Food for Thought has stood in the heart of London’s Convent Garden for nearly 30 years, maintaining a reputation for innovative and delicious vegetarian food within a quirky and friendly, family-run atmosphere. The basic formula has not changed in those three decades, but the role of vegetarianism has. More and more people are turning to vegetarian food for health reasons. Gone are the days of traditional pulses and meat substitutes: vegetarian eating now offers a deliciously healthy way to enjoy food.

2019 IACP Award Winner in the Compiliations Category On the occasion of Cook's Illustrated's 25th anniversary, we've gathered together our most extraordinary recipes and innovations from the past quarter-century in this hands-on book packed with practical tips and techniques. These recipes tell the story of how Cook's Illustrated has changed American home cooking through its signature blend of rigorous testing, culinary research, science, and unorthodox approaches to developing foolproof recipes. As fans know, a big part of what makes the magazine so trustworthy (and enjoyable to read) is the essays that accompany each recipe, tracing from initial brainstorming to aha moments (and the occasional catastrophe) to final success. Rarely republished since they first appeared, these feature-length stories celebrate the art of food writing and the extensive work that goes into every recipe. In addition to the recipes, essays, and helpful sidebars, this book also features the trademark black-and-white illustrations that have become synonymous with Cook's Illustrated, creative use of the beloved front- and back-cover art, and a new addition: gorgeous, full-color photographs of each dish. Featured recipes include: Perfect corn on the cob that never gets boiled, ultracreamy tomato soup that's completely dairy-free, the fastest roast chicken recipe, "oven-grilled" London broil, and ingenious, low-key approaches to traditionally high-fuss recipes such as risotto, French fries, pie crust, and many more.

About the Book Food For Thought is a "recipe" book for inspiring and promoting the need to adopt a healthy mental diet and the importance of developing and maintaining a healthy attitude towards life. Your mind is your greatest asset and deserves to be treated as such. It requires daily maintenance and attention to remain sharp, especially as you get older. With the destabilization of mental health in our society due to pandemic and environmental influences, increased stress, anxiety and depression, we need to feed our minds with nutritious thoughts while dismissing our "junk food" thoughts - negative self-talk - on a daily basis. Using the format of a recipe, this book provides a creative perspective on how positive "ingredients" can be used to support and inspire thinking that leads to optimal self-regulation and leadership. There are recipes that everyone can use to satisfy every palate's psychological craving.
