Our family has been trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our rotation.
And if you are like me, you realize that doing this can be hard. In my family, I have a lactose-intolerant husband and two kids under the age of 10 who are vocally-picky eaters.
And my other issue – finding all the ingredients at one grocery store. While I am an adventurous cook, the thought of having to make a special trip to the Asian Market for mushrooms usually means a recipe will not be on the meal planning list for the week.
So, I was so thrilled when I opened Mary McCartney’s cookbook “Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking“. It is a vegetarian cookbook that is true to home cooking (aka using things from your pantry and freezer).
Mary takes her vegetarian cue and home cooking spin from her mom Linda (yes, this is a semi-celebrity cookbook, since Paul is her dad). But it is Mary’s ability to create recipes that use ingredients from your pantry, your freezer, and a quick trip to the produce aisle that make this cookbook different.
In fact, her quote at the beginning of the cookbook resonated with me so much, “I like uncomplicated cooking, so usually it needs to be kept quite simple and not too time-consuming.”
The pictures are gorgeous. The ingredients simple. The directions clear. And the food basic and satisfying.
If you are looking for a good home-cooking vegetarian cookbook, you might want to check out Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking.
And because I have a cookbook addiction, and want everyone to share in it (because it makes it less of addiction if you have friends), I’m giving away (1) Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking cookbook to a KCM Reader.

My boys enjoy tofu grilled burritos: all the ingredients of chicken burritos, but with cut up firm tofu instead. They say they are “the best burritos”… and they never know the difference.

My favorite vegetarian dish was a curry made with 3 kinds of beans. I got the recipe from Recipes For a Small Planet book but I lost it long ago and have never been able to find it again.
