“A Modern Way to Cook cements Anna’s status as one of the most important cookbook authors focusing on vegetable-centered food. These recipes are bright, bold, and bursting with flavor, and they will surely move vegetarian cookery further from the margins and closer to the center of our culinary consciousness.”
