Don't know what to make for dinner? Want more plants in your diet? Start with a vegetable! Professional meal planner Jessica Smith shows you how to follow that simple principle with minimal fuss and delicious results. Plan your next meal around favorites, such as carrots, cauliflower, or sweet potatoes, or try your hand at underused asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or kale, turning them into more than just side dishes. Transform corn into Elote Grilled Cheeses, cucumbers into No-Roll Sushi Bowls, tomatoes into Farro Caprese, spinach into Pesto Pasta, and even pack more veggies into pizza any day of the week. 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, from omnivores to vegans. This must-have cookbook provides all the expert guidance and practical tools that you need to make plant-powered cooking a reality: checklists, tips, variations, meal plans, and flowcharts to help you decide what to make. All you have to do is start with a vegetable.
