Description

"You don't need to be a vegetarian to eat like one! With over 100 recipes, the New York Times bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story and her family adopt a "weekday vegetarian" mentality. In her newest cookbook, creator of the beloved website Dinner: A Love Story and Cup of Jo columnist Jenny Rosenstrach writes about being a "weekday vegetarian," i.e. eating a vegetable-based diet during the week and saving meaty splurges for the weekend. One day, it hit Rosenstrach like a lightning show more bolt: She and her family needed to eat less meat--for their health and for the greater good of the environment. The Weekday Vegetarians shows readers how she got her family on board with meat-free meals. She uses "Hooks" that make any vegetarian dish irresistible--like spiced Crispy Chickpeas, Pizza Dough Croutons, and Sweet Chili Glaze; "Next-Level Sauces" like Vegan Caesar, Shakedown Pesto, and Yogurt-Harissa; and "Side Dishes That Make Everything Special" like Yogurt Flatbread. Organized by meal type, The Weekday Vegetarians offers one hundred recipes like Pizza Salad with White Beans in the Bowls & Salads chapter, Cauliflower Cutlets with Ranch Dressing in the chapter Skillet Mains, and Squash and Black Bean Tacos in the Tacos & Tortillas chapter, with excellent and practical tips, and food for thought written in her engaging, witty, and relatable voice. And who knows--maybe like Jenny's family, the more you practice being "weekday vegetarians," the more you will notice plant-based eating creeping into your weekends!"-- show less

Just what I was looking for! A thoughtful approach, recipes that turn out the way they are supposed to, faster food with great flavor, along with an actual usable plan. She finds a balance that takes everyone into account - people wanting to go more vegetarian, people who are vegetarian, as well as suggestions for making recipes vegan. Checked this out of the library and used it so much, I bought a copy of my own to explore over the next months.
I am not a vegetarian and have no intention of becoming one. However, I do enjoy a wide variety of vegetables. I hoped this cookbook would provide me with various recipes I could use to prepare vegetables. Unfortunately, many of the recipes require spices and other ingredients I do not stock. As a result, I found almost no recipes I intend to try.

I would not recommend this book for someone new to vegetarian cooking. However, I think someone experienced in vegetarian cooking could find numerous interesting recipes. For that reason, I’m giving this book four stars.
There are a lot of interesting recipes in this book ! I look forward to trying some of them!
