Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 150 simply yet abundantly flavorful recipes for irresistible Mediterranean vegetarian dishes you can enjoy at home. Aglaia Kremezi, who first introduced Greek cooking to an American audience with her award-winning book The Foods of Greece, leads a cook’s tour of the entire Mediterranean with Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts. Realizing that so many of the traditional dishes of the Mediterranean diet are naturally meat-free, Kremezi has collected 150 simple yet abundantly flavorful recipes that will appeal to even the most ardent carnivore. Opening with detailed descriptions of essential ingredients and the basic preparations that make the most of seasonal shopping at farmers’ markets, she takes us from meze and soups to mains and desserts, with dishes like Toasted Red Lentil and Bulgar Patties; Roasted Cauliflower with Zahter Relish; Pseudo-Moussaka (a meatless version of the classic); Quince Stuffed with Wheat Berries, Nuts, and Raisins; and Rose Petal and Yogurt Mousse. Kremezi’s arsenal of master recipes for spice, nut, and herb mixtures, sauces, jams, and pastes inspired by eastern Mediterranean and North African traditions transform even the humblest vegetable or grain into an irresistible dish. Praise for Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts “Aglaia Kremezi’s fine sense of flavor and seasonality is captured in this beautiful celebration of Mediterranean cooking. In these thoughtfully considered recipes, her deep understanding of vegetables, fruits, and herbs is paired with a respect for tradition and place—and the results are universally delicious.” —Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse and author of The Art of Simple Food “A teacher, a cook, a master storyteller, and a friend: Aglaia is all of these things to me, my team, and so many others. Her generous spirit is alive in this book. And now, more than ever, her amazing look at the rich and robust vegetables at the heart of Mediterranean cooking could not be more important. Everyone wants to eat smart, healthy, and always with lots of flavor!”—José Andrés, chef/owner of ThinkFoodGroup including Zaytinya, Jaleo, and The Bazaar by José Andrés

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh out of college, Gesshin Claire Greenwood found her way to a Buddhist monastery in Japan and was ordained as a Buddhist nun. Zen appealed to Greenwood because of its all-encompassing approach to life and how to live it, its willingness to face life’s big questions, and its radically simple yet profound emphasis on presence, reality, the now. At the monastery, she also discovered an affinity for working in the kitchen, especially the practice of creating delicious, satisfying meals using whatever was at hand — even when what was at hand was bamboo. Based on the philosophy of oryoki, or “just enough,” this book combines stories with recipes. From perfect rice, potatoes, and broths to hearty stews, colorful stir-fries, hot and cold noodles, and delicate sorbet, Greenwood shows food to be a direct, daily way to understand Zen practice. With eloquent prose, she takes readers into monasteries and markets, messy kitchens and predawn meditation rooms, and offers food for thought that nourishes and delights body, mind, and spirit.

Book excerpt: Any meal is only as good as the company with whom it's shared, which is why this book unites food and its local community. This cookbook is a celebration of shared homes and their most iconic dishes--the food designed to feed the crowd, without breaking the bank or spending hours in the kitchen. It is a book about community, warmth, love, and the unique connection of a nurturing home, where shared meals are central to the environment. Plus, without getting preachy or "clean 'n green eating" about it, all the recipes in the book are vegetarian and vegan. The eight chapters are captured in different share houses throughout the sunshiny inner suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. Each chapter has a distinct theme, as dictated by the culinary skills of those living in the featured house: a breakfast-spread menu; hungover brunch; a leisurely long lunch; eat it with your hands; a Mexican-inspired feast; a Mediterranean dinner party; pasta night; and comfort-food spread. Through its clean and bright photography--all taken by Clare's own friends and roommates--The Shared Table is simultaneously luxe and sincere. It's a warm and inviting cookbook that every share house needs on their communal bookshelf.
