Green lentils with wine-glazed vegetables? Debbie. The best split pea soup I've ever tasted? Debbie. How can I make this turnip taste edible? How do I cook wheat berries?

I bought this cookbook new five years ago, have been cooking from it regularly, and still find new recipes to try. Every single one has been at least satisfying, and at most mind-blowingly delicious. It's well-organized, has easy-to-follow instructions, and has sweet notes with suggestions or stories for nearly every recipe. It's the book I turn to when I have ingredients to use up or when I can't recall the basics. Well worth it-- my favorite cookbook.
