Love and Lemons: Simple Feel Good Food

Love and Lemons is back with make-now and make-ahead vegetarian recipes for every kind of cook.

    Over the years, Jeanine Donofrio’s wildly popular Love and Lemons recipes and her bestselling books have become the go-to gold standard for incredibly simple, deeply flavorful, and nourishing vegetarian meals. From the feedback she’s gotten from her enormously engaged online community, she’s sussed out that her fans all love her fast, veggie-first approach to recipes that fit into their busy lives and make them feel good. But they also fall into two camps of home cooks: those who keep a folder of go-to recipes they can easily make right now, and those who like to plan ahead. Love and Lemons: Simple Feel-Good Food caters to both (and to those of us who toggle back and forth).

    Each chapter—Breakfasts, Salads, Soups and Stews, Dinners, and Desserts—is divided into two parts: one for recipes you can make with minimal prep and ingredients, and the second for food you can prepare ahead of time, such as the perfect lasagna (with ideas for changing up the layers) and packable salads. Every recipe is supplemented by Donofrio’s trusted tips and flow charts that offer easy visuals on how to reuse, mix, and match ingredients for fresh, must-eat dishes, whether you’re reusing ingredients or not. With recipes for Eat-the-Rainbow Blender Soups, a Mix-and-Match Tahini Cookies section, charts for satisfying grain bowls, and 3-in-1 recipes (three dinner dishes to make with one whole vegetable), Love and Lemons: Simple Feel-Good Food is a treasure trove of inspiring and easy ways to get delicious food on the table.
