Pass me the peas,
But the carrots? Not for me.
However best for me is
BROCCOLI.

(PS - I've been a good little vegetarian, please give me the book!)

Seriously Delicious Giveaway: Zingerman's Gift Certificate

Don't know the name, but there's one with bits of black truffle in it. Rather mild cheese, so the truffle comes thru. Also, love to put quince jam on soft cheese like Brie. That's a sammich!

Cook the Book: Vegetarian Suppers

Buddhist Chinese with seitan and other meat substitutes. I don't make it, but I love it. Also nachos, veg moussaka, veet and stuffing casserole...

Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' Book Giveaway

I don't know the question. I don't care what the question is. I love Bittman. I read him every week in the Times. I watch his show. I'm a vegetarian. Do the math, send me the book!
Thanks.

Mario Unclogged: A Great Meal at Seattle's Steelhead Diner

Mario, I'm glad you found some comfort at such an awful time. I'm sure I echo the thoughts of many in extending my condolences to you and your family. Your warmth, wit and talents are truly gifts to the world. May you know no further sorrow.

Help! I Flunked the AOL Regional Barbecue Test

Got 5 out of 10, but I'm a vegetarian. Can I have the Eggplant book?

Cook the Book: 'The Breakaway Cook'

Agree with the herbs comments, but if you don't have any fresh herbs in the house, keeping those frozen cubes (from Trader Joe's and probably other places) is a great backup. Cilantro, parsley, oregano are standards in my freezer, as are garlic and ginger. Pop them in sauces, guac, whatever, and you have good flavor without any shopping or chopping. Far and away better than using the (ugh) dried stuff. There are also tubes of usual and unusual ingredients to keep in the fridge, including lemongrass. I also use the cilantro and ginger flavors. Looooooooove cilantro.
PS: Put a little hoisin sauce in your leftover Chinese food to pep it up.

I love many vegetable, but I find roasted potatoes with herbs and olive oil to be a very satisying comfort food.

A veggie tray is my new chocolate. I have absolutely fallen in love with raw veggies. My favorite meal is stir-fry. I also enjoy a big salad with as many veggies as I can find depending on the season. Thanks for the contest. I would enjoy winning the prize, because it would open up a whole new world for me with veggies.
