Start with a Vegetable is Jess Smith’s debut cookbook. This beautiful cookbook has 100 brand new weeknight-friendly recipes, each of them with a photograph taken by Jess.
This book’s flexitarian approach to dinner takes whatever vegetable you have on hand and gives you a variety of ways to turn that vegetable into dinner. The recipes include meat and fish, but each recipe also offers a simple vegetarian variation making it ideal for households that that have both vegetarians and meat-eaters or for anyone looking to just make meat less of a focus in their meals.
If you love the approach that Jess takes to making healthy, colorful dinners throughout the pages of this website and on Instagram, Start with a Vegetable is for you.
In addition to 100 new recipes with photos, what you’ll find inside is:
- expert guidance on meal planning and meal prep
- vegetarian variations on every recipe
- vegetable storage tips
- meal plans for every season (including QR codes to printable grocery lists!)
Transform corn into Elote Grilled Cheeses, spinach into Pesto Pasta, cucumbers into No-Roll Sushi Bowls, and tomatoes into Farro Caprese, and even add more veggies to pizza night. Recipes appear by cook and prep times so you can whip up something fast or enjoy more hands-on dishes for every kind of eater: omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. All you have to do is start with a vegetable.
