I have been dying to get Plenty for quite some time now.

A lady I knew received it as a wedding anniversary gift and we ooohed and ahhhed over it one day at coffee. These cakes sound divine!

 
I've had it checked out of the library for 3 weeks now. I'm greedy. Amazing book.

One of the first ones that kept me turning the pages just to look at all the vegetable dishes.

 
Marilyn, have you made any of the dishes? Ever notice how some cookbooks

lead you into the kitchen and others I'm content to just read? I'm worried Plenty may fall into the "read" camp.

 
That is a very interesting question Traca... I find lately I read (and enjoy) my cookbooks, but I

tend to cook off from rec: on the internet. Even my standbys that I have made numerous times, I find it easier because of my schedule to just find it, print it, vs. finding my cookbook.

And I LOVE the suggestions from eat.at

Very thought provoking question.

 
Nope...not a single one. I keep thinking I'll have all this time to cook...

and it just doesn't seem to happen. Like my culinary life being hijacked for 3 days with one measly chili recipe.

Right now I have fresh japanese eggplants, a carton of shitake mushrooms, a butternut squash, cauliflower, Swiss chard, fresh beets, cilantro, zucchini and fresh basil dying a slow death in the frig because I haven't gotten my act together.

 
This is easy & delish: marinated eggplant with capers and mint

Sliced thin and broiled, eggplant retains a slight chewiness but still melts in the mouth; a caper and mint vinaigrette brightens everything.
