Ben, you are definitely a gifted food writer. I reached out to buy this instantly. I am pretty sure you had me at “bright salad.” I’m so glad that you mentioned this Substack on the podcast; reading your various food thoughts has been illuminating AND fun.

Good luck! And thank you for this book rec. My version of "vegging out" is holding my nose and scarfing down raw lettuce before my taste buds notice. I'm in desperate need of finding new ways to consume (and enjoy) more veggies. This books sounds like a great resource. I'm especially interested in the pickling!

This book SCREAMS my daughter’s name!! I have to order it for her now and also, order one for myself. My family (maternal and paternal sides) were garden people - I grew up picking veg from the garden and preparing it for my own lunch by the time I was 11. Thanks, Love!!
