Status Updates From The Complete Vegetarian Coo...

This book is worth it for the pasta section alone omgggg.

I know I was literally just complaining about this book 🤣 but there are some bombass sounding recipes in here and I might have to buy it. I got this on Libby—I have been in a weird dinner rut and that’s why I’ve been reading so many cookbooks lately—all of my cookbook holds are coming up at the same time. ANYWAY. Some of these recipes sound great. I’ve bookmarked several. Also, I need a new blender.

This reads more like a textbook than a guide and it’s very convoluted. Someone using a new ingredient will have to flip through so many pages to get from how to choose the right ingredients to how to clean it and prepare it for cooking because they’re in different sections of Vegetarian Basics. Makes no sense. Just have that be one section.

Cauliflower cakes
Sweet & spicy pickled onions
Butternut squash chili w/ quinoa
Gemelli with pesto, potatoes, and green beans
Squash ravioli w/ sage & hazelnut browned butter sauce
Steamed chinese dumplings
Mexican rice
Black rice w/ snap Peas & ginger sesame dressing
Creamy cheesy millet
Creamy parmesean polenta
Southwestern Black bean salad
Lentils rice & crispy onions
Refried pinto beans
few I want to try!

Test Kitchen is reliably delicious but this is a cookbook for rich people who own microwaves and food processors and aren't easily overwhelmed eeeep

Have I reached the point of adding a cookbook to goodreads in the hope this will make me actual use it? Yes, yes, apparently. >.<

I think I'm all set.
