pedestrienne

a graphic novel/vegetable cookbook. hits all of my WANT levers. the recipes look tasty and inventive, with a good balance of challenging and "I'll go home and try this compote/sauce" and the comic interludes are fun and informative, covering "why are salads $14?" to "how it ended up costing $380,000 to open a tiny restaurant and we still were cooking without gas for the first 5 months" to how to listen to the customer and when not to, and more. There are non-vegan and vegan options and advice on how to properly deep fry. I think it's the first time I've ever read through an entire cookbook.

I haven't tried any recipes. . .yet. but I have my eye on some.
