Meatless All Day: Recipes for Inspired Vegetarian Meals

Cheney’s latest cookbook is based on 45 “power” ingredients, including items such as avocadoes, pomegranate molasses, tempeh, feta cheese, eggs, and beets. The 80 recipes are broken into chapters by meal, and include innovative, fun meal ideas to get home cooks out of a rut, such as a Quartet of Tea Sandwiches, Zucchini Fritters with Fresh Mint and Pecorino, and Polenta Lasagna with Puttanesca Sauce and Herbed Ricotta. Numbered recipe steps, helpful headnotes with substitution ideas, and serving suggestions make for a well-rounded guide to vegetarian cooking. Aside from the omission of desserts, the title covers mouth-watering selections great for weekday and weekend cooking. (Mar.)
