I'll start with the wonderful and out-of-print The Yogi Cookbook by Yogi Vithaldas & Susan Roberts. Philosophy and cooking.
Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe was important to me in the late 60s.
The Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas - and she was a filmmaker too!
Keep it...
The Joy of Cooking and Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I'm delighted that "Julie and Julia" has boosted sales of the latter. It really does teach you to cook.
I emailed Gelsons and they got back to me and after a few weeks Fordhook Lima Beans - frozen from Picsweet -- were there in the Silver Lake Gelson's. They may be in the Franklin Gelson's too. We ate them tonight and they were delicious.
