we are on a detox/cleanse diet this week, so naturally all i can think about is the food i can't have. instead of smoothies & soup, i want au gratin celery root & potatoes.
a while back, on the advice of my dear friend tiffany, i requested alice waters' "the art of simple food" from the library. my love affair with this cookbook began immediately! i love that she writes out her recipes in a way that seems more like poetry than cooking instructions & how she is mindful of combining things that are in season. for the most part, every recipe seems easy to convert to gluten-free & includes lots of cream & butter! :)
on tonight's detox menu: broccoli & arugula soup. tomorrow: still no coffee or 1/2 & 1/2. what were we thinking?
*** update
brandon quit the cleanse. the broccoli & arugula soup was awesome & he quit before dinner, so i had this yummy {& warm!} dinner all to myself.

i remember when tiffany wouldn't tell me where she got all her awesome recipes. she said something about me not respecting food enough. i ferreted it out of her, however, and now i am a big fan of that same book!
i am deeply honored for the blog shout out and that my favorite book has spread warmth and happiness to your homes. her cook book on fruit adds an amazing erotic twist to her poetry.
