Right now I'm making a squash gratin (or gratin de courge) - steaming cubes of organic butternut squash from the Jean-Talon market. How high or low fat it will be will of course depend on what I add to the squash: no doubt extra-virgin olive oil, probably some "fake" soya-based cooking cream, perhaps a bit of grated ewe's milk cheese, and definitely some fresh sage, onions and garlic. Yum! I do find Deborah Madison's vegetarian books very user-friendly, with good recipes.

Jess got me the restaurant cookbook from Au Peid de Cochon, where we ate for my birthday last year. (quite a memorable meal!) I think in a lot of ways my cookbook is the opposite of your cookbook. Its receipes are pretty impractical because they call for some really hard to find ingredients and it is very, very meat centric. It is really well illustrated and designed though. My favorite cookbook to flip through right now. I'm gonna have to take a trip to the Strip district to find enough ingredients to make some dishes from it.... I just got a new cookbook too!
