We'd love to hear from you!
