A photograph of a cookbook resting on a wooden tabletop. A hand -- white skin, short unpainted nails, plain gold wedding band -- is touching the bottom left corner of the book. The book cover reads, "Vegetariana: A Rich Harvest of Wit, Lore, and Recipes. Completely Revised and Updated, Featuring over 80 New Recipes. Written and Illustrated by Nava Atlas." The book is square-shaped, and the colours green, gold, and purple dominate.

What a world we live in, where I can look up and buy online a used copy of my favourite cookbook from the undergrad years, right down to the edition, just so I can make the exact peanut sauce I lived on in the late 1990s.
