It’s so surreal to be sitting here writing this post. When we first started talking about this book (nearly 2 years ago!), the year 2016 felt like a lifetime away. It’s no joke, the process of publishing a book is LONG! But here we are – 120 recipes, roughly 300 photos and 1 broken dishwasher later – and it’s now available for preorder and will be out March 29th!
So what’s the book about? Simple, beautiful cooking with fresh seasonal ingredients. The recipe chapters are organized by vegetable so that your cooking inspiration can start where mine does – the farmer’s market, your CSA box, or sometimes even the contents of your fridge. The recipes are easy to make, and almost all of them use ingredients you’ll have on hand.
How do I know what you’ll have on hand? At the beginning of the book, I have a handy guide to keeping your pantry stocked, and most of the recipes in the book can be made with those ingredients. There’s also a section called “What to make with what you have” that offers creative tips for those times when your pantry isn’t entirely stocked. This is the way I cook every day and the book has a nice well-designed way of describing it.
I also have some mix-and-match sections at the end of the book for things like salsas, guacamole, pestos… because who wants just one option when you can have 4! And of course, the book is all vegetarian with many, many vegan and gluten-free options.
I hope most of all that this book not only gives you delicious recipes (Eggplant & Mushroom “Meatballs,” Veggie Ceviche, and Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are some of my favorites!), but also gives you some inspiration to play around in your own kitchen.

Hi Rita, I just added some European links (up in the post)… will Amazon Spain or Book Depository ship to you?
I don’t know about Amazon Spain, but Book Depository is where I usually buy my books. 😀 Great, thanks! xo
Congratulations, Jeanine. The book looks absolutely beautiful. This was a monumental task and Dad and I are so proud of you.
I love it! So beautiful!
Congratulations on your book! I have received so much value from your blog – I just had to order your book. Can’t wait

I am so looking forward to your first book — with so many cookbooks being written I’ve learned to become extremely picky — and this is one I definitely want to add to my library!
Just preordered! This looks like a book that will fill a huge hole in my cookbook library!
Your book looks amazing! Will it be available in the UK at some point?

Pre-ordering! Thank you!
This book is absolutely beautiful. Tasty recipes, but are visual (food is visual!) and easy to follow. I received a Barnes & Noble giftcard for Christmas, I can’t wait to use it on this!!
It looks beautiful! I can’t wait for it to arrive! I preordered my copy a little bit ago. So excited to see these sneak peeks of the inside! ?
aw, thank you Laura!
Congratulations! Your blog is one that I return to again and again for recipe inspiration. Thank you for creating such simple & delicious recipes that always brighten our table. I will definitely be buying your cookbook!

A no brainer; I don’t have to think twice before ordering this 🙂
thanks Kayla!
GUYS THIS IS GORgeous! Can’t wait to get our hands on it. Bravo!
Was thinking over the weekend I wanted to order this, so just did. I would like to get down to just two or three go-to cookbooks, and think this will be one of them. Appreciate all aspects of your work – focus on the veggie or food in hand, few ingredients, simple preparation, colorful, healthy, and flavorful. Thank you!
Thank you! Those are the things I go for when I make recipes, I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying them!
Preordered! I LOVE that Salsa page – so awesome, looking forward to this.
Congratulations! I already love the sound of this book and can’t wait to see it in person!
xx, Caitlin
