Cook the Book: Do-It-Yourself Power Bars
In early 2003, Heidi Swanson, an enthusiastic cookbook consumer, made a resolution: "When you own over 100 cookbooks, it is time to stop buying, and start cooking." From that resolution sprang a food blog—one of the earliest, in fact—called 101cookbooks.
Insightful and beautifully designed, 101cookbooks became one of the most popular food blogs out there and, eventually, brought things full circle for Swanson: In 2004, she became a cookbook author herself with Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen.
Swanson's latest book, Super Natural Cooking, was released recently, and we're proud to highlight it in this week's Cook the Book feature. Today's recipe, for DIY power bars, follows.
