The Omnivore's Introduction

Growing up in a foodie family (my mother's a cookbook writer), food has always been a huge part of my life and I never imagined living with someone who didn't feel the same way. But fall in love with the Vegetarian I did and, after some frustrations and adjustments, we've created an almost-vegetarian home. Just as I first discovered during Passover, necessity is indeed the mother of invention and my cooking has become more interesting and, dare I say, better, since I've all-but taken meat out of the equation. And luckily for me, the Vegetarian is always willing to taste and (gently) critique my inventions. Now, we look forward to sharing our discoveries with you!

The Vegetarian's Introduction

As a vegetarian for my whole life, whose normal-eating family bemoaned my picky choices at restaurants and at family dinners, food has always been a heavy issue.  Since moving in with the Omnivore, I've been pleased to find my palate expanded with new tastes, flavors and textures that I never was open to in the past.  In this blog, we'll examine those dishes designed to suit us all and create new ones that will show that both meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters can not only coexist in the same kitchen, but can embrace a cuisine that will make us all see that such distinctions can be irrelevant!
