Naturally, Delicious Dinners

“If it looks good to you, make it for dinner tonight,” instructs Seo, editor-in-chief of the magazine Naturally, Danny Seo and host of the NBC show of the same name, in this appetizing collection of vegetarian dishes. Each recipe adheres to his ethos that meals should be “wholesome, healthy, and vegetarian,” with a limited number of ingredients that require minimal prep time. A wealth of appealing all-star veggie entrees are on offer—most notably poached eggs on black rice with spicy broccoli and kimchi, and lentil-walnut “meat” tacos—while a chapter devoted to “soup as a meal” is anchored by flavorful freezer-friendly fare including creamy cauliflower chowder, caramelized spring onion soup, and morning miso soup. For a quick and hearty meal, Seo’s delicious one-pot offerings boast such savory options as crispy tofu and cauliflower coconut curry, and jalapeno-cheddar grits with poached eggs, all of which are easy to double in order to feed a crowd. Ending on a sweet note, he presents a number of inventive desserts, including “sourdough eggos” with chocolate-drizzled frozen berries, and raw pumpkin cheesecake (“a dessert that looks like it took you forever to make but didn’t”). Those looking to take their veggie game to the next level will delight in this good-for-you collection. (Sept.)
