"As an omnivore with vegetarian leanings married to a carnivore, I
appreciate Susan Pridmore's straightforward approach to delicious
vegetarian fare that can just as easily serve as the main event or
be served alongside meat dishes. Her recipes are delightfully
simple, but still surprisingly creative, fresh, and full of flavor.
Every recipe has a little twist that elevates it above the usual
without making it overly complicated to cook or shop for. I
especially love how the recipes are divided by cooking time/method
so that I don't have to waste time sorting through to find a dish
that suits my current situation."--Robin Donovan, Author of The
Healthy Make-Ahead Cookbook: Wholesome, Flavorful Freezer Meals the
Whole Family Will Enjoy, Campfire Cuisine: Gourmet Recipes for the
Great Outdoors, and creator of the blog Two Lazy Gourmets
"Aside from the utter lack of pretension, what we love about this
book is the pure focus on making the most of seasonal ingredients
by layering in flavor while still keeping things honest and
straightforward. We were won over by Susan's suggestion to use
chopped olives and oregano to transform a simple dish of pasta and
chickpeas into something briny and fragrant; this is just the sort
of brilliant but unfussy attention to detail that ensures this
combination will make its way into our weekly rotation...We think
of The Simply Vegetarian Cookbook as a dear friend whose first
language is home cook, but who also happens to be fluent in
vegetarian."--Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, Co-founders of
Food52
"For vegetarians and those aspiring to a more plant-based diet,
this is a book for cooking fresh, seasonal meals with the bonus of
tips for flexitarians to add an animal protein of choice. Cleverly
organized by cooking methods instead of ingredients or meal times,
it's quick to search and choose from the many enticing recipes.
Susan's functional format and simple recipes with fantastic flavor
make cooking from her book fast, fun, and always
delicious!"--Rosemary Mark, Nutritional and Culinary Consultant
