101 Cookbooks was one of the very first blogs I started reading, way back in the fall of 2004, when I was first discovering the wonderful world of the blogosphere. I was thrilled when Heidi released her gorgeously photographed and thoughtfully written book, Super Natural Cooking, in 2007. If you're looking for a way to incorporate more whole grains into your diet (as all the studies say you should), this is a great book to turn to. Not only are there lots of recipes that include whole grains (as well as natural sweeteners, super foods and greens), Heidi is careful to tell include an exhaustive section that details the benefits, cooking times and flavor palates of the different grains that she uses.
If that bowl of soup on the cover of the book looks tasty to you, you're in luck, as the recipe for it appeared on Design*Sponge a couple of weeks ago. It's for Spring Minestrone (how appropriate!) and sounds delicious.

Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)
Because eating French Fries in the car is so tough

Yeah, Heidi's recipes are healthy... but they are also delicious. She is deft with subtle flavors and understands the value of acidity.

Agreed. I never used to seek out these foods, but now when my wife makes something of Heidi's there is no hesitation. I've even bit the bullet and actually bought tofu (which you'd have to know me to realize how revolutionary this is).
