Jeanne Lemlin is familiar to a generation of home cooks as a pioneering
vegetarian cookbook author whose books—including the James Beard
Award-winning Quick Vegetarian Pleasures—present accessible, reliable,
and flavorful vegetarian recipes. Now, Lemlin returns to the cookbook
shelf for the first time in more than ten years with this dramatic
reinvention of her first book—originally published twenty-five years ago
as Vegetarian Pleasures: A Menu Cookbook.
Simply Satisfying’s more than 200 seasonal recipes showcase readily
available ingredients— particularly fresh vegetables, fruits, grains,
and beans—as well as straightforward techniques, global influences, and,
most delectably and rewardingly, robust flavors. Here are Baked
Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower and Jalapeños, Fragrant Vegetable
Stew with Corn Dumplings, Leek Timbales with White Wine Sauce, Baked
Eggplant Stuffed with Curried Vegetables . . . and for dessert,
Raspberry Almond Torte, Rhubarb Cobbler, and Cowboy Cookies. Each
inviting dish is simple enough to be part of a weeknight meal and
certain to satisfy vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Lemlin guides cooks through both everyday and special-occasion cooking
by offering 50 menu suggestions, helping new vegetarians avoid the
“plateful of sides” dilemma, and giving seasoned cooks new ideas for
entertaining. And she includes personal tips and a chapter on making
“the basics” from scratch.
Whether you are a committed vegetarian or an omnivore who enjoys hearty
meatless meals, Simply Satisfying may well become your most reliable,
trusted source of recipes to make again and again.
