Cookbook of the Month – September 2018

Been away from my cookbook recommendations for a minute but I have a question for you? Does Fall have you thinking about vegetables? My family enjoys vegetables all year long but when the weather starts to cool down I love veggies even more. Must be the savory flavors that can be added to Fall veggies and cooking in general. So I got to thinking about vegetarian dishes that can be eaten as main dishes or as a side. That leads to my Cookbook of the Month – September 2018, Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone by Deborah Madison. Filled with 1,400 recipes Deborah loves to cook. If you eat and strictly cook vegetarian, this cookbook is for you. Some recipes can be prepared if you eat vegan. However, for those of us with no particular eating style, you’ll fall in love with this award-winning chef and cookbook.

Let’s get to the nitty-gritty about why I love Deborah’s cooking. I chose to share this book at a time when vegetarian cooking is as popular as its ever been. I find cooking vegetarian allows such diversity when preparing meals. She opened my eyes to enjoying meals without meat. I’m a carnivore like many of you but I must have my vegetables, too. Doesn’t matter if you cook with meat, without meat occasionally or made a lifelong change. All you need to know is in this comprehensive cookbook.
