An unexpected burst of inspiration has me writing about late seventies/early eighties cookbooks and how I got from there to a glorious chicken & herb salad with peaches & Gorgonzola dressing via the inspiring words of food writers Sabrina Ghayour, Diana Henry Food and Vivian Howard. My Substack is free to read, and you don’t even need to subscribe (although I’d love it if you would). #Food #FoodWriting https://open.substack.com/pub/folklorefoodfairytales/p/from-an-eighties-cookbook-to-an-as

Eggless scrambled eggs with Chenna— way before Tofu scrambled eggs became a craze in US. Rarely hear of Chenna outside India, although many these days know of paneer.

Delicious V/VG food always existed in South Asia & other parts of world for centuries; West is only recently discovering and adopting them.
