Here's a clever idea coming from Treehugger.com. In their Design and Architecture section, they display this idea from Kechenyi Camille from France. It's called Eco-cook and multi-tasks your cooking, boiling food at the same time. Mitzi Carter found that her multi-pot from Williams-Sonoma works just as well.
Last night we experienced a feast for the senses. Erica gave us a lesson in low-impact, Mediterranean cooking. We started preparing foods at about 4, and were finally serving the meal around 7. We learned to make herb-stuffed eggs, sweet peppers with tuna, grilled eggplant and zucchini, swiss chard/spinach fillo quiche, tomato sauce with fresh herbs, a mixed green frittata, and for dessert, filled peaches. We learned to talk to our food, and to listen. When we asked to set a timer for the stuffed peaches, Erica responded: 'Don't worry - they will talk to me.' It's also important to know that we don't need to pity the tomatoes when we squeeze the juice from them - Erica assured us that they are fine. More pictures: September 2007 Conversation. Here are the recipes. Here's a sample of the evening:
