I was taught traditional northern European style where salt and pepper was set on the table 'incase you wanted to add spice'. By the time I was eleven, I had helped one grandmother who was an avid baker of old world breads, pies and cookies, and the other grandmother had taught me the importance of a good gravy. "The Complete Italian Vegetarian" (1997) was the first cookbook that I purchased for myself and thus a new world of vegetables was opened up to me. From that ensued a year of studying food culture in Italy. I continue to mix my farm roots with ways of preparing local vegetables into flavorful side dishes. I still get my meat and veggies from the farm as often as possible, and that cookbook is still my favorite reference when I need a really good recipe.

You have a wonderful site, which I look forward to exploring more in the near future. BTW, can you give me some advice on the almond jello post on mine - looking to make it vegan-friendly, and although I was vegetarian for many years, I made a bad vegan (it's the cheese thing...) and didn't really learn the art of vegan cooking as well as I could have. Nice to e-meet you! Liza Baker Hi – found your link via my blog stats @ tangstein.wordpress.com – would love to swap links if you’re interested!

I, too, don't do food photos, but maybe one day.... There are several good vegetarian Japanese cookbooks out there. A well-thumbed copy on my shelf is by Patricia Richfield, and it's great for trying things out without feeling hugely overwhelmed. I'll be back to look around some more!

You got quite a treasure here. I too believe in going local & seasonal all the way; organic is still far too expensive in India...one day!! I prefer veggie food, though am a non-veg. Have been doing loads of veggie posts of late because am in an exploratory mood! Nice blog you have here...all the best! I got here from Ann’s at Redacted following the green beans.

I am a vegetarian and havent been able to find really good recipes thus far. Now, I know where to look. You have done an amazing job of all the recipes and I am quite comfortable with the format - you know - makes it a lot easier when am actually in the kitchen. Although, there are some ingredients which I dont get here in India (or they are way too expensive), I think your recipes leave a lot of scope for improvements - by adding / deleting ingredients - which makes life simpler for me. Way to go girl ! It would be nice if you can tell / email me your name (tried looking around in your site, but no mention anywhere) Chanced on this website when I was browsing for some interesting recipes.
