...was at Greens in San Francisco, nearly 20 years ago. I am not a vegetarian, and I don't care, it was still a hard meal to top even so. I've had this cookbook ever since.
Most of the food in it is pretty fancy-schmancy; it's haute vegetarian, food geared more for entertaining and impressing. But with that caveat, it's one of those cookbooks (along with Madison's other tomes) that makes you rethink what you know about food.
I don't mind that it's vegetarian. I just put bacon in it.
Edward Espe Brown makes me swoon. I don't have The Greens cookbook, but I have all of his Tassajara cookbooks including the bread book and they all make me want to be a better person. And of course a better fed person too. A week doesn't go by that I don't make something from at least one of his books.
