There would also be interviews with the farmers from whom I bought the food - and reviews by my family (who are very hesitant to try funny-looking veggies!)

If I were to write a cookbook, I would write about why it's important to use whole, fresh ingredients, with an entire section on food as medicine, a focus on seasonal cooking, and the importance of local, sustainable community agriculture. :) I love cookbooks (and uncookbooks!) and this book looks gorgeous.

"vegetarian cooking for everyone" is a major influence and resource for me. i'm also enjoying reading ideas. i have two cookbook ideas - 1. how geography/what is or was available/culture influences the development of recipes and cooking -with an eye towards helping the reader use their own influences and what foods are available to them to be a more intuitive and creative cook 2. recipes and activities geared towards getting kids to be involved with and understand their own food choices. this came to me while shelling fresh chickpeas with my 7 year old who was amazed at how long it took when usually we can just buy a whole bag or a can. he then got very excited and wanted to go through all the steps and people involved in making pizza - from taking care of the cows for cheese to growing the wheat and pumping the water and planting tomatoes and herbs. great interview. “vegetarian cooking for everyone” is a major influence and resource for me. i’m also enjoying reading ideas.

It would include many variations on the same ingredient so that readers wouldn't get bored eating the same thing for a week!

I would teach people to cook intuitively based upon thier food preferences. It would definitely use whole food-type ingredients and would be organized by season. Thanks for a great blog!

If I were to write a cookbook at this time it would be titled Cooking on Sundays Only. This book would provide step by step instructions on how to choose in season foods with a vegetarian focus and whip them up 7 different ways and store them in the fridge and freezer for dinner during the week. Add a chapter for lots of info and tips on canning, prep cooking, and freezing. And finally provide info on how to start a neighborhood cooking/canning club. Tricia…sign me up for a copy too!

The recipes would only include produce available during that season in that place. A recipe would not call for asparagus and tomatoes at the same time. There would also be a focus on traditional foods of the area. The idea would be to connect people to their place and their time.
