AC really likes to cook, and we love cooking together. My favorite cookbook is the Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters. It works for me because she doesn't just list the ingredients, number of servings, and directions. She explains how to shop for an item (from anchovies to squash to vinegar), when it is in season, and the flavor and textures you should strive for.
Knowing this AC brought home her newest book, In the Green Kitchen, and it does not dissapoint. She has asked many different chefs to submit recipes that support cooking basics- the intention is to free every cook from recipes so they always make a meal with what they have or what is in season. Dan Barber is included in the mix- he will always have a place in my heart...
We used the Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Kale recipe to make Semolina Spaghetti and Swiss chard (from the Fort Greene farmer's market). DELISH!
Some pics of the meal prep are below, taking photos of food is pretty tricky! Swiss chard belo featured in a Craven Home bowl (wink).
