Episode 12: Three great books: Vegetarian Salads, Animals and Hats!
What we discussed:
"Books are a uniquely portable magic."
--Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
In this episode, Bootie and Bossy have three book recommendations. First, we discuss the cookbook Community by Hetty McKinnon. Bossy first discovered the cookbook while listening to this episode of the Milk street Podcast. Hetty approaches salads like a good novel: with tantalizing characters and delicious plot twists. She has excellent advice for what to put in your larder so that you're ready when 5PM rolls around to put together something nutritious and satisfying. In fact, it's so satisfying that you might not even mind that it's vegetarian! Next, we discuss Knitted Animal Friends by Louise Crowther. Bossy gave this book to Bootie for her birthday after seeing it in the Black Purls yarn shop in Sandwich, MA. And we got to see one of the animals in person at All Wound Up yarn store in Edmonds (see the video below for a tour of the store). Finally, we discuss the book Knitting the National Parks by Nancy Bates. All Wound Up features kits for these wonderful park inspired hats.
About the Recipe:
We highly recommend the cookbook Community by Hetty McKinnon. Bossy first discovered the cookbook while listening to this episode of the Milk street Podcast. Hetty approaches salads like a good novel: with tantalizing characters and delicious plot twists. She has excellent advice for what to put in your larder so that you're ready when 5PM rolls around to put together something nutritious and satisfying. In fact, it's so satisfying that you might not even mind that it's vegetarian! Bootie and Bossy love the Roasted Cabbage with lentils and pumpkin seed brown butter. The Sweet Sesame broccoli with edamame and quinoa has become a staple at Bootie's.
Whatever you do, don't knit like my sister!!
