I just came home from shopping at our local grocery store and I loaded up with fresh fruit and lots of greens because they all looked so good today. Now I have this nice new cookbook that has been put together by Ms. Brennan. If just for the recipe for wonderful and easy to prepare Shepherd's Pie, the book is worth the price. An old recipe you say? Not this one you make this one with three greens and wedges of Iceberg lettuce and then you put a delicious blue cheese dressing on top. It's all here.

Ever thought of trying braised kale? The recipe here shows you how to make it along with some other some good chops. My favorite recipe here is called "Skewered Lime and Ginger Prawns." This recipe has watercress, Mache and Frisee. Don't know those last two? I didn't either until I'd read this wonderful cookbook. Now I'm anxious to try them!
