One of my favorite cooks this week on Great Taste: Anna Thomas.
Anna Thomas started a cookbook revolution in 1973 when her now classic, The Vegetarian Epicure, was published. Her newest book, Vegan Vegetarian Omnivore: Dinner for Everyone at the Table, is a paradigm-shifting volume filled with over 200 recipes. The book is about hospitality. "Start with the foods that everyone eats," she writes, "design a meal that works, then expand it, make it flexible..." Personally, I think she may have hit on a real solution for world peace.
Don't forget GREAT TASTE is LIVE at Green Building Supply next week, Tuesday, May 3 with asparagus whisperer, Michael Havelka. See you there at 7:00 pm for the show and free tasting of my favorite spring vegetable.
