In addition to changing some things around on my blog, I wanted to add a cookbook of the month! The cookbook I choose will give you all a chance to cook along with me.
So without further or due, the cookbook for April & May is Jose Andres Vegetables Unleashed!
First, I'm obsessed with Chef Jose! What he has done by starting his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, which helps provide meals in the wake of natural disasters , is extraordinary!
Also, I thought it was very timely considering how much he has and is doing for this global pandemic. His nonprofit was on of the first, if not the first, to jump into action when this outbreak started. He hopped on a plane to San Francisco and set up field kitchens to feed the people who were stuck on the Grand Princess cruise ship. Since then, World Central Kitchen has been distributing meals to low-income neighborhoods and big cities like New York City and DC to help with the food shortages.
Recently, he was the cover of the TIMES, who wrote a special piece about him and all the work he is doing. I highly recommend you read it!!
Another reason I chose this cookbook, all about vegetables, was because it offers a lot of new inventive ways to prepare vegetables! I think it's essential, as humans, to do as much as we can for the environment, like eating less meat, and more vegetables! I understand that many of us may not have our fridges or pantries stocked, but the recipes I've chosen to do are simple and require few ingredients. I'll offer some substitutes and tips for any ingredients that you may not have!
