A Modern Way to Cook: 150+ Vegetarian Recipes for Quick, Flavor-Packed Meals [A Cookbook]

Product Information

What you top your pizza with is a personal thing: I have suggested my favourites at the bottom in my ‘flavour map’ – the base, the cheese, the hero vegetable, the top note. I only allow myself to formally review cookbooks that are more biography or travelogue with a few recipes thrown in. But I just wanted to point out a couple of things I noticed, other than the impossibly short cooking times: This pasta is a complete revelation. The sauce is made from the pasta water and tomatoes and the pasta cooks all in one pan. No fuss, one pan and a killer bowl of pasta.

Fill and boil a kettle and get all your ingredients and equipment together. You need a large shallow pan with a lid. Set the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Put the tomatoes on a large baking tray, and season. Scatter over the garlic cloves, thyme sprigs and bay leaves, then transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes, or until the tomato skins are lightly charred and split. The key to this recipe is to measure your water carefully and to use the right pan: you need
a shallow sauté pan or a casserole large enough to fit the pasta lying down, but not too deep. A Modern Way to Cook cements Anna’s status as one of the most important cookbook authors focusing on vegetable-centered food. These recipes are bright, bold, and bursting with flavor, and they will surely move vegetarian cookery further from the margins and closer to the center of our culinary consciousness.”

A modern way to cook

A Modern Way to Eat: Over 200 Satisfying, Everyday Vegetarian Recipes (That Will Make You Feel Amazing) This is a complete, all around manual for making interesting, original, delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals every day of the year. Highly Recommended. Put the flour, baking powder and water into the food processor with a good pinch of salt and 1 tbsp olive oil, then pulse until the dough comes together in a ball.

So you grab a "handful" of coconut flakes--would that be a 6-foot tall man's hand or a 4-foot tall woman's?--but you use exactly 1 Tbsp of maple syrup and 1 tsp paprika. I find that unbearably annoying--be loose or be exact, but not at the same time! Blitz the cauliflower in a food processor until it has a fine, rice-like texture. Put it into a mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, oats, oregano, salt and pepper, and mix with your hands. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs. Mix it all together, then use your hands to form the lot into a ball. It will be a little wetter and less firm than a traditional pizza dough. A Modern Way to Eat is a gorgeous revelation of a book. Vegetarian food that feels exciting and vibrant, by an author who writes and cooks with authenticity and passion. I will be buying it for everyone.’ The authors’ recipes have easy to follow instructions. Most recipes have several ingredients listed that can be found in most grocery stores. Above most recipes the author talks about the dish you are about to make. I found this interesting. I also liked that the author included a chard that tells the reader of other ingredients that can be substituted. It allows the reader to be creative in making the recipe.

More and more people are looking to include vegetarian recipes in their life beyond a mushroom risotto or yet another red onion and goat’s cheese tart. Meanwhile, remove any tough stalks from the kale and shred the leaves. Once the pasta has had 6 minutes, add the shredded kale and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes. A Modern Way to Cook is so full of fresh ideas that I stopped turning down the corners of the recipes I wanted to make when I realized it was pretty much the whole book. From the simple to the more complex recipes, this is a good book for all days of the week.”

A group of fashionable young women in Britain are making a career of promoting healthy eating, including Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, Amelia Freer, Anna Jones and Natasha Corrett. The Guardian has called them ‘the queens of greens’; The Telegraph named them ‘the superfoodies.’ One could also think of them as the Daughters of Nigella, the logical successors to Nigella Lawson.” The kind of cook who makes you want to eat vegetarian food even if you aren't vegetarian ... Anna's skill is that she manages to make veggie food simple and super desirable, so even if you're a staunch meat-eater, you won't feel like you're missing out' GraziaGuiding you through the year, from the coldest winter days to the long light summer evenings, The Modern Cook’s Year is set to become a contemporary classic. PRAISE FOR ANNA JONES Jones’s appeal lies in the very tangible depths of flavour and wealth of texture at work in her dishes. So much so that their vegetarian nature passes you by, its simple, wonderful workable food that will undoubtedly make people happy…Anna Jones, you queen of greens, you’ve only gone and done it again.’ I’ve made several wonderful tasting recipes from this author last book titled, “A Modern Way to Eat,” I was thrilled to see she had another book out. I also like the philosophy in which this author views food and health. She states, “I want standout, delicious food that leaves me feeling energized, light, bright, and satisfied. It’s this intersection between wellness and deliciousness that I strive for with every plat of food I make to eat. And with all the talk of health and wellness in the food industry, I think this sweet spot is becoming ever more important. Wellness doesn’t come at the expense of deliciousness.” I read the book and I tried a recipe. Oh my. We are talking flavor, folks, and it isn't the kind of amazing flavor that fades once you start considering the harm you are doing to your body from the actual sugar, salt, and fat that often comes with those huge flavor sensations. No, this is intense flavor and it's the Good Jedi kind. I really like this one a lot! Everything's organized by the amount of time it takes to make, starting with 15 minutes (I can handle that!), and ending with 40-45 minutes, which I definitely like. Yay for knowing up front how long something should take to cook! Yay for having things in here that you can cook that fast!
