update!

Hello friends!

It's been a while since I've updated, but now that I'm back from my 2 part month long vacation, I'm ready to get back where i belong, in the kitchen. Plus the Minneapolis Farmer's Markets are in full bloom; what better way to get back on the vegan-cooking-ball than fresh local produce.

Somethings i plan to do with this blog in the near future:

- Import recipes from my notebook recipe book
- Use more recipes, online & elsewhere.
- Use those vintage cookbooks!

If all goes according to plan (and sanity) I shall have two new recipes up by the 5th of july!... until then,

happy uhmerricka.

introducing...

the newest addition to the vegan vintage cookbook library

The Playboy Gourmet by Thomas Mario

1st edition, published 1973

447 pages of pure sexy deliciousness including a chapter on coffee. i picked this up at savers today after spotting it a few weeks ago. the introduction ends in a poetic manifesto of sorts:

"If bachelors, in the midst of women's lib yet feeling compatible with its aims, still enjoy advantages over women in the kitchen, they use these advantage not to prove they're vainglorious Escoffers among the distaff side but for the very opposite end - to draw women as well as men together warmly, to crack the same bottle, to share the same sumptuous trencher. Play Boy's major food guidelines and recipes are blueprints towards that end."

oh, playboy, what would women's lib have done without your kind gratitude for the equalization of the sexes? anyways i'm hoping this new anthology of sexy recipes will help me score with the ladies.. and men alike.
