This just in: Eat Your Vegetables has been named among the best cookbooks of 2013 by The Atlantic, The Boston Globe, and NPR's "Here and Now"! It's a collection of eclectic vegetarian and vegan recipes for singles, vegetarians in meat-eating households, couples who are looking for creative side dishes, and anyone hungry for plant-focused, smaller-portion recipes, from the beloved Washington Post editor and author of Serve Yourself.

Whether you're a single vegetarian, an omnivore who's looking to incorporate more vegetables in your life, or a lone vegetarian in a meat-eating household, you know the frustrations of trying to shop, plan, and cook for one, two or a few. How to scale back recipes? What to do with the leftovers from jumbo-sized packs of ingredients? How to use up all the produce from your farmer's market binge before it rots?

There's no need to succumb to the frozen veggie burger. With Eat Your Vegetables, award-winning food editor of The Washington Post and author of the popular Weeknight Vegetarian column, Joe Yonan serves up a tasty book about the joys of solo vegetarian cooking. With 80 satisfying and globally-inspired vegetarian, vegan, and flexitarian recipes such as Spinach Enchiladas, Spicy Basil Tofu Fried Rice, and One-Peach Crisp with Cardamom and Honey, Yonan arms single vegetarians with easy and tasty meal options that get beyond the expected. In addition to Yonan's fail-proof recipes, Eat Your Vegetables offers practical information on shopping for, storing, and reusing ingredients, as well as essays on a multitude of meatless topics, including moving beyond mock meat and the evolution of vegetarian restaurants.

It's the perfect book for anyone looking to expand their vegetarian and produce-based repertoire -- even couples, as the dishes are easy to share and scale up. In Eat Your Vegetables, Yonan's charming, personable voice and unfussy cooking style encourage home cooks--both new and experienced--to take control in the kitchen and craft delicious veggie-centric meals for one.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It's not to be missed, even if you're not single or strictly vegetarian!"
-- Dana Velden, TheKitchn.com

"Simple, unexpected flavor combinations that pack a memorable punch. This book has seriously upgraded my weeknight meals."

-- Khushbu Shah, Saveur

"The greatly appealing dishes in this collection open up a whole new culinary world for veggie lovers."
-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Strong flavors and inventive combinations fill this collection to tempt all cooks, single or not. The utter lack of dogma in the book keeps the emphasis where it should be: on making delicious food."
-- Molly Watson, About.com

"'Bold' is the operative word. It's there in the strong cover design, and the title and subtitle, of course; in the way Yonan intersperses his recipes with personal essays; in the global reach of his flavors; in the confident voice that seems to say, Stick around, there's a lot to learn here -- whether you're cooking for one, two, or a few; going it alone as a vegetarian among carnivores; or just starting out as a cook of any sort."
-- Patricia Reilly, Epicurious.com

Great way to keep one of my New Year's resolutions for a few more days

January 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

One of my perennial resolutions is to eat more vegetables so I've been shopping around on Amazon for cookbooks with a focus on veggies. So far, I've made the corn, mushroom tart which was terrific, and the carrot soup with the quick pickled beets which was both unbelievably beautiful and tasted great. Another thing I like about this cookbook is that the recipes are scaled for a single person which is nice if you want to experiment, or you don't want to eat the same thing for days. This is a keeper and I may follow up by getting the paper version for my library as well.

Outstanding

January 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

Who would have thought that after 40 years of serious home cooking I would find so many recipes and food ideas that were simple, outrageously delicious, used easily available ingredients, and used ingredient combinations that I never thought of. For example, try Mr. Yonan's grilled cheese sandwich recipe which is available on the internet. Cheese, asian pear, kimchi, and of course bread. I love kimchi and grilled cheese sandwiches but never thought to put them together. The writing is great. Personal and informative. He encourages recipe modifications. And there is a section of deserts for one. I have avoided making deserts for a long time because weight control is important to me, and well, making a desert somehow seems to require making something like 8 servings. But Mr. Yonan has created tasty deserts that can be made for one. One warning. This is not a book for the timid palate. But if you are an adventurous eater this may become your favorite cookbook, whether you are a one person household or a many person household.

I was deeply disappointed when it arrived

April 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

I heard about this book while listening to Splendid Table. I was deeply disappointed when it arrived. For the first time I actually returned a book. First not that many recipes in the book. Secondly, as others pointed out many of the ingredients will not be found at the traditional grocery. Lastly, I found many of the recipes unnecessary. Why do they have a recipe for hard boiled eggs. It is a book on vegetables. And if I need a help on boiling an egg I will go to my standard food book. I want a book on cooking vegetables!! I will look elsewhere.

