Simple Green Suppers

June 15, 2017

In this quick-and-easy vegetarian cookbook, Middleton (Fast, Fresh & Green) shares a "veggie supper strategy" that readers can use to create flavorful meals every night of the week. His framework relies on pantry staples, convenient make-aheads, and a "veggies + 1" formula that pairs beautiful vegetables with "supporting actors" such as eggs, toast, broth, and noodles. To inspire readers to try her method, Middleton provides 125 recipes (e.g., quinoa and melted leek-stuffed roasted portobello mushrooms, chopped winter salad, spicy white bean burritos, soothing wheat berry broth), most of which can be prepared in 30-45 minutes. VERDICT If you like your meals fresh and frugal, try this practical guide to vegetarian convenience cooking. Readers who enjoy improvising in the kitchen may also appreciate Heather Crosby's YumUniverse Pantry to Plate and Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix.
