"Soup, edited by Michael Fullalove, published by Dorling Kindersley. Simply named, beautifully designed. It’s a book that you can sit down and read like a novel. One that will garner appreciation from the novice cook to accomplished chefs alike.It is detailed yet easy to follow and illustrated with inspiring photographs that will get you off the couch and delving into your fridge or pantry to see what kinds of deliciousness you can get simmering to cozy up your house right away. The section on rescuing was particularly exciting for me. Let’s say your soup is lumpy or over salted  (not that *I’ve* ever made such rookie mistakes) Soup includes remedies from lauded chefs from around the world. The book is also a purchase you can feel good about, as Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and Chew on This, explains in the forward; the proceeds of the book go to the Soil Association.

The Soil Association was founded in the 1940’s by Lady Eve Balfour and Sir Albert Howard in response to the popularization of pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. They had the foresight to see the interconnectedness of the soil, the land and how it is treated and how it affects every aspect of our health and well being. Schlosser goes on to explain that all of the amazing chefs have donated their favorite soup recipes to benefit the Soil Association. From Alice Waters of Chez Panisse to Raymond Blanc, Chef Patron of Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, Oxfordshire, the book is chock full of Michelin starred and James Beard Awarded chefs giving up their favorite soup recipes for a cause."
