delicious revolution

my mom just bought me alice waters's the art of simple food because last time i visited her i nearly stole her copy. i guess it's kind of a douchey name, but i think actually most cook books have douchey names.

anyway, the book is amazing because it:

a.) has simples recipes (obvi) that i am into
b.) talks about buying locally and buying what's in season
c.) gives you a lot of useful lists and tips, like how to stock a pantry and different ways to cook rice.
