Notes:
1. It is hard to get most people to eat Vegetables, myself included, and children can be the most stubborn. So be creative and add a melted cheese sauce.
2. Oven Roasted Vegetables are the most healthy. If you boil them you're removing all the vitamins and minerals and most of the taste, so you are defeating your purpose. Steaming is ok, but do not over steam and make them mushy.
Ingredients:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
White or Brown Button Mushrooms
Spring Onions (scallions)
Baby Carrots

A good story
GK Chesterton: “The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
Voila: www.tastingtoeternity.com. This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.
From a hectic life in New York City to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain:
“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.”
I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published.
I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication.
Enjoy
