Fresh Food Fast: Delicious, Seasonal Vegetarian Meals in Under an Hour

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This is an amazing cookbook. Filled with delicious, fool-proof recipes and wholesome ingredients, “Fresh Food Fast” has become a regular part of our work-week routine. Though we try to do most of our cooking over the weekend (reheating meals during the week), there are invariably nights when we prefer to cook something fresh after a long day at work. This book gives us a wide array of options arranged by season, from black bean & zucchini quesadillas to bruschetta with goat cheese, olive, tomatoes and thyme. This past Friday we made Berley’s ‘Thai-Style Tofu & Vegetables in Spicy Coconut Broth with Jasmine Rice’ - it was divine. We felt like we’d been transported to a gourmet, five star Thai restaurant, only we had the pleasure of enjoying such a satisfying meal in our comfy clothes. :) The only downside to this book is that most dishes require a hefty amount of produce, which, admittedly, can get expensive. Nevertheless dishes in this book are so delicious that careful planning can work around this, using leftover produce in other meals and reheating uneaten portions later in the week. Overall I love this book - how could I not appreciate the feat of satisfying, perfectly flavored meals that can be made in under an hour? (And yes, they really can be finished in under 1 hour, many in under 40 minutes.)
