In My Kitchen – Deborah Madison
April 8, 2017 by JennyIn My Kitchen: A Collection of New and Favorite Vegetarian Recipes by Deborah Madison shares 100 innovative recipes from her vast career which not only brought vegetarian food to the center stage but also elevated it. The recipes shared are pared down to the key ingredients needed to achieve delicious, nuanced flavor, with simplified preparations.
The book is gorgeous and the recipes are tempting but Deborah really struck a chord with this passage: “Don’t apologize because you feel your food is lacking. If you do that, you just take away the pleasure of others. In my experience, this can be a hard lesson to learn, yet I feel it’s the most important one, and one I’m still learning.” I know I do this – I demand so much of myself especially when we have guests over. While cooking brings me happiness and I know I’m pretty good at it, I feel the need to apologize if I think something is a little off. As cooks we love to nurture and take care of people, there is no need to downgrade our efforts and their enjoyment with self-sabatoging remarks.
Thanks to Deborah and Ten Speed for sharing this show stopper

TO MAKE THE SALAD Tear the herbs into large pieces and keep the more salady greens larger. Toss them with salt, just enough olive oil to coat lightly, and a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar to sharpen the flavors.
