I discovered this little book killing time hunkered down in the Madison Square Garden Borders waiting for a bus. It's a terrific little primer for anyone wanting to delve more deeply into a plant-based diet. The recipes are fun and simple (think college kids in dorms or sparsely outfitted apartment kitchens) but inventive at the same time. I recently taught a cooking class preparing this Indonesian Tempeh Stew and my class was astonished at the complex blend of flavors and textures - and even more astonished that they had tried tempeh and loved it! I like to dice the tempeh and veggies pretty small for this stew - smaller than indicated in the directions - because its almost more like a chili that way. I have 6-year old twins; my son is a budding vegan and eats just about anything I put in front of him; my daughter is more "particular" so I consider her my litmus test on new dishes. She adores this one over brown rice. Ya gotta try it.
