Mastering The Art of Vegetarian Cooking
http://cookingveg.wordpress.com
I'm cooking my way through my favorite vegetarian cookbook, by Deborah Madison: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I'm shooting for about a year for all 1400 recipes, and I blog about the dishes, about my family's (husband and kids 10, 8, and 6) reactions, and about the general challenges involved in the task.

Day 32: Portobello Stew, Polenta, Braised Radishes, and a near tragedy
This was a good meal, but not really worth burning our house down for. I did something stupid; I put a pot of 8 quarts of water on the stove before I left to get the kids, thinking I’d heat it until I left, then turn it off. Except I forgot the...
Day 31: Navy Bean & Pasta Gratin, Brussels Sprouts with Mustard Butter, Cooked Carrot Salad
Every menu is a puzzle. From the very first one I put together, I consider not only how the recipes go together, how to balance starches, green vegetables, other vegetables, but also I have to try to cook something for everyone. Jon hates mustard, so...
