More about this book
The recipes are dependable and full of flavour: crunchy salads with toasted nuts and lively dressings, hearty soups, veggie-packed tacos and enchiladas, grain bowls, pizzas and simple, wholesome desserts. Many dishes include notes for making them vegan or gluten-free, and Taylor is good at suggesting swaps when an ingredient is out of season.
Her voice is warm and encouraging, and the book is sprinkled with stories and photos of Cookie, her dog and kitchen companion. The photography is fresh and colourful, and the layout is clean, so recipes are easy to follow while cooking. The emphasis is on enjoyment, not on rules or restriction.
Some recipes call for a fair amount of chopping, and experienced vegetarian cooks may find several ideas familiar. For everyday cooks looking for reliable, cheerful meatless meals, it is a lovely kitchen companion. Many recipes are also suitable for meal prep, and the leftovers often taste even better the next day, which makes the book especially useful for busy weeknights. Several of the breakfast ideas can also be prepared ahead, so mornings stay simple. About 272 pages in the Rodale hardcover.
