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

I have a wonderful vegetarian baked enchillada recipe that was given to me years ago - uses sauteed vegs as the filling with a topping made from cream cheese (sorry, vegans!), your favorite salsa and silken tofu all thrown in the blender, smoothied up and then heated. Even tasty for a carnivore like me (though I'm more likely to use it as a side dish for something like pork carnitas)!

Cook the Book: 'Beard on Food'

My greatest inspiration was my mother - one of the great "traditional" Irish cooks: she could burn or boil with the best of them!

Learning to cook was a matter of survival!
