to say that i’m a fan of heidi swanson, her blog 101 cookbooks and her incredible food photography would be a massive understatement. i’ve been reading her beautiful food/recipe blog for years now and was thrilled when she agreed to share one of my favorite recipes from her book, super natural cooking. heidi’s spring minestrone soup is just what i’m craving right now, especially after an afternoon of eating french desserts with a good friend yesterday. after all that sugar, i could use something light and full of “green”. i hope you’ll enjoy heidi’s recipe (and photography) as much as i did. if you’re still looking for something sweet, our food writer kristina of three layer cake suggests heidi’s recipe for all-natural thin mint cookies. delicious. thanks to heidi for sharing her fantastic spring soup recipe with us- click here for the full recipe or just click “read more” below.
about heidi: based in san francisco, heidi swanson takes photographs, writes cookbooks, publishes websites, and sometimes (mostly in the past) helps to produce gatherings of interesting people (TED, TASTE3). her writing, projects, and photographs have been featured in publications such as food & wine magazine, the washington post, glamour, whole foods markets, saveur, fast company, and many more. her recipe journal, 101 cookbooks, won the 2005 people’s choice webby award for best personal web site. ten speed press recently published heidi’s super natural cooking- a cookbook inspired by whole foods and natural ingredients.

normally i’m not a big motivational poster person (images of that poor kitten on a branch always come to mind= ‘hang in there!’) but i’m loving these new modern motivational ‘grow‘ and ‘integrity‘ posters from right brain terrain (both $15). added bonus? all of right brain terrain’s posters are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled papers using vegetable based inks. click here for more information and to shop online.
