What to do while waiting for your tires to be changed at Costco? Go shopping!
Saw this cookbook, Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi, on the book tables between the frozen food and the heat lamps and you know what? The suggested retail price is $35. During the holidays I saw it on a website - I think it was anthropologie - for $50. But Costco, good old thrifty Costco, is selling the book for $21.99.
And it's a good thing Costco offered this cookbook at such a low price because even though it looks very tasty and seems to be the hot cookbook around, I would not pay $50 for a vegetarian book. That's just me.
Apparently the author is of a similar (but not the same) hue; he is an omnivorous food journalist and restaurant vet who decided to put all of his veggie recipes in one place and create a book that celebrates vegetables (and some fruits, too.) He recognizes that there are many different types of vegetarians, from those who cannot stand meat and beyond to those who choose a vegetarian or mainly vegetarian diet for health or ecological reasons. Very nice introduction to a very beautiful book.
I already found a few recipes I can't wait to try... here, Saffron tagliatelle with spiced butter!
Saffron and pine nuts? Say no more!
