When it was first issued, "Tassajara Cooking " became an overnight classic. Ed Brown's recipes for cooking--for learning to appreciate all the steps involved in making a meal, from selecting the ingredients to serving the finished dish--struck a chord with people who care about food and nutrition. This groundbreaking book, in a completely redesigned format, is just as timely and relevant today, more than thirty years later. Brown discusses methods for working with vegetables, grains, beans, dairy products, and fruits; cooking techniques; and suggestions for planning good tasting, nutritious meals, from soups and salads to desserts. Generously seasoned with illustrations that detail every part of the cooking process, "Tassajara Cooking " is a comprehensive guide to inspired cooking, with joy.… (more)

Vegetable Pies, , p.221, good, simple, would do well without the pie shell.

a worn copy came in with the Tassajara Bread Book; I'm not sure from an initial scan of it whether there is much original in it so will see if I use it but the styling and message is wonderfully hippy '70s. I like the seasonal organisation, and it's probably be a good intro to vegetarian cookery if this was something you hadn't tried before but I suspect I'll reach for The Greens Cookbook first....wait and see, I'll edit this if I change my mind ( )

Vegetarian vible. Essential. Fantastic. ( )
  Muzzorola | Aug 22, 2009 |
Starts with knife work and kitchen technique & divided nicely by ingredient. Almost everything lists what goes in by proportion & not by exact measures. This will annoy the precisionists and delight the casual cook. ( )

Organicly groovy! Buddhist inspired cooking from the early 70's. ( )

Epigraph
Cooking is not a mystery.
The more heart we put out
the more heart we put in.
To bring cooking alive
we give our life. Giving
our life willingly we don't
get put out.
Washing cutting cooking cleaning,
exploring ways to give life to our life.
Not knowing already how and what to do,
practice feeling it
out of what is not known
through the warmth and anxiety,
not sticking to a particular way,
insisting it is the only way
even though it is quite good;
open to feeling the various possibilities
the tentative ways of giving life to our life.

To feel out our left hand, our back, our toes,
to feel out our breathing, our movements, our stance,
this is our freedom, this is our wisdom.
The mystery is that it is possible to do
what we don't know how to do.
