Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: "Marie Simmons makes books that make people want to cook." —New York Post Advance Praise for Fresh & Fast Vegetarian "Marie Simmons works her magic without fuss or fanfare. Put yourselves in her capable hands, and all will go well in your kitchen, meal after delicious meal." —Mollie Katzen, author, The New Moosewood Cookbook "When I started reading Fresh & Fast Vegetarian, I thought Id find some vegetarian dishes to serve my carnivorous family once a week, but Ive discovered tons of tasty, easy ways to get vegetables into them every night. Whether you are a vegetarian, a vegan, or just someone who wants to eat more vegetables, this is the book for you." —Sara Moulton, author, Sara Moultons Everyday Family Dinners "Im known as a meaty guy, but I dont live on meat alone. When Im looking for exciting vegetable dishes from all around the globe, I turn to Fresh & Fast Vegetarian. The recipes are always reliable and deliver such sensational tastes that I dont even miss my meat." —Bruce Aidells, co-author, The Complete Meat Cookbook and host, Good Cookin with Bruce Aidells The winner of a Julia Child Award and two James Beard Awards, Marie Simmons is a cooking teacher and the author of more than a dozen cookbooks, including Sur La Tables Things Cooks Love, The Good Egg, and 365 Ways to Cook Pasta. Review:"Simmons, a James Beard Award — winning cooking teacher and former Bon Appetit columnist, describes herself as 'mostly vegetarian.' In her newest book (after Things Cooks Love) she presents more than 150 meat-free recipes (including many vegan entries), from soups and salads to main dishes and sides. Each features a suggestion for how to make a meal that includes the dish — for example, with curried quinoa and apple salad with dried cranberries, she suggests serving her red lentil soup with coconut milk and toasted cumin. Recipes do live up to the book's title: they feature fresh ingredients and they can be made quickly, generally in 30 to 45 minutes. And while they aren't exactly groundbreaking, the recipes — such as double-corn and jalapeno polenta gratin; roasted sweet potatoes topped with black bean chili, and a chickpea spread made with pomegranate molasses — are definitely appealing, and a notch or two more interesting and sophisticated than standard vegetarian fare. She doesn't fill space with dessert recipes, but instead focuses on savory foods that would work well for reasonably quick weeknight dinners, making this a practical resource for those who want to add more easy meatless options to their repertoire.
