I also need the record to show that this recipe took only slightly longer than the predicted time– about 55 minutes to the predicted 40– which was an improvement in the right direction. In this genius new collection of vegetarian recipes, author Anna Jones tackles this common problem, making nourishing vegetable-centered food realistic on any day of the week. I often chose recipes based on how much energy or time I had and was frustrated when they took much longer to come together. In the spirit of full disclosure, I should tell you that I did not use any of the healthier options for the ingredients.This book is filled with vegetarian and vegan recipes and many of them are organized by how long it takes to cook. A Modern Way to Cook cements Anna's status as one of the most important cookbook authors focusing on vegetable-centered food. Kirstin: I think it’s great that we both bought a julienne peeler to make courgette spaghetti following her advice. On top of the tons of recipes, there are charts in the book that help provide countless options for making omelets, grain bowls, one pot meals, baked potato meals, one pot meals, salads, stir fry meals, breakfast smoothies, overnight oats and fruit desserts. When I recounted the experience to Kirstin, she reminded me of the chocolate cake they made last year out of the first cookbook and that didn’t work either.

The topping (peppers and onions fried in olive oil) and the salad (onion, tomatoes, parsley and spices) were a nice combination on top of the warm, freshly made Turkish bread.

It’s this intersection between wellness and deliciousness that I strive for with every plat of food I make to eat. Looking at this picture reminds me again why I loved this salad: Isn’t just a gorgeous collection of colourful virtuousness?

She continues …”It’s important to make a commitment to eating well, but it’s also important to be realistic…To me, eating well is far simpler than it is often made out to be. And with all the talk of health and wellness in the food industry, I think this sweet spot is becoming ever more important. This London-based author, together with publishers Ten Speed Press, have tailored this book to the American audience.I put them into the refrigerator and by the next day, the centre had firmed up enough that I could cut them into squares. Cooking a homemade meal is the single most important thing we can do for our well-being, because then we know exactly what is going into our bodies. The timings are rounded down a bit - you can't grate 4 courgettes, grill them for 20 minutes and then grill them for 10-15 more minutes, all in 30 minutes. This was the first time I’ve ever used tofu, despite having enjoyed our Meat Free Monday for several years now. When I went to cut into them, two hours after they came out of the oven, the middle was still a gooey, liquid mess.

Because the recipes are vegetable-based, I've eaten more veges by using these recipes - always a good thing. She uses plenty of textural differences--crunchy, like nuts, seeds or crispy fried veggies; and smashed, pureed and creamy, fresh, sauteed, boiled, roasted, broiled, braised. From my experience working in homes, schools, and kitchens, with kids, adults, parents, and lunch ladies, I know for a fact that sitting down to a nourishing home-cooked meal every day can have a massive impact on our minds, bodies, and overall happiness. At times, I felt that there were too many recipes, and that perhaps Anna Jones should have saved some for her next cookbook.

Overall it feels as though it has been put together too quickly and the recipes simply aren't as dependable as they should be.
