Microplane zester

Microplane

Microplane - product reviewOne of my favorite kitchen tools - and certainly one of the least expensive - is my Microplane. This zester/grater makes easy work of, well, zesting and grating, and I can't even remember what I used to use instead.

You Won't Believe It's Vegan cookbook

You Won’t Believe It’s Vegan!

The recipes in this book are pretty easy for the most part, so this is a great option for those new to cooking, especially vegan cooking. But I'm not a big fan of exclamatory cookbook titles, and in the case of You Won't Believe It's Vegan!, it's even a bit misleading.
Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone cookbook

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

Originally published in 1997 and updated for a 10th anniversary edition, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone has long been one of my favorite cookbooks. Deborah Madison cooked at Chez Panisse before founding Greens in 1979, a landmark restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though she is not a vegetarian, Deborah Madison knows good food, knows how to cook it, and, most importantly, knows how to teach others to do the same.
Vegetables Every Day cookbook

Vegetables Every Day

Though packed with information and recipes for dozens of different vegetables, Jack Bishop's Vegetables Every Day is not quite vegetarian. Fortunately, that doesn't prevent it from being an excellent source of meatless meals and inspiration.
