Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Probiotic ranch

    • ethedens on November 07, 2023

      Pretty good! Would probably make again.

  • Broccoli-sausage pasta

    • ethedens on November 14, 2023

      Very good. Would definitely make again. Used Italian sausage and added a bit of orange zest. Only complaint is that the sauce didn't adhere to the pasta very well and it was hard to get bites with both the sausage and the pasta.

  • Pasta fazool

    • gamulholland on May 28, 2023

      This is obviously my personal preference, but I’d leave out one of the two 28-oz cans of tomatoes next time— they drowned out the flavor of everything else. It tasted mostly like canned tomatoes. I’m going to give it another try with one can.

  • Krauty beans

    • gamulholland on May 28, 2023

      Next time I will leave out the kraut liquid— too vinegary (and it didn’t actually have vinegar added to the kraut, but you get the idea.)

  • Vegan mapo tofu

    • ethedens on October 04, 2023

      I don't know how accurate this is to the original, but it's an absolutely delicious dish worth making on its own

  • Sheet-pan miso roast chicken with vegetables

    • ethedens on November 19, 2023

      To be fair, did chicken thighs instead of the whole chicken. Very salty. Missing contrast. There are definitely other chicken recipes I like better. Would not make again.

Publishers Text

This is the book that seeks to answer the eternal question: "What am I supposed to eat?" Here the chef and writer Noah Galuten, host of the charmingly self-deprecating YouTube series "Don't Panic Pantry," serves up convenient, healthily delicious, mostly vegetarian comfort food, teaching you how to prepare meals and snacks you're genuinely excited to eat.

As the world changes around us, we are constantly vacillating between two different versions of ourselves: the one who wants to be healthier and the one who wants to be excited, or comforted, by the food that we eat. We all want to eat "better," but what does that mean? This book is here to say: Don't panic.

Don't panic about learning how to cook; or environmental sustainability; or nutrition. Don't panic about what to make for breakfast or dinner or midnight snacks, because Noah Galuten has your back! In Noah's kitchen, trying really matters, perfection is overrated, and better is good enough. Noah gives you the tools to create kitchen staples and vegetable-and-bean-centric dishes (with just a little meat too) that will become the beloved, simple, everyday meals you will make over and over in your home.

Here are recipes for a "Chef Salad" with Cheddar Croutons and Probiotic Ranch; and three different versions of broccoli pasta (vegetarian, pescatarian or with rosemary-infused sausage) that you will put on weekly rotation. There are recipes for Noah's Instagram-famous Krauty Beans; a 30-second Vegan Tahini Dressing that will become your new favorite dip; a Miso Roast Chicken with Vegetables that you can prep in advance and leave in the fridge for several hours, or even a day, that makes dinner for your entire family using a single sheet pan. But there's also--for when you really need it--the fresh herbed panko-crusted Mozzarella Marinara that made Galuten's famously funny wife, comedian Iliza Shlesinger, break down in grateful tears. Here are your pantry staples for the future, to help you make cooking at home the tastier, more convenient, don't panic option.
