Food post!

I'm starting to consider going vegetarian again. I think I just have to psyche myself into it, as well as finishing up the small amount of meat we have in the house and reminding myself of the many, many meals I used to make when we didn't eat any meat at all.

Recipes I want to try -
Banana, honey and peanut butter "ice cream"
Mary Ostyn's Maple Morning Polenta
Gingersnap Oatmeal
Pumpkin Turkey Chili (easy enough to swap veggie crumble or beans for the chili)
Light Banana Bread (love that this recipe uses real food)
Broccoli, Parmesan and Lemon

Also, must remember Post Punk Kitchen for really good-sounding vegan recipes.

Food book meme!

Please share the title(s) of your favorite food-related book(s)! Include a link if you can.

I'm looking for books that make you appreciate the wonder that is food - preparation, recipes, eating. It can be fiction, non-fiction (cookbooks, memoirs, ANYTHING that revolves around food.)

Two of mine -

Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Such incredibly descriptions of food!

The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten. Awesomely witty essays about food and cooking. Take a chance even if you're put off by Steingarten's humor on shows/interviews - he comes across very differently in writing.
