    lu c k y d a yAlii want on St. Patrick's Day is a tall beer and some great pub food.Luckily, I don't have to venture into a loud, crowded bar to get it. This month's

    Easy Entertaining menu ("Pub Grub," p. 40) shows how easy it is tomake deliciousveg variations of pub-food favorites-think Hearty Irish Lager Stew, Cornish Pasties,and Salt and Vinegar Potato Bites. Skip the bar scene, and cook up the entire menufor friends, or hx one or two recipes for a smaller celebration. ( I f there's any leftoverstew,you'll be cheering the next day.)To brighten up everyday meals, "1Food 5Ways: Edamarne" (p. 62) encourages

    you to "think outside the pod" and try young green soybeans in everything from avelvety soup to rernpeing little sliders. And even though barbecue season ismonthsaway, "Grillin' for Two" (p. 32) demonstrates how readily an indoor grill can bridgethe gap. To round out this month's offerings, "Guiltless Pleasures" (p. 50) featuressome of our favorite recipes from Dr. Neal D. Barnard's brand-new book, 2i-DayWe Igh t Loss Kicks tart , including a smoky-creamy chipotle salad dressing and a killermango-lime sorbet. E l i z a b e t hu ; ; 6 ~

They had this vegetarian shoj in(Japanese temple cuisine) menu with the besttofu burger I have ever tasted. Even my meat-eating husband loved it.What's your NO.1 grocery splurge?Apple bananas-for their wonderful sweet-and-sour taste.What's your favorite piece of cookware?My food mill, the ancestor of the food processor. Itsimply makes the best soups.

It's so decadent,and it feels like I have a slice of history in my mouth,What's your favorite piece of cookware?My All-Clad braiser. It conducts heat really well;it's the perfect size for risotto, soups, and stews;and as messy as I make it, it's easy to clean.

    Melynda SaldenaisRecipe Developer, "Pub Grub," p,40Who or what inspires you most?Farmers' markets. The vibrant assortment offresh-picked fruits and vegetables, many with soilstill clinging to their roots, brings me back to mychildhood, when I spent summers gardening andcooking on my grandparents' farm.What did you discover while on this assignment?Miso is a great way to add a "meaty" depth of flavorco soups, sauces, and stews.What was your most memorable dining experience ever?Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif, Every course tasted like it was fresh-pickedfrom a farm right outside the restaurant.What was your best improvisatory moment in the kitchen?I wanted to make extra-creamy mashed potatoes, but I didn't have a ricer onhand. So, instead, I pressed peeled and boiled potatoes through a fine-meshsieve, and discovered it made the silkiest potatoes I've ever tasted. II

    After checking with Safdar Khan, DVM,senior director of toxicology researchat the ASPCA Animal Poison ControlCenter, we regret publishing thecomment, and urge you not to rubyour cat with anything garlicky, "Itdepends on the amount, but I wouldcaution against it," says Khan. "Catscan have issues with eating garlic itselfor garlic-containing products, Itcancause damage to their red blood cellsand result in anemia,"

    THIS ONE'S FOR THE KITTIESIn January/February's Tell VT on gettinggarlic odor off your hands (p, 15), youprinted a comment that said, "I wipemy hands on the cat!" Garlic and onionsare toxic and potentially fatal to cats.This is common knowledge for anyresponsible cat owner, 1am horrifiedthat an animal-friendly publicationwould be so irresponsible.

    R AC HE L T H OM SO N I M ILL VA L L EY , C AL IF NO PRESSUREEditor's Note: The IT staff is full ofresponsible cat owners, but none of ushad ever heard of garlic being toxic tocats, We read this Tell VTcomment asa Silly quip, and not to be taken literally.

    The recipes in "Pressure's On" (January!February, P : 32) sound delicious, Canyou provide gUidelines for convertingthem from pressure cooker to regularcookware use?

    Editor's Note: To make pressurecooker dishes in a standard pot, ITfood editor Mary Margaret Chappellsuggests following the multiply-by-three rule, If a recipe calls for cooking10 minutes at high pressure, simmerfor a half hour. "I would start with thesetimes, then test the ingredients in thedish for doneness," she says, "Pastashould be al dente, vegetables shouldbe tender, and grains should be fluffyand soft, The recipes may need a fewmore minutes to be perfectly cooked,"BUDDING ROMANCEAfter reading your November/December2010 issue, I have fallen in love withquince (1Food 5 \Vays, p. 56), I evenwent to five different markets to findthem in chilly Massachusetts! YourHoney-Baked Quince with Cardamom-Spiced Yogurt was heavenly.

