Cookbooks to Get You Started, February 2012

Heads up veggie-lovers --- looking for a way to add a little pizzazz to your next dish? Try something from THE TIPSY VEGAN cookbook. Poor veggies get a bad rap: everyone knows we should all be eating them, but rarely does a salad rank high on anyone’s list of exciting meals. Well, that's all about to change. Veggies get a special kick in this cookbook in which every recipe calls for a little bit of booze. We are willing to bet even your teetotalling friends will be calling you up for more "Rummy Hummus" and "Bad-Ass Beer Cake."
