The Healthiest Vegetarian Packaged Foods of 2012
I don’t rely on packaged foods very much these days. I’m certainly not too good for a Snickers Bar or my favorite jarred pasta sauce, but I have been trying to use more and more whole foods and limiting those that are pre-packaged. I’m not so virtuous that I make my own pasta or veggie [...]
An Interview With Dirt Candy Author Amanda Cohen

The NY Times Reviews Some Great New Vegetarian Cookbooks
I’m a cookbook collector. Actually, I may need a 12-step program or at least my husband thinks it could help. I love cooking, as you know, and I’m always either glued to the Food Network or grabbing a great-looking new cookbook.
