A brilliant creative-thinking-outside-the-box cook, a pioneer who illumined vegetarian cuisine for the rest of us. A lovely darling woman–like me, half-Jewish, half-Scottish–Deborah was most generous teaching me when I needed to learn how to teach cooking classes. To render your precious bundle of asparagus or box of ripe red currants to their ultimate most delicious, you’ll be grateful for your copy of Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by your side.
