I’ve been waiting for the right time to thank Heidi for her feature of us and now it’s time. Her self-described “little book” Super Natural Cooking is nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award and she’s off to NYC for the weekend to celebrate. Yay Heidi!
In praise of Heidi
We’ve been friends (and fans) of Heidi for a long time, and she’s always doing something amazing, from chickclick through her regular posts to 101 Cookbooks to her gorgeous photographs and tasty potluck dishes, she’s a great friend, mentor, and all-around fun person to have at a party.
We thank you for your delicious dishes and encouragement that we should have a website and also a book. You rule.
In praise of Super Natural Cooking
This latest book project offers practical suggestions for gradually increasing the whole grains and healthy foods in our pantries. As a result, I’ve got a few better sugars and heartier grains with a few more to go. Of course, it is beautifully photographed and stocked with the usual array of fantastic vegetarian dishes with unique twists on standard ingredients.
I admit that I’m a carnivore and I tend to throw a small chicken breast on the Foreman as I’m making one of her recipes, but let me assure you… my little chicken is the side dish and the main dish is Sushi Rice Bowl or Risotto-style barley with arugula.
What do Pretend Soup and Trader Joe’s have in common?
They’re on our round-up of favorite Rookie Mom cookbooks over at 101 Cookbooks.
For the dirty details on why we like what we like, a montage of funny pictures, and which of us aspires to be June Cleaver, you’ll have to read the full post, but here’s a quick list of faves:
- Cooking with All Things Trader Joe’s
- Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes: A Cookbook for Preschoolers & Up
- The Best 30-minute Recipe: A Best Recipe Classic (Best Recipe Series)
