I have 450+ cookbooks in my lifelong collection, so it might be safe to say I can be a bit jaded when it comes to cooking tomes. (Eeeeek, can we still be friends if you know I hoard cookbooks?)
Lots of them are pretty — some even supermodel gorgeous — a few of them are bibles, some act as resources; others provide inspiration if not exact recipes. Some were written by friends and colleagues, and a few are so authoritative on a single subject that they earn their spot on the shelf during tomato/lemon/panini/chocolate season. As you can tell, I might have a teensy problem getting rid of cookbooks. They are all like children…beautiful, charming, compelling and valuable in their own way.
But every once in awhile, a new book comes along that catapults immediately to favorite-child status. That is the book “Herbivoracious,” and the subtitle nearly says it all: “A flavor revolution, with 150 vibrant and original vegetarian recipes.”
Written by Michael Natkin, this is a book for all eaters, vegetarian or not. As he says, “Labels don’t matter. If you want to eat a meatless meal tonight, I want to make sure it is hearty, beautiful and absolutely delicious.”
