'Tis that time of year when we make great plans for the year ahead. Lose weight, eat better, exercise more… You know the rest. But if I could make just one resolution it would be to plan my meals better. So often I find myself standing in front of the fridge and not knowing what to make or eat. If only I had planned ahead and had lots of veggies. I will definitely eat more vegetables. They are so versatile, not to mention healthy.
But planning ahead takes more than just a fully stocked fridge. It takes knowledge and inspiration. That's where Tamar Adler and her book, An Everlasting Meal comes in. Adler advocates cooking with all parts of your food: bones, peels and the ends of your food. Her thought provoking essays make you want to curl up with a bowl of homemade soup and remember the days when you spent hours in the kitchen. Luckily you won't need hours or a lifetime supply of food. Adler teaches you how to use those more boring of veggies like celery, onions and potatoes. Just don't be fooled, this is not a book of recipes. This is a book on cooking philosophy, if such a thing exists. Check out her videos below and prepare to fall in love like I have.
