Tamar Adler could probably turn cardboard, discarded eggshells, banana peels, coffee grounds, and olive pits into a five-course meal fit for kings...

Seriously, ideas abound here dripping with so much brilliant simplicity that it will give you cause to look at food in a whole new way, and wonder why you even try anymore...

I pray I can one day know ten percent of ingredients as intimately as Ms. Adler.
