For tomorrow's Food section, we're celebrating that great mid-winter vegetable, kale. Aw, what do you mean, you don't like kale? With all the ways you can cook kale -- even not cook kale, you can eat it raw -- you can surely find one way you like it. We'll have kale salad, kale soup, crispy kale and roasted kale.
To celebrate, here's the return of a book giveaway, the new book version of the Martha Stewart Living mini-mag "Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast." The 250 recipes really are practical and simple.
To enter, post your name (or a nickname if you sign in as anonymous) in the comments below. Check back on Monday, when I'll pick a name at random to win a copy of the book.
So what's the connection between kale and a big giveaway? The book has an easy side dish recipe for kale:
Sauteed Kale With Garlic and Lemon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds kale (2 large bunches), stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a generous amount of salt. Cook kale until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain well.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale; season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss to combine and serve.
Serves 4.

My kale tip: Toasted Sesame Oil is wonderful with kale. Simply wilt it in a pan, turn off the heat and toss with a drizzle of the sesame oil (a little goes a long way). Don't know why but the flavors really compliment each other. A little garlic is nice too.
I am a new fan of kale, and by fan, I really mean, I will eat it. It is sooo good for you! Would love to win the book and get more easy recipes. Thanks!

I want to win a new cookbook. I've recently started cooking kale and really enjoy it. Collards have always been my favorite, but the smaller kale leaves are easier to prepare. Great to see the photo with all the kale varieties and colors.
I love kale with vinegar.
Love kale and would love to win the book!
