Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff

A little short for how important this book is! A quick and dirty lesson on food co-ops with a few painfully slim (for a bay area resident, anyway) memories of how things were over 40 years, plus recipes. Written with the humility and enthusiasm of the lifelong learner.

I'm not too sure whether I ever refer to this cookbook, maybe to look for a variation on tabbuli. I was leafing through it as I catlogued it and spotted Spaghetti al Pesto. The English translation of this dish was "Spaghetti with Fresh Basil Sauce and Tofu". Not to encouraging, eh?
