I have loved reading and cooking from this book. One favorite is her olive oil granola recipe. If you like granola, this is a must try. We also love the raw tuscan kale salad. I, for the first time in my life, crave kale. 

I am really liking this cookbook so far.  3 recipes made to date-all worked well and tasted great. I have been a fan of her column in the New York Times so I was eager to try the book.  It is very user friendly. Will post the recipes I tried when I have the book in front of me. 

Heidi how do you like this book overall? I have been thinking of buying it.

Well I am enjoying reading Melissa's stories, and I am going to try a recipe tonight: Pomegrante Roasted Carrots (not sure that is the correct title, but you'll find it).  Sounds really yummy, especially to someone who loves pomegranate molasses.  Heidi, I make your muhammara all the time. In fact the carrots will be a side to Heidi's orange glazed tempeh, although I am using tofu.  A little arugala salad on the side, sounds good?

Although I am a vegetarian, and In the Kitchen seems meat/fish based, I will pull many tasty sounding vegetarian options to try. 

I'll let you know how the carrots turn out.

Not a review, but... this book is selling at a bargain price on Amazon right now, for $11.  Bargain books are brand new but have some kind of mark on them indicating that they are overstocked - usually a marker line or stamp across the edges of the pages on the bottom, or something like that.  I ordered it right away - $11 is less than half of the full retail price.
