📘 About This Book

The date 11/11/11 is super special because it only happens once in our lifetime.

The new recipes include Tamari Roasted Pepitas, Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks, Apple Buckle, and Baked Bananas. Nancy, who has been teaching cooking classes for over thirty-five years and opened the first vegetarian restaurant on the island of Ibiza, also includes her cooking terms primer and glossary of kitchen equipment in this tidy volume that packs a supernatural punch. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit End Hunger Network, bringing Americans together to end hunger in the United States by 2015.
