We had a fabulous 3 day getaway with our family at Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Area. My daughter-in-law's parents, Kim and Dana, have a lodge on a nearby river complete with hot tub that they invited to use. We all had a great time doing downhill, cross country, Hot tubing, cooking and eating.

Kim helped me by cooking up 3 more excellent recipes:
1. Pasta with Chick Peas and Spinach, pg 121, rated V+. Kim used an excellent, new vegan, mozzerella type cheese made with almond milk. It melted just like the real deal and tasted great. This dish is perfect for a crowd as it serves 8.
2. Asparagus Salad with Fava Bean Sauce, pg 14, rated V++. We served this with the above pasta dish and it was a delighful surprise. As happens so often with Bill's recipes, I find myself wondering "Is this really going to taste good?....it sounds so peculiar." And then you taste it.... and wham-oo! Its incredible!".....and nutritious at the same time.
3. Avocado Chowder, pg15, Rated V++. This was another delightful surprise. How would a cold chowder made with only vegetables taste? The answer: fantastic!
This would be a wonderful first course for a summer meal, served in small individual bowls and garnished with a sprig of mint. I guarantee you that you have never tasted anything like it. And that is what is so exciting about this cookbook!
Its like a treasure hunt!
All recipes will be cooked by tomorrow but I will keep the reviews in small doses so nothing gets lost in the shuffle................
