Remember the Veganomicon girls, Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero from the Post Punk Kitchen?

The awesome Jewish sustainable food blog called The Jew and the Carrot — aka JCarrot! — has included the lovely ladies in their special July 4th post entitled Revolutionary Cookbooks.

In honor of such a revolutionary holiday, The Jew & The Carrot would like to salute the small revolutions that happen every day in our kitchens: the first time we successfully make a matzoh ball like grandma’s, cook kale from our CSA, or teach our kids (or ourselves) how to make jam. And no tribute to kitchen revolutions would be complete without a shout out to every home chef’s trusty sidekick: the humble cookbook.

The Jew & The Carrot contributors compiled a list of our favorite “revolutionary cookbooks,” - the inspired recipe collections that in some way changed the way we cook, eat and even view ourselves.

Veganomicon: - Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romano
Even though I’m not a vegan (anymore), The Veganomicon gals are kind of my heroes. These Brooklyn natives pioneered a seriously tasty version of vegan cooking - one that relies on vegetables and creativity instead of fake meat products. Isa and Terry have published two other vegan cookbooks (including this savory one and this very sweet one), but Veganomicon is definitely their shining star. Their animal-free recipes appeal both to veggies and meat eaters (no, really!) and, more importantly, to both new and experienced cooks. And their Almost All-American Seitan Pot Pie is just wickedly tasty.

As one can probably expect, NYC is pretty heavily represented in the list of “revolutionary cookbooks.” Definitely check out the full post for more about the culinary revolution taking place in kitchens around the country.

Check out some of JCarrot’s Brooklyn-related posts.

In honor of JCarrot — and my sister for tipping me off to the site — I’m going to leave you with my favorite carrot-related quotation: “Whatsa mattah, ya got carrots in your ears?”
