  Jeanne Lemlin's cookbooks came into my life when I was learning to cook vegetarian dishes. I've loved all of her books and have been disappointed that there hasn't been a new one in several years.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Stuffed cherry tomatoes

  • cilantrolime on July 10, 2014

    It's pretty. Good for entertaining. Too much work for every day affairs.

• Tamari almonds

  • dmass on March 17, 2018

    These almonds are easy, and a great snack. My husband and I love them. They are not too spicy. I usually add a little bit more cayenne, but we like spicy food.

• Eggplant caviar

  • cilantrolime on July 10, 2014

    A Russian friend said the taste is very authentic. Should peel the eggplant.

• Marinated roasted peppers

  • nutrica6 on October 06, 2025

    Great way to preserve peppers that may go bad. I used a little more oil and jarred them. If you heat up the oil you may get a seal on the jar so it doesn't need to be refrigerated. These are awesome on everything...sandwiches, crackers, salads, charcuterie board.

• Green goddess dip

  • nhhale on June 02, 2026

    This has become one of our favorite vegetable dips. Very flavorful.

• Mexican vegetable stew

  • nhhale on June 02, 2026

    Delicious and light but filling.

• Curried barley and mushroom soup

  • margiebh on January 02, 2015

    Strong flavors from Indian spice ingredients that I don't often use---probably the ground cardamom and ground coriander. I liked the soup but my family didn't seem to. I'm enjoyed leftover cups of the soup for lunches.

• Lentil soup with garlic

  • Brikl on January 28, 2017

    Page 40

  • Brikl on February 05, 2017

    Rather boring. It needed at least a bay leaf or broth or something.

• Corn chowder

  • Waderu on November 21, 2010

    I added 1/2 lb of chopped clams and 3/4 lb cod diced. Simmered them in the milk before adding to the chowder.

• Crunchy lentil salad

  • stacey on September 14, 2010

    This makes a perfect packable lunch on a winter's day.

  • Brikl on January 28, 2017

    Page 78

  • Brikl on January 28, 2017

    I prefer this made with red wine vinegar and not crunchy but with the lentils cooked 25 minutes and the veggies chopped in the food processor. One of my very favorite dishes.

• Penne and broccoli salad with creamy garlic dressing

  • Christinalego on July 15, 2020

    Great , and easy!

• Fettucine Margherita

  • shamby on September 13, 2013

    p. 126

• Fettucine with asparagus in lemon cream sauce

  • shamby on September 02, 2013

    p. 127

  • boopity on September 15, 2019

    Super quick and yummy. I always add frozen peas.

• Crusty potatoes, tomatoes, and onions baked with olive oil and garlic

  • ethan_fauraq on February 21, 2026

    Page 148!

  • nhhale on June 02, 2026

    Such simple ingredients and such outsized flavor!

• Cheesy stuffed potatoes

  • shamby on August 22, 2013

    p. 151

• Chilaquiles

  • nhhale on June 02, 2026

    A recurring winter comfort meal

• Tofu Provençal

  • Tealismyname on May 18, 2025

    p.168

• Spicy ragout of vegetables and tofu

  • London_Mummy on April 22, 2026

    This is a bit of a dull & bland recipe but it tasted OK & was suitable for the cauliflower which I had to hand. I increased the protein content by substituting frozen broad beans & a can of cannelini beans for the recipe's frozen peas.

• Green bean salad with lemon, dill, and feta cheese

  • Nancith on March 06, 2014

    Didn't have any red onion, so I used granulated onion in the dressing. Very fresh tasting. This would be great in the summer with fresh garden green beans.

• Green bean and red pepper sauté

  • blozoff on December 10, 2020

    very good and easy

• Lemon-soy marinade

  • nhhale on June 02, 2026

    Simple and delicious

• The best chocolate cake

  • diana_5rol8h on February 17, 2026

    Made many times, easy and good. The icing is really good, made double for this cake.

• Sweet potato pudding with crystallized ginger

  • ashallen on November 27, 2019

    Nice pudding!
