Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison was given to me long ago as a Bday present. It is my cooking bible and even 10 years later, I still look to Deborah for guidance and inspiration. A masterpiece of a book!

Tried to make this recipe and much like Kim Carlson’s post today, I also got a mushy buttery stuff. What am I doing wrong? I also don’t want to waste another pound of butter, but I love toffee too!

Just got done making these crackers and they are amazing! Crispy and very flavorful. I used tarragon and thyme for the herbs and sesame and poppy seeds. Course salt too. Highly recommend them, plus they were a joy to make!

At first I wasn’t crazy about these cookies. I anticipated a chewy buttery chocolate chip cookie infused w/ pumpkin, and instead got a soft muffin-like puff cookie. After eating a few, they grew on me. Went well in the morning w/ black tea! Great flavor.