    CHOICE WORDSLoved the piece on Alan Cumming(One on One, November/December,p. 84). What a remarkable man! Hiscomments on why he doesn't eat meat("Rotten carcasses don't feel good insidemy body") were my thoughts exactly.

    OLD FAVORITESI was going through a bunch of myolder ITs, and I tried t\VO great recipestoday. As I write this I am munchingon the yummy Baked Leek and SweetPotato Gratin from the February 2009issue (1Food 5 Ways, p. 84). It was soeasy to make. In the same issue are theQUinoa-Stuffed Peppers ("Feed YourHeart," p. 66), which I also whippedup today, and I am going to packeach pepper in a container for a quick,healthy, go-to weeknight meal. Noneed for processed frozen meals!

    Marci Cooke learned to make curry-based dishes after moving to rural NewHampshire. "Country living has somany great characteristics," she says,"but it is hard to fmd authentic ethnicfoods." Her two vegetarian daughterswere delighted with this subtly spicysoup, which became an instant favoriteof the VTstaff.

    thy HoopsterFour-time NBA championJohn Salley ventured intoTV , fi lm, and radio afterretiring from the game in2000; you can also catchhim on the podcast Sports-Ca s t w i th Spid er a nd th eHen c hman . Now Salley islooking to make anotherleap,this time into theworld of vegan foodproducts. - RY AN R IT CH IE

    Q Why are you gett ing into the food bus iness?A One of my rules is, "If you can't read it, don't eat ir." Too often,I have to put on my glasses to read a food label. Somebody has to bea person you can trust, and I want to be that person.Q You started on a veg diet five years into your NBA career.How did you make the switch?A When I got inca the pros [in 1986], I'd order cheeseburgers, andmy chef was making me fried chicken. The [Detroit] Pistons doctortold me I had the second worst cholesterol on the team. Then I metDr ..Jewel Pookrum, who asked me, "How are you going to be aliveif you eat something dead?" Food is an emotional thing. People areattached to it like it's a girlfriend or boyfriend. They'll say, "I'm notgiving up my fried chicken!" I say, "She's cheating on you. She'shurting your heart."QWhat difference did you notice in your game whenyou went veg?A I was quicker, and I jumped higher. I blocked more shots andgrabbed more rebounds. I also went up in scoring. The 1991-92season was my best ever.

    oreganoThis antioxidant superstar shines at mealtime

    H O W IT H E A L S More assertive than its sweeterrelative, marjoram, oregano ( O ri ga n um v ul ga re )belongs to the mint family. The aromatic leaves ofthis kitchen staple are a superb source of phvtonu-trient antioxidants. "Antioxidants act like chemicalsuperheroes, snatching up free radicals before theycan do serious harm to cells in the body," saysWendy Bazilian, DrPH, RD, coauthor of Th eS u p er Fo o ds Rx D ie t. According to USDA researchers,oregano supplies up to 20 times more antioxidantsthan dill, thyme, rosemary, or other common herbs;gram for gram, it provides greater antioxidant powerthan such fruits as blueberries and oranges. "Driedoregano may have even higher concentrations ofantioxidants by weight than fresh because the waterhas been removed," Bazilian notes. Oregano leavesalso serve up a healthful dose of vitamin K, which"is critically important for normal blood clottingand maintaining bone health," she says. Addition-ally, the essential oils in oregano, including carvacroland thymol, show antimicrobial activity.E A T IT U P A mainstay in Italian, Greek, MiddleEastern, and Latin cuisines, oregano livens uptomato sauces, dips, bean burritos, roasted root

    vegetable medleys, lentil salads, andfrittatas. Or add a few sprigs to olive oilfor an infusion of flavor. Sauteedmushrooms in particular benefit from agenerous sprinkling of oregano.It's best to add the fresh herb toward

    the end of cooking, as prolonged heatdiminishes oregano's flavor. The driedherb retains much of the savor of thefresh and successfully imparts oregano'sbold, complex personality to long-simmering chilis, stews, and soups. Foradded pungency, choose Mexicanoregano over the Mediterranean variety.Oregano grows with ease in pots or

    containers, so consider raising yourown on a sunny windowsill. Store freshoregano in the fridge, wrapped in aslightly damp paper towel, for up tothree days. Or chop the leaves, place in icecube trays with a bit of water, and freeze;add the frozen cubes directly to recipes.Black Olive TapenadeMArtS l CUPS I 3U MI NUTES OR fEWERFilling out this version of the Mediter-ranean condiment with almond flourhelps cut down on sodium withoutsacrificing texture.
