Awhile back I made some Eggplant Gnocchi , a nice variation on the traditional pasta. Now that I have a potato ricer, I bet these would turn out even beter!!
Eggplant GnocchiSince then I've also tried Braised Tofu & Peas in Curried Coconut Milk, which I served over a mix of brown and wild rice. I was a little worried about this one, but I really enjoyed it!!
Braised Tofu & Peas in Curried Coconut MilkAfter purchasing some miso for that hummus-turned-soup, I also prepared some Miso Smashed Potatoes & Edamame, which was delightful. I've been meaning to throw some edamame in there, and I'm glad I finally did!
Miso Smashed Potatoes & Edamame It seems strange to call it a cookbook, as it's really so much more, but I think its a perfect addition to everyone's library! Let me know if you have any other specific questions :)
A few things before I leave...
--Check out Sabrina's recap of a Boston Blogger Meetup! Thanks to Tina for organizing!! I think everyone else has posted a recap too, so click away :)
--Don't forget to head on over to Healthy Tipping point for a RoadID giveaway--it could save your life!
--I made some notes on the Snowball recipe, as I tried out some substitutions to make them a bit healthier for Meghann's Bake Sale and they were still ever so yummy! Lisa wrote to tell me, "They are AWESOME!!!! As soon as I received the box, I had to dig in! Perfect consistency, great flavor...oh so addicting!!! They are very popular here!"

I've seen that book a lot and have heard nothing but rave reviews. I'll have to check it out net time I'm at the bookstore.
Can you come cook for me, please? I like anything with coconut!
great book review! all the recipes you've tried look delicious! :D
thanks for sharing.
I have that cookbook!! :-)
Really interesting recipe! I am going to look for this cookbook!
Thanks for the book review! I'll have to check it out over yonder at Google!
Ah! I want this book! I've heard so many good things. PS: I used the chips (finally) and made a sweet bread- will post about it tonight!
I need that book! I know that would be my go-to cookbook in the kitchen. Thanks for this post.
PS - Miso smashed edamame potatoes? Divine!
The potatoes look really good, love edamame!!
i just adore gnocchi but never thought of doing it with eggplant! what a wonderful idea!!
Thanks for reviewing this! It sounds fantastic. Are the nutrition stats in the book and are the recipe fairly healthy with mostly natural ingredients? LOVE gnocchi.
The nutrition stats are not in the book, but it's all great ingredients, so I didn't actually even think about it! ok ok, i did use light coconut milk... but that's my normal doing :)
All those meals look so yummy! I have to look into getting that book!
Mark Bittman is pretty neat- ever read his stuff in the NYT? I love the looks of that gnocchi!
All of those recipes you posted sounds fantastic!
Interesting recipes. I especially like the eggplant gnocchi.
I've looked through that book so many times at the book storer. I really think I should just buy it.
I'm not a vegetarian, but I absolutely adore vegetarian recipes. I definitely need to pick up this book.
I have picked up that book several times...it may be time to actually purchase it ;)
Id missed the eggplant gnocci.
print!
I was just looking at that book yesterday. And the recipes sound great. I'd be interested in the Eggplant dish...think I'd better get it!
I wasn't that impressed with the book when I first got it, but you've convinced me to give it another try. Maybe I just missed all these amazing recipes somehow!
I love your photo review of the book! It's such a nice way to get a feel for how you've used it in your kitchen.
I think anyone interested in healthy cooking is well-served by having a good vegetarian cooking tome. Now, since I already have one such tome, I don't know if my bookshelves can handle two, but it's nice for every cook to have some options when hitting up the bookstore.
wooow i don't know what to say about the eggplant gnocchi but...HM!!! That really is SO creative. I'm no gnocchi lover, but that is definitely super interesting to me!
I love Bittman! I would get that book but How to Cook Everything is overwhelming enough.
I have seen so many good things from this book recently, its insane. Eggplant is by far one of my holy trinity of vegetables (the other two are sweet potatoes and butternut squash)...in short I think I need to pick myself up a copy.
That sounds like an AWESOME book!! I heart gnocchi.
996 pages!!! That's a serious cookbook! LOVE the idea of eggplant gnocchi! I even have a potato ricer collecting dust in my cabinet :) I will definitely check this book out - thanks!!!
I had not thought about an eggplant gnocchi. It sounds good!
oooh, eggplant gnocchi sounds so good!!
I love anything by Mark Bittman!
I would love a potato ricer, but not sure my kitchen can stand another appliance! Your gnocchi look good!
WOWOWOWOW THOSE GNOCCHI LOOK AWESOME!!!!
The braised tofu recipe sounds great. I bet it could certainly work with chicken as well ... you know, for the hubby! Is there anything else that you would substitute/add the next go-round??
Jen- Chicken would definitely work in that dish! Perhaps I would add some other veggies if I had them around. And maybe make some naan to eat it with instead of the rice. I'm getting warm fuzzy feelings just remembering the dish, very comforting :)
As a vegetarian who is very picky, the eggplant gnocchi looks to die for.
I also made the same braised peas in coconut and had the same concerns but found them delicious as well. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed that recipe too.
