When I decided to become vegetarian, I had to learn how to ‘recook,’ if you will.

That turned out to be vegetables, really organic and fresh.

The classic French blanch-and-cool technique I learned at Chez Panisse yields the kind of brilliant, picturesque vegetables we all want to see on restaurant plates. Long-cooked foods, on the other hand, fall firmly into the ‘ugly but good’ camp of the Tuscan cucina povera, where flavor far outshines looks.
The first thing I do in the morning is prepare fresh juice. I have 15 different recipes, which I drink for 15 days consecutively. Then I repeat the recipes from the beginning for the next 15 days of the month. My juices include fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, and even grains.
