alisarae 's review for:
The Weekday Vegetarians
by Jenny Rosenstrach
I wasn't particularly inspired by this book.
It's fine? But not anything you will be making for friends (hence the Weekday warning), and a lot of the suggestions appear kind of randomly tossed together. I'm sure they taste fine, it just looks haphazard. For example: Cobb Salad Pizza is everything minus the bacon on a pizza, including the romaine. Suggested Combo No 3 is bread, marinated beans, avocado toast, kale salad with cranberries, and burrata.
At the end of the book is a chart for meal ideas, organized by type of dish x main ingredient. For example: soup x butternut squash. Not all of the suggestions are recipes in the book, but it's a useful way of thinking about what to make and how to put the recipes to use.
Overall though, if you are looking for more vegetarian meals in your life, I would recommend [b:Milk Street Vegetables: 250 Bold, Simple Recipes for Every Season|57007712|Milk Street Vegetables 250 Bold, Simple Recipes for Every Season|Christopher Kimball|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1617652254l/57007712._SX50_.jpg|89199168] (more upscale) or [b:Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special: More Than 275 Recipes for Soups, Stews, Salads & Extras|198179|Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special More Than 275 Recipes for Soups, Stews, Salads & Extras|The Moosewood Collective|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388464767l/198179._SX50_.jpg|191704] (soup & salad meal pairings).
