iEat Green - An Interview with Deborah Madison, Author of “Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone” and “Vegetable Literacy” - 08/07/14

I am so excited to welcome Deborah Madison, who wrote one of my favorite cookbooks back in 1997, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, and who just released a revised edition, called The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. The new edition has all of the old favorites, but has been updated to include important changes in our collective food knowledge, such as the use of coconut oil (which was considered a bad saturated fat when we both started cooking) and is now an excellent choice for oil, along with 200 additional recipes introducing many of the new ingredients we have available today. This was an exceptionally busy year for Deborah, because she also released her groundbreaking book, Vegetable Literacy. which won her the 2014 James Beard Award, and is a beautiful book celebrating the diversity of the plant kingdom, and introducing us to many different vegetables within the same family. Please join me on Thursday, as I interview Deborah and learn more about her life story and the important contributions she has made to the culinary world.
