NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TIME OUT AND TASTE OF HOME . "Whether you're vegetarian or not (or somewhere in-between), these recipes are fit to become instant favorites in your kitchen!" -Molly Yeh, Food Network host and cookbook author
Jenny Rosenstrach, creator of the beloved blog Dinner- A Love Story and Cup of Jo columnist, knew that she wanted to eat better for health reasons and for the planet but didn't want to miss the meat that she loves. But why does it have to be all or nothing? She figured that she could eat vegetarian during the week and save meaty splurges for the weekend. The Weekday Vegetarians shows readers how Jenny got her family on board with a weekday plant-based mentality and lays out a plan for home cooks to follow, one filled with brilliant and bold meat-free meals.
Curious cooks will find more than 100 recipes (organized by meal type) for comforting, family-friendly foods like Pizza Salad with White Beans, Cauliflower Cutlets with Ranch Dressing, and Squash and Black Bean Tacos. Jenny also offers key flavor hits that will make any tray of roasted vegetables or bowl of garlicky beans irresistible-great things to make and throw on your next meal, such as spiced Crispy Chickpeas (who needs croutons?), Pizza Dough Croutons (you need croutons!), and a sweet chile sauce that makes everything look good and taste amazing. The Weekday Vegetarians is loaded with practical tips, techniques, and food for thought, and Jenny is your sage guide to getting more meat-free meals into your weekly rotation.
Who knows? Maybe like Jenny's family, the more you practice being weekday vegetarians, the more you'll crave this food on the weekends, too!

"You don't need to be a vegetarian to eat like one! With over 100 recipes, the New York Times bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story and her family adopt a "weekday vegetarian" mentality. In her newest cookbook, creator of the beloved website Dinner: A Love Story and Cup of Jo columnist Jenny Rosenstrach writes about being a "weekday vegetarian," i.e. eating a vegetable-based diet during the week and saving meaty splurges for the weekend.

Library Journal Review
A new cookbook about reducing a household's meat consumption, by Bon Appétit "The Providers" columnist Rosenstrach (also the author of the cookbook Dinner: The Playbook and the popular blog Dinner: A Love Story). Recipes adhere to the author's desire to create creative meals for people who may not have much time to spend in the kitchen. Overall, the book is geared more towards curious or reluctant vegetarians than established ones. Still, the enticing mix of casually elegant recipes (e.g., Rosenstrach's Stewy Black Lentils with Chard and Feta; cauliflower cutlets with romesco sauce) will appeal to a variety of readers, from carnivores to vegans. VERDICT Rosenstrach knows how to craft an excellent cookbook: recipes are beautifully photographed; instructions are clear; and options for ingredients allow for flexibility. This already best-selling volume will draw in Rosenstrach's existing fans and find new ones.--Meagan Storey, Virginia BeachPublishers Weekly Review
"With a little planning... it's possible to cut back on meat and not eat cornflakes every night," writes Dinner: A Love Story blogger Rosenstrach (How to Celebrate Everything) in this inviting guide to going meatless five nights a week. Most of her riffable recipes come in "the format of a pizza, bowl, taco, pasta, salad, sandwich, or soup--all vehicles for dishes I know my family will like," and each is prefaced with a mix-and-match meal chart organized around various veggies. Canned beans, store-bought pizza dough, and packaged corn tortillas and cooked beets are staples she employs to keep cooking times in check. Of her "Seven Rules to Remember When Going Vegetarian," the most strategic is the use of "hooks" to enhance what's on the plate; this can be warm yogurt flatbread to accompany curried red lentils or Rosenstrach's oregano and olive oil pizza dressing for topping salads and savory pies. Recipes are often accompanied by tips and tricks, such as adding a quick side of marinated beans to her Greenest Pasta "if you are missing a protein hit," or stirring porcini powder into fried rice for some "meatiness." This mightily proves that vegetarian cooking is not only approachable, but fun. (Aug.)Author notes provided by Syndetics
