Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Paneer & pumpkin grits

    • katie_did on February 18, 2018

      We like to use kale rather than collard greens and we use 5-minute grits.

  • Paneer & pumpkin grits - carnivore version

    • katie_did on February 18, 2018

      The shrimp version tastes a little boring compared with the paneer one.

  • Spinach & artichoke mac & cheese

    • Nancith on May 13, 2021

      This tasty dish is very rich in an artery-clogging kind of way! Probably best eaten as a side & not as a main dish. It's not overly saucy, but uses cream cheese, mayo, almond milk & Parmesan to simulate the taste of the ubiquitous spinach-artichoke dip. I only used 1/2 lb. of pasta rather than the full lb. called for, plus less cream cheese, mayo, garlic & onion powder, but used full amt. of veg & liquids. The only real change was throwing in some fancy runny cheese to make up for having only a small amount of cream cheese on hand; this added a bit of a strange taste, so I think it's preferable to stick with cream cheese!

  • Broccoli & quinoa salad

    • Nancith on August 21, 2021

      Yum! This riff on the ubiquitous picnic broccoli salad is a tasty, protein-packed version that I'll definitely make again. The dressing relies on lemon rather than vinegar which gives a nice brightness, and the addition of quinoa made this suitable for me as a main dish. I did cut back on the amount of mayo, didn't use all the sunflower seeds (although I should have), and wouldn't mind more golden raisins.

Publishers Text

Damaris Phillips is a southern chef in love with an ethical vegetarian. In Phillips's household, greens were made with pork, and it wasn’t Sunday without fried chicken. So she had to transform the way she cooks. In Southern Girl Meets Vegetarian Boy, Phillips shares 100 recipes that embody the modern Southern kitchen: food that retains all its historic comfort and flavor, but can now be enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
 
The book features Phillips’s most cherished entrees from her childhood made both with and without meat: Chicken Fried Steak becomes Chicken Fried Seitan Steak. Loaded Potato and Bacon Soup is now Loaded Potato and Facon Soup. She gives down-home side dishes a makeover by removing meat, adding interna­tional spices, and updating cooking techniques, and offers soul-satisfying, irresistible desserts that triumph over the meat-eater-versus-vegetarian divide, every time. Phillips found a way to make Southern food that everyone can enjoy, wherever they are on their culinary journey.
