Description

In her newest cookbook, creator of the beloved website Dinner: A Love Story and Cup
of Jo columnist Jenny Rosenstrach writes about being a “weekday vegetarian,” i.e.
eating a vegetable-based diet during the week and saving meaty splurges for the
weekend. One day, it hit Rosenstrach like a lightning bolt: She and her family needed
to eat less meat–for their health and for the greater good of the environment. The
Weekday Vegetarians shows readers how she got her family on board with meat-free
meals. She uses “Hooks” that make any vegetarian dish irresistible–like spiced Crispy
Chickpeas, Pizza Dough Croutons, and Sweet Chili Glaze; “Next-Level Sauces” like
Vegan Caesar, Shakedown Pesto, and Yogurt-Harissa; and “Side Dishes That Make
Everything Special” like Yogurt Flatbread.
Organized by meal type, The Weekday Vegetarians offers one hundred recipes like
Pizza Salad with White Beans in the Bowls & Salads chapter, Cauliflower Cutlets with
Ranch Dressing in the chapter Skillet Mains, and Squash and Black Bean Tacos in the
Tacos & Tortillas chapter, with excellent and practical tips, and food for thought written
in her engaging, witty, and relatable voice. And who knows–maybe like Jenny’s family,
the more you practice being “weekday vegetarians,” the more you will notice
plant-based eating creeping into your weekends
