About the author
Andrea Chesman
45 books34 followersI write cookbooks. I also edit them. I am grateful that I have found work that I enjoy.
Pickled Pantry is my newest book. I am very excited about it, and it is already generating favorable reviews.
Mostly I have written about vegetables, but I took a break from them to write 250 Treasured Country Dessertswith my co-author Fran Raboff on, which came out in 2009. The book is an update and expanded version of Mom’s Best Desserts, which was an update and expanded version of The Great American Dessert Cookbook. The collection contains everyone’s favorite home desserts—lots of cookies, brownies, layer cakes, pies, old-fashioned fruit desserts, ice cream, and more.
The New Vegetarian Grill is an updated and expanded version of an earlier book about vegetarian grilling. I’ve also written about cooking with the seasons (Recipes from the Root Cellar, Serving Up the Harvest, The Classic Zucchini Cookbook), roasting vegetables (The Roasted Vegetable), and healthy eating (366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains). Then there is also Mom’s Best Desserts, Mom’s Best One-Dish Suppers, and Mom’s Best Crowd-Pleasers, and a few more that are now out-of-print.
My work has appeared in Edible Green Mountains, Cooking Light, Vegetarian Times, Organic Gardening, Fine Cooking, Food & Wine, The New York Times, Natural Health, and several other magazines and newspapers. I was a Rcontributing editor for Vermont Life for twelve years.
Over the years I have edited hundreds of cookbooks, gardening books and others too varied to classify. I also Americanize cookbooks published in England and index books as well.
I live in an old farmhouse in Ripton, Vermont, a very small town where early and late frosts make gardening challenging. The poet Robert Frost used to rent a cottage across the street and took his meals in our house, in what we now call “the Robert Frost Memorial Dining Room.” I am married to Richard Ruane, a marvelous musician and recipe taster. Our kids, Rory and Sam, are also excellent cooks and enthusiastic recipe tasters. They have served as great inspiration for me.

Notes:
no photos but almost every recipe is actually good!! the only section I wasn't a huge fan of was salad suppers but that's just because I don't prefer to use a recipe for salads

So far I made the chili mac and it was pretty good. Really filling and full of protein (good for athletic teenager), and pretty easy (even for me, having grown up on processed food). But I think there's a typo - it says a quarter cup chili powder.. Really? I thought not. I put in what I thought, and it came out fine.

Oh, my goodness! Title is silly, but food is GOOD and easy to prepare. wholesome and tasty. Love the chicken and dumplings soup. My daughter picked that recipe and the leeks made it delicious. The Thai soup was a big hit!

NO PICTURES! How disappointing! Recipes are simple, nothing stood out as spectacular but with no pictures, there could be some hidden treasures.
