Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Smoky tomato/white bean soup

    • gamulholland on October 05, 2024

      This was easy but a bit bland. I felt like it needed some more herbs/spices in there. But it was a nice dinner with the toasted crusty bread and Parmesan on top. 3.5 stars— Jenny has at least two other similar soups that have more zing. :)

  • Sheet pan gnocchi with butternut squash

    • EmilyR on September 13, 2024

      Spiced up Thanksgiving without the meat… I think it’s the heartiness mixed with thyme. Nice flavors.

  • Butternut squash galette with feta & chiles

    • shep0012 on November 02, 2024

      This was good but took much longer than 30 minutes. Prep time was 15-ish and cook time was closer to 40. I used the TraderJoe’s frozen pie crust, which might be a bit too sweet for this recipe.

  • Green curry soup

    • gamulholland on September 14, 2024

      I made the soup base (aromatics, ginger, up to including the Thai paste and broth and cooking the firmer veggies) one day and added the remaining steps the next day, so neither day felt like too much work. People went back for seconds, and my meat-eaters threw in a few leftover meatballs from pasta the night before. Very tasty. :)

  • Crispy honey-harissa glazed chickpea bowls with yogurt & mint

    • Lepa on November 30, 2024

      This was okay but I didn't love it.. probably not a repeat.

  • Summery Sicilian eggplant Parm

    • EmilyR on September 04, 2024

      Comes together quickly and is full of flavor.

  • Shells with artichoke sauce & crispy capers

    • EmilyR on September 16, 2024

      A sum of thr parts type of dish. Not sure I will be repeating this, but it was good especially after adding some cheddar-parm and maldon.

  • Baked pinto bean empanadas

    • EmilyR on September 13, 2024

      These are super simple and flavorful. We often buy empanadas at a nearby restaurant and now that I have discovered these wrappers it might change things.

  • Jam-jar pickled chiles

    • shep0012 on November 02, 2024

      As written, the peppers came out kind of bland. I think the pickling liquid would benefit from salt (the recipe doesn’t call for any) and more vinegar or less water.

  • Crispy capers

    • EmilyR on September 16, 2024

      simple pops of briny flavor.

  • Herby artichoke sauce

    • EmilyR on September 16, 2024

      Not special on its own and makes a fair amount more than 1c needed for the pasta. I will likely put it on some bread slathered with cheddar parm to amp up the flavor and my cholesterol.

Publishers Text

Jenny Rosenstrach’s bestselling cookbook, The Weekday Vegetarians, introduced home cooks to the idea that you don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat like one. In Get Simple, she shares 100 new recipes that make eating meat-free even easier, even tastier.

Jenny focuses on solutions to common misconceptions and roadblocks—like “Vegetarian cooking is so complicated!” which she counters with the skillet and sheet pan dinner chapter and recipes like a cozy Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Butternut Squash. Or, “Vegetarian dinners just aren’t filling!” which became the comfort food chapter, rich with recipes for hearty dishes like a Golden Greens Pie and Mushroom-Chard Bread Pudding. And, “I don’t want to eat pasta every single night!” as a driver for showcasing dinner-worthy bowls like Crispy Eggplant Bowls with Pistachios & Basil and Farro Piccolo with Crispy Mushrooms & Parm.

If you’re new to eating less meat and need an easy “just start here” option, go straight to Jenny’s vegetarian starter kit that mixes and matches 15 ingredients into 8 different meals, from Carbonara with Cabbage & Miso to Tostada with Eggs & Pickled Onions. And like in her first Weekday Vegetarians cookbook, home cooks will find a whole new battery of hooks, sauces, and sides that will leave you loving your meat-free nights.
