Deborah answers the question, what's for supper when it's not chicken or beef or fish. For vegetarians and health-conscious non-vegetarians, the quest for recipes that don't call for meat often can seem daunting. Deborah solves the perennial question of what to cook for dinner in more than 100 inspiring recipes to enjoy every night of the week. Wine suggestions come with each recipe as well as hints as to how to make vegetarian recipes into vegan ones.

VEGETABLE SOUPS FROM DEBORAH MADISON'S KITCHEN

Vegetable Soupswas named a 2007 IACP Cookbook Finalist & James Beard Cookbook Award Nominee.

The cover of Vegetable Soups shows a sea of broth; in it float green asparagus tips, bright new edible pea pods, spring leeks, bands of spinach and purple chive blossoms. Which is to say, soups are not just for winter, but for all seasons of the year, starting with spring.

Enjoy the book! Eat soup!

A NOTE FROM DEBORAH

I've spent a great deal of time in farmers markets all over the country and I've always enjoyed how much sharing takes place at these gatherings. While shopping, people are also busy introducing their friends to one another, exchanging recipes, news of the family and the farm. Often I overhear dinners being spontaneously planned among shoppers and I've planned quite a few this way myself.

While a web site won't be as bustling and colorful as a market, I hope you'll join me at this electronic table for some sharing of recipes, thoughts and observations, the rewards and challenges of eating locally, good new books on food and farming, maybe a movie or two.
