The Recipe for Good Cooking

An often-overlooked source of kitchen clutter is the cookbook collection. Unused cookbooks take up precious cabinet space. Some cookbooks, when consulted, make cooking a complicated and exhausting process. Aubergines and Olives can review your collection and help you assess which cookbooks support your family’s lifestyle and which provide simple, healthful and flavorful recipes. Paring down your cookbook collection can be a liberating experience! I can also recommend a few “must haves” for your cooking library.

Customized menu planning is another way to help keep cookbooks in their place. I love sharing delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes that make cooking and mealtimes a joyful and relaxing experience.

The following recipes demonstrate that food can be simple, elegant and delicious. I invite you to try them out for yourself. After you experience the art of simple healthful cooking, I encourage you to contact me for your personalized consultation.
