Tip of the Tongue Episode 304: Heidi Herman's Hidden Vegetables

For those who hate vegetables, those pesky green things on your plate can be more than a nuisance. They are turn you off to even the best of food. Heidi Herman is such a person, trying to be healthy and eat her veggies despite hating the taste of vegetables. She grew with an Icelandic mother who found the array of vegetables available in the US to be not only perplexing, but a disappointment.

Now she is trying to make vegetables palatable to the vegetable averse. And she is trying to reach adults, not just children. Her book, Hidden Vegetables Cookbook: 90 Tasty Recipes for Vegetable-Averse Adults, is full of recipes for those who share her aversion. And I can attest to the fact that her recipes are delicious even to the vegetable lover.

Listen! It’s on Tip of the Tongue.