Getting braver with every recipe

November 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

More than 30 years ago, kimchi hurt me. At a high school party in Hawaii, thinking I was digging into iceberg lettuce covered in Catalina dressing, I took a big, fiery bite of homemade kimchi...and I've been scared to death of it ever since.

But Joe earned my trust with his previous cookbook, Serve Yourself, and in Eat Your Vegetables, there's all this rhapsodizing about something I'd thought of as stinky and evil...so I tried it in his Sweet Potato, Kimchi and Greens Hash.

Well, damn.

I haven't been a particularly adventurous cook, but Eat Your Vegetables is changing that. Kimchi, Marinated and Baked Tofu, Pepper-Crusted Tofu with Broccoli Stir-Fry, Baby Eggplant Parm...all of a sudden, I'm making these bold (as promised), beautifully seasoned, vegetarian recipes.

And with my big stash of homemade kimchi—seasoned to MY tolerance—I'm ready to take on the recipes for Grilled Kimcheese, Guaca-chi and Kimchi Deviled Eggs.

Deliciously Versatile Vegetarian Recipes

October 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

Another hit from Joe Yonan! I am an omnivore looking to add some interest to my already veg-heavy diet. A particular wish of mine is to make more cooked veggie items for lunches instead of buying expensive takeaway salads. This book is perfect for that.

If you do want meat, it is easy to add to many of the recipes (a few slices of bacon alongside the sweet potato, greens and kimchi hash for example). Unlike other vegetarian recipe collections, Eat Your Vegetables emphasizes just that - vegetables. While soy products make an appearance, Joe avoids commercially-made meat substitutes. Other proteins include eggs and cheese, which in many cases are easily omitted if you're vegan or simply don't like them. Joe also includes other suggestions to help out vegans (such as substituting miso for oyster and/or fish sauce).

Even more than in Serve Yourself, a great many of the recipes become components of other dishes and there are usually several options, e.g., for that big pot of tomato sauce you just made (I think it goes into as many as five other recipes, and of course you can use it on any pasta). As a result, my cooking sessions from this book have involved making several things for use in different ways throughout the week (hearty greens gave me a side to go with some sausage I already had, plus went into hash and the remainder in the freezer for the cheesy greens gratin and a few other things). Joe also continues the theme of how to use up or save leftovers and extras, which is extremely helpful if you're only cooking for one or two people but are stuck with grocery store bundles and packages designed for more.

It is also easy to double the recipes if, like me, you like to have leftovers handy for multiple meals or want to make a meal for two. As with Serve Yourself, I find that doubling the recipes gives me three and sometimes four small-moderate portions.

You will find new versions of "Classic Joe" dishes here, such as roasted sweet potatoes with various toppings - great for me as I love both recipes from Serve Yourself, additional riffs on kimchi, use of Asian and Southwestern US flavors/dishes and a wealth of interesting sandwiches (and I say this last as a non-sandwich person. Joe's sandwiches are always good). There is a lot brand new here as well, given the veggie focus, such as the savory tart ideas, nut butter and dried fruit sandwiches and additional desserts.

Finally, perhaps the thing I appreciate most about both of Joe's books is that he is the real deal (culinary school graduate, professional food writer) and I think that is why so many of his recipes turn out, for me anyway, to be the best version of whatever it is that I have cooked (hearty greens and tomato sauce with a kick being two examples from Eat Your Vegetables). While I have enjoyed recipes and cookbooks by others without that pedigree, I personally have found more "duds" among those collections and none among the many I have made from Joe's books. Similarly, unlike other "cooking for one" books, Joe's recipes are modern and innovative, even when they hearken back to American classic comfort food. Others in the genre seem to focus on scaling down, whereas Joe has really created an entirely new model (and yes, there are some politics around that BUT -- easy to disregard or, like me, you may devour the essays too, nodding all the while).

Can't recommend enough, especially for anyone who wants to expand veggie-eating. Helpful for smaller households, so no need to eat same thing 4 days in a row. Recipes easily doubled or tripled. Love this book, cooking my way through it, and my meat-eating audience has been very pleased. Your will appreciate this book.

Great starting point for anyone who enjoys reading recipes for inspiration. In fact the author encourages this practice. There are variations for many delicious and available vegetarian foods. The scaling down to service for one is also a welcome procedure.

Lots of kimchi, not so many vegetables.

May 26, 2016

Too much kimchi, not enough photos of the recipes. Essays throughout are a little much for a cookbook - all I wanted were recipes. For a book titled Eat Your Vegetables, there are an awful lot of vegetables omitted..
