In July, I finally got around to reading 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura Vanderkam. It’d been on my list of books I wanted to read for a while, but I just hadn’t had the time (seriously). I wanted to read it because, at least in my perception, I have [...]
When it was posted to the Healthy Living Summit website that Dawn Jackson Blatner was going to be the keynote speaker, I got really excited. Dawn’s book, The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease, and Add Years to Your Life was one of the first books I read [...]
As you may recall, I got a new cookbook for Christmas: The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook by Kim O’Donnel . My parents bought it for me, chosen largely at random from my inappropriately long Amazon wishlist. And I am in love with this cookbook. In the 2 and a 1/2 weeks that it’s been in [...]
A couple weeks ago, I posted about my favorite recipe websites (still in love with Super Cook, by the way). Of course, the alternative to the internet is the cookbook. I don’t have a lot of cookbooks; I figure all the food blogs I read make up for it. I do like cookbooks though and [...]
Last night I had the exciting opportunity to listen to farmer and author Ben Hewitt speak. Ben is the author of The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food. After all the press the book’s been getting (see below), I was surprised he was coming to the Berkshires. I was [...]
As I mentioned on Saturday, Brian and I are pretty low-key in the V-Day department. Plus we’re on break from school this week, so our travel plans interfered with celebrating on the big day itself. So, we “celebrated” our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple last week. For my part, I offered to make [...]
I was really excited a couple months ago when I realized Mark Bittman had a new cookbook out. As frequent readers can attest, I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with Mr. Bittman. Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating had a big impact in changing the way I eat and How to Cook Everything Vegetarian is my [...]
Welcome to the newly improved Relishments…where cooking actually happens! Today will hopefully be the first of many recipes and recipe reviews to follow. In an effort to find new vegetarian recipes to try out, I picked up my husband’s (and I guess now my) copy of The Victory Garden Cookbook by Marian Morash. The book [...]
Clearly getting married and then getting settled into my new life has kept me busy, because I was totally unaware that Mark Bittman published a new cookbook early last month! (Thank goodness for Facebook!) The book, Kitchen Express: 404 Inspired Seasonal Dishes You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less, has 101 recipes for each season [...]
Posting’s been thin lately, but I have a good excuse (I think). My sister and I were on vacation in Quebec City. If you’ve never been (and we hadn’t), I highly suggest you go. We had a wonderful time shopping, going to the Musée National des Beaux Arts du Québec, walking through The National Battlefields Park, and, [...]
