From veteran food writer, recipe developer, and creator of the
James Beard Award-winning Jarry magazine comes an innovative
approach to vegetarian cooking. What have I got to eat? It's a
question we ask every time we open up the refrigerator or pantry
door. It might be eggs, some cheese, and half a loaf of bread, or a
box of wilting greens, garlic, and some sweet potatoes. Though
these ingredients may not seem like much to make a delicious meal,
recipe developer and author Lukas Volger knows it's all you need.
In Start Simple he offers a radically new, uncomplicated, and
creative approach to cooking that allows you to use what you
already have on hand to make great meals you didn't think were
possible. Magic can happen with just a few ingredients: sweet
potatoes, tortillas, eggs, cabbage, hearty greens, beans, winter
squash, mushrooms, tofu, summer squash, and cauliflower. Volger
advises readers to stock up on these eleven building blocks instead
of shopping for a single recipe. A protein (tofu, beans, eggs) is a
foundation. A crunchy garnish (cabbage, greens) is a finishing
touch. Once these structural components of a meal are established,
home chefs can throw in their own variations and favorite
flavors-mixing, matching, and adding ingredients to customize their
dishes. While Start Simple is a vegetarian cookbook-none of the
recipes include meat-Volger's approach transcends categories. His
methods aren't about subscribing to a specific dietary regimen;
they are about simply recognizing and embracing the way people cook
and eat today. Creating weekly meal plans based on intricate
recipes sounds good, but it can be difficult to execute. Having a
well-stocked pantry paired with a choose-you-own adventure guide to
creating simple yet inventive meals is more practical for your
average home cook.
