Sauerkraut Stew with Kassler (German-style brined and smoked pork chops), potatoes, roasted red peppers and caraway And a blueberry brown butter buckle (with ginger, black pepper and nutmeg) for dessert

Kale on pizza is great - just be a little bit more open-minded. Just repeating stuff you are used to is so boring

I doubt it will travel around much - most likely sitting on some container ship waiting to be unloaded

I prefer custard based ice cream. Jeni’s ice cream have often a very custard based ice cream like consistency (and you don’t taste any of the cream cheese). I am quite sure if we would do a blind tasting you would have problems to distinguish between Jeni’s and custard based ice creams

Do you get your books directly from Amazon ? Looking on the currently available MP books on Amazon they don’t ship directly from Amazon but other shops

There are actually a few Legoland Parks in the US, including Carlsbad which close to San Diego

Just curious why you are avoiding sugar and dairy

I never really use Facebook and tried to find those two groups - do you have links ? (Just want to see some of the recipes to see if the creami might be worth buying

Health benefit claims of any ingredients are very unlikely to have any meaningful validity as those reports never are based on solid scientific data which would hold true under clinical trial conditions.

Very helpful if you have many cookbooks. Recently I wanted to look up what shrimp taco recipes I had at home in my cookbooks and it takes about 10 seconds and than you can browse and decide on the best one based on what else you have at home. In addition, it has links to 10000+ free online recipes from cookbooks you might have not in your collection which are again searchable by different ingredients etc.

Looks interesting but it seems to be free for Kindle Unlimited (which is not part of Prime) - or am I missing something?

At least in my hometown of Hamburg you would get in trouble if you serve Jaegerschnitzel unbreaded (and anything south of Hamburg is anyway redneck country

Since when are Jägerschnitzel unbreaded - that would start a revolution in Germany.

What do you do with chives so much ? There are definitely dishes which benefit from them but not too many. Whereas parsley and cilantro cover many dishes for us

Only if you cover other sources not yourself

The problem with ATK books is that there is very significant overlap of the recipes between their books - if you have a few of them most likely you have a number of the recipes already

Three books - and most of my scientific books always cost $100-200, so the price for these three books is high but inline with market prices

As a cookbook junkie I have the Fox’s book already (and enjoy it). There are many other good ones out there like Six Seasons, the different Suzanne Goin cookbooks (those are obviously not only cover vegetables) etc.

Indeed I have! All of the countries you list fall under the "they" category. "We" referenced middle America. OK - your first post was referencing Asia and the way vegetables are treated in Asia is often quite different than in many Western countries (but both are often very good). I would also argue that many US places have excellent vegetable dishes, like many restaurants in CA

Then you haven’t eaten good vegetables dishes in many part of especially southern Europe, e.g. France, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Portugal… I very much doubt that the quality of the dishes makes the difference.

That should be pretty much the end of the discussion

That is something I have never understood living now 20+ years in different parts of the US that way too many parents adjust their meals to what the kids want and are used to. It’s sometimes ridiculous to see at school potlucks what some of these kids are not eating because they have never experienced it. And as with so many other things, e.g. languages, behavior in many forms throughout life (including how to behave in restaurants) are deeply formed in the early years of life and should have the full support of the parents (and I have never seen anywhere on this level in different countries in Europe)

Apparently we must then be Asian as we never ask our daughter what she wants to eat but she eats the same dishes as us since she is one (but I would argue that is more the German way as our parents have also done it). Your example is generalizing the western countries too much as there are very significant differences between many European countries and the US for example especially around food (with and without context to children)

I think trying to “hide” vegetables is the complete wrong way to do it. It’s more important to clearly show them which vegetables they are eating and get them thereby involved and interested. Our daughter would ask why she has to eat baby food

They are variations on eggless quiches. I have seen many similar variations. Ultimately you need a “thickening” agent in a quiche which is normally egg but it is not unusual to use bechamel sauce and vegetable puree (but you could also use mashed tofu etc)
