The Weekday Vegetarians Get Simple: Strategies and So-Good Recipes to Suit Every Craving and Mood by Jenny Rosenstrach

Jenny Rosenstrach’s bestselling cookbook, The Weekday Vegetarians, introduced home cooks to the idea that you don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat like one. In Get Simple, she shares 100 new recipes that make eating meat-free even easier, even tastier.
 
Jenny focuses on solutions to common misconceptions and roadblocks—like “Vegetarian cooking is so complicated!” which she counters with the skillet and sheet pan dinner chapter and recipes like a cozy Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Butternut Squash. Or, “Vegetarian dinners just aren’t filling!” which became the comfort food chapter, rich with recipes for hearty dishes like a Golden Greens Pie and Mushroom-Chard Bread Pudding. And, “I don’t want to eat pasta every single night!” as a driver for showcasing dinner-worthy bowls like Crispy Eggplant Bowls with Pistachios & Basil and Farro Piccolo with Crispy Mushrooms & Parm. 
 
If you’re new to eating less meat and need an easy “just start here” option, go straight to Jenny’s vegetarian starter kit that mixes and matches 15 ingredients into 8 different meals, from Carbonara with Cabbage & Miso to Tostada with Eggs & Pickled Onions. And like in her first Weekday Vegetarians cookbook, home cooks will find a whole new battery of hooks, sauces, and sides that will leave you loving your meat-free nights.
