Notes about Recipes in this book

• Tomato-bean salad with shaved fennel, spinach, and tomato vinaigrette

  • kristyn_1zgrur on March 24, 2026

    Loved this recipe and especially the vinaigrette and would increase vinaigrette. Converted it into three jarred lunches, kept well.

• Green summer vegetable soup with basil pesto

  • christineakiyoshi on July 01, 2024

    Solid summer soup recipe. I had zucchini on hand and was looking for a use. I had some leftover pesto in the freezer so used it with this. 4.5 stars

• Sweet potato and poblano chili

  • stef on November 05, 2025

    Love the combination of vegetables. Comes together easily if all the vegetables are peeled and chopped before hand. Nice mellow spicing and following cookin g time resulted in sweet potatoes that were cooked but not mushy.

• Classic beet and black bean burgers

  • christineakiyoshi on July 01, 2024

    Very good and hold together nicely. Makes around 8 large burgers. Will make again! 5 stars

• Beet and avocado sandwich with pickled onions and chive goat cheese

  • NicoleBrown on April 13, 2025

    It was Sandwich Sunday & we had all the ingredients to make this! A little messy, but delicious and beautiful with the purple beets + greens.

• Swiss chard risotto

  • Dcampos on February 08, 2026

    Used leek & shallot instead of onion and Thomas Keller's veg broth. It was surprisingly delicious.

• Hands-off risotto

  • Ajammies on February 13, 2026

    Almost as good as “regular” risotto. So so good! Sometimes add grated super firm tofu to make it a meal. A regular on repeat.

• Sesame-peanut noodles with crunchy vegetables and garlic-scallion chili oil

  • stef on June 26, 2025

    Only made the sauce for the noodles. Make sure to cook the right amount of noodles. I boiled too much noodles and it made my sauce disappear but the taste was very good.

  • stef on July 13, 2025

    Made the recipe as written using ramen noodles. It was enjoyed by family. Will repeat

• Cacio e pepe with roasted cauliflower and spinach

  • gastronom on December 13, 2025

    Tasty pasta dish. Cauliflower roasted at this high temp worked well—only needed the first baking time. Good just as a vegetable with salt and olive oil. Had trouble making the cheese mixture into a true sauce but flavor nicely coated the other ingredients. Also used much more spinach successfully.

• Summer tomato crostata with olive oil-Parmesan crust

  • stef on May 06, 2025

    I used hothouse tomatoes. We loved the layer of ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella cheese under the tomatoes. Will make again with garden tomatoes.

• Olive oil-Parmesan crostata dough

  • stef on May 06, 2025

    Easy to make in blender and was nice to roll. Baked up crunchy

• Lentil and mushroom shepherd's pie

  • christineakiyoshi on November 10, 2024

    Great recipe. I subbed eggplant for mushrooms and also added some TVP for a protein boost. Makes a huge pan, would easily serve 8. 5 stars.
