Nigella Lawson Encourages Vegetarianism in the Summer

Grandaddy's Eggplant

My day pretty much started by listening to Nigella Lawson's interview by Steve Inskeep. I was most amused by the interview, especially just before 7 on a Tuesday morning. Incidentally, if you've got the 7 minutes, the radio recording is much more entertaining than the written article.

Nigella is proud to be a carnivore, and her cookbooks often highlight that fact. However, in the summer, she's all for taking advantage of the summer vegetables in season and making her veggie dishes the center of a meal. Feta cheese is a big part of those recipes, so if that's a favorite of yours, she's got great recommendations.

At the new NPR.org, you can access a zucchini and feta fritter recipe, a rolled/stuffed eggplant recipe, and a dessert recipe. All vegetarian and all with the ease of a lazy summer--albeit the end of it--in mind.
