Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Herbed tahini sauce

    • vegabond2016 on September 22, 2025

      YUM! This sauce is delicious. I didn't have dill so I used 2x the basil called for in the recipe. Will make again for sure!

  • Strawberry salsa

    • NicoleBrown on July 15, 2024

      I’ve make this at least once a summer! Have passed on the recipe to several friends after they asked.

  • Chesua's perfect pizza dough

    • hashi on June 07, 2025

      Great dough, easy and straightforward. The white/wheat mix gives it a really nice flavor. I also like that it makes two so one can be frozen for later.

  • Miso & honey-glazed radishes

    • shelbstirr on July 16, 2025

      Absolutely delicious. I added some red pepper flakes. Would be great as a side but I turned it into a bowl with some farro, kale sautéed with garlic, and some chicken apple sausage. Will make again.

  • Chocolate chip & real mint cookies

    • Jviney on June 20, 2019

      These are so very good. I’ve made them three times and everyone loves them. A great way to use up fresh mint from the garden.

  • Corn salad with walnuts & feta

    • Jviney on August 03, 2021

      Love this salad, it just tastes like summer. I made a few minor changes: I only had one jalapeno on hand and I sautéed my corn in a little walnut oil where she called for it raw. It was delicious.

  • Heirloom tomato & corn pizza

    • hashi on September 12, 2018

      Delicious and easy, a perfect use for the summer vegetable haul.

  • Sweet corn & summer squash coconut milk chowder

    • NicoleBrown on August 19, 2024

      I was excited for this, but it’s not a very substantial chowder. Would maybe make a good base for additional ingredients? I could see adding potatoes next time and maybe one less cup of water. Mine turned out pretty thin.

  • Roasted vegetable & chickpea tacos with herbed tahini sauce

    • bwhip on March 16, 2018

      These are fantastic, one of our favorites. The herbed tahini sauce really puts them over the top. Amazing, fresh flavor from simple ingredients.

  • Blueberry lemon & ricotta biscuits

    • NicoleBrown on August 07, 2024

      I kneaded this is the bowl as asked in recipe, but I next time I’ll do it on the counter. Very rustic biscuit. Taste is good. Not sweet as mentioned. If I make again I will form the dough better. Some of mine fell apart while baking. Baked for 14 minutes.

  • Roasted ratatouille toast

    • bwhip on March 16, 2018

      Really good. The creme fraiche on the toast is the perfect complement to the lovely roasted vegetables. Making me hungry just thinking about it.

  • Spiced pumpkin oatmeal breakfast cookies

    • NicoleBrown on October 26, 2024

      Like a portable little oatmeal breakfast to go! If you’re looking for a dessert cookie you’ll want a different recipe. But if you’re in a rush out the door and need something easy to grab for breakfast I think these are perfect. I skipped the raisins and subbed avocado oil for walnut. Baked at 325 for 20 minutes. Will definitely be freezing these to keep on hand!

  • Butternut molasses muffins

    • RRuth on February 06, 2026

      Nice. Quite sweet (1/2 cup molasses + 1/2 cup maple) and a strong molasses flavor. Might cut both sweeteners a little a next time. Used mix of leftover pumpkin puree and butternut puree as in recipe. Made it with 1 cup flour and 1 cup whole rye flour since I had no wholeweat on hand.

  • Simple cauliflower soup

    • Ajammies on February 18, 2023

      I enjoyed this, but think I would roast the cauliflower first next time and reduce the amount of oil. Maybe use vegetable broth as well.

  • Autumn spiced granola

    • NicoleBrown on October 24, 2024

      So delicious + filled up my home with the loveliest smells! I substituted avocado oil for the walnut as that’s what I had on hand. I didn’t bother stirring around the granola at the halfway baking point. I love clumpy granola and I find it clumps better when packed down and left alone.

    • RRuth on February 03, 2026

      Great recipe!

  • Tumbleweed Farm winter panzanella

    • shelbstirr on January 25, 2026

      Great panzanella. Will make again. A little bit of work to prep all the veg, but very little active cooking time after everything is chopped. I addled some chicken apple sausage. I tried to find efficiency by toasting walnuts with the croutons, but watch that walnuts don’t burn. I don’t love raw onion so I made up the dressing and mixed in the chopped onion and let it sit to mellow while the veg cooked.

  • Kale, sausage, & white bean soup

    • bwhip on October 25, 2021

      Delicious, flavorful soup. Perfect for a rainy fall evening. Easy prep, great results.

    • RRuth on February 03, 2026

      Delicious and simple. Typical ‘could have thought of it myself but didn’t and thankfully someone else did’ recipe :) Added some chili and subbed broccoli for kale as that’s what I had.

  • Spiced winter porridge

    • RRuth on February 04, 2026

      Creamy, warming, comforting. Perfect! The only change I made was decrease the amount of nutmeg & clove to 1/8 tsp and added 1/4 tsp of cardamom. Would do that again. Would also like to try it with slightly more pumpkin added. I used half cows milk / half water. Served it with spiced granola from same book! Serves 4 instead of 2 in my opinion. (But i’m not a farmer doing manual labor like the author.)

  • Roasted acorn squash with tahini & hazelnuts

    • hashi on October 12, 2023

      Warming, quick, great for a rainy evening! The tahini sauce complements the squash very nicely.

  • Stonesoup

    I love that the recipes are simple and packed with veggies. I also love that there’s bacon. And the occasional steak. I also love that Andrea has a deep appreciation for sauces.
