It is that time again…a new month, a new giveaway! Congratulations to Julianne for winning December’s giveaway book selection One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp…a great inspiration book to start your new year!
Now, for this month…the last time I offered a cookbook selection, there was a great response – so, I thought I would offer a really magnificent cookbook selection for the start of 2014!
I chose the book Vedge by Rich Landau & Kate Jacoby. The authors are the award-winning chef/owners of Vedge restaurant in Philadelphia. I was very excited when I discovered this book was being released since I am such a fan of the restaurant.
The most amazing thing about this restaurant is that you don’t have to be a vegetarian to love it! Yes, it is true that Landau has been in the forefront of vegetarian dining since 1994, but don’t let the name of his restaurant fool you…the food is superb by any standard – meat eaters are certain to be just as impressed as vegetarians with his outstanding creations.
The restaurant Vedge in Philadelphia, housed in an elegant nineteenth-century townhouse, where chef-proprietors Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby serve amazingly flavorful and ingenious vegetable dishes.
Vedge opened in 2011 to rave reviews and I understood why after my first visit…what an awesome place! You may not live near Philadelphia and have the chance to visit Vedge, but this new cookbook gives you the opportunity to recreate some of the restaurant’s selections in your own kitchen.
Just leave me a comment to be entered for a chance to win this wonderful cookbook offering recipes for 100 plates – large and small – that redefine vegetable cooking!
Good luck!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
