It was originally built on the premise that once you own over 100 cookbooks (raise your hand!) it's time to stop buying and start cooking. This site chronicles a cookbook collection one (vegetarian) recipe at a time. But there's more to the story now that we're a few decades into it here's a little background on me and the site…

Ten years ago my friend Nikki shared this recipe with me. She described these sweet potatoes as a sweet potato puree but with a twist: they get a creamy flavor from a generous splash of coconut milk crunch from toasted coconut and macadamia nuts and a kick from freshly grated ginger. For those of you who have been reading my site for a long time this is the same Nikki who took my site by storm when I posted her healthy cookie recipe ages ago. The same Nikki who has been my friend since she showed up in my sixth grade class fresh from Los Angeles wearing a Swatch watch and white Reebok hi-tops. Neither of which I had ever seen before. She won't fool you this sweet potato recipe is truly amazing. I know a lot of you love this recipe so I recently took a few new pictures. The only (recent) adjustments I've made to the recipe are baking the sweet potatoes without foil and suggesting an (optional) topping with lemon olive oil. It's a nice counterbalance to the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. Enjoy the sweet potatoes! I miss you Nik! I think Nikki hit the nail on the head when she told me she paired it with lots of garlicky sauteed veggies. It's the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving but also an A+ option outside of the holidays.
