The instant New York Times bestseller

Named a Best Cookbook of 2024 by NPR, VegNews, and The Portland Press Herald

A groundbreaking and comprehensive “vegan flavor bible”—with 150 must-make recipes—from the wildly popular home cook and creator behind Rainbow Plant Life

With more than two million devoted fans online, Nisha Vora has become the trusted source for exceptional vegan recipes for the home cook. That’s because of her “flavor first” philosophy. It's an approach she’s honed nearly a decade creating plant-based dishes that just plain taste amazing, labels aside. Now she’s created an essential, comprehensive guide that codifies the principles of plant-based cooking for the first time, from how to coax the most out of your ingredients and how to understand essential flavor pairings, to how to achieve impossible-to-resist, must-have-more textures and embrace the myriad ways vegetables can be enjoyed: roasted, caramelized, braised, pampered in bold marinades and umami-rich sauces, and so much more.

As Nisha demonstrates in this groundbreaking book, the creative possibilities are endless thanks to the rich variety in the plant-based kingdom and the infinite and exciting ways there are to achieve big flavor.

This book illuminates not only the how, but the why of these fundamental principles so that anyone can boost their confidence and reach their full, plant-savvy potential in the kitchen—whether they like to rotate in a few veggie meals a week, or they are experienced home cooks looking for next-level, wow-worthy meals. With more than 150 globally-inspired recipes, easy “flavor boosters” that add depth or pop to all kinds of dishes, simple swaps for whatever you’re craving or have on-hand, make ahead tips, and more, Big Vegan Flavor is packed with ideas and inspiration. Each recipe offers a quick tutorial: Dishes like Miso Butter-Seared King Oyster Scallops will teach you how to brine plants until perfectly tender. Chai-Spiced Custard Tart with Mango will open your eyes to the power of a good spice blend and a sweet-tangy, creamy-crunchy dessert. Or use Nisha’s favorite protein, grains, and sauce recipes to create mix-and-match meals that always excite.

A timely and visionary cookbook, Big Vegan Flavor is destined to become a classic.

The beloved blogger and author of The Pretty Dish makes meal prep simple with 100 recipes that offer what we all want: more time to enjoy a delicious meal with our loved ones.

“I’m (selfishly) so glad Jessica Merchant has used her endless talent for creating unfussy, airtight recipes for accessible meals in a new cookbook for us because I immediately want to make everything.”—Deb Perelman, author of Smitten Kitchen Keepers

Jessica Merchant, creator of the popular recipe and lifestyle site How Sweet Eats, gets asked almost every day by fans: How do I put food on the table in a way that doesn't break the bank and doesn't make me stressed and anxious? In Easy Everyday, Jessica unlocks the secret to efficiently getting meals on the table that are nutritious, delicious, creative, and low maintenance. She’s realized that although we’re asking for stress-free ways to cook meals, we’re ultimately asking for a happy table, a place to create memories with our loved ones over a delicious meal.

All 100 recipes keeps the reader out of the kitchen and spending more time with the people they love. Meal planning tips and tricks abound, with ingredients chosen for ease of preparation, versatility, and leftover quality. Jessica shares her ten-minute meal prep strategy to create easy, healthy, satisfying meals, lunches, and snacks to have throughout the day, such as Crispy Baked Breakfast Quesadillas, Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cups, Cherry Jalapeno Chicken Salad, Lemon Spaghetti with Roasted Chickpeas and Cilantro Lime Sheet Pan Fajitas.

A celebration of mindful snacking with more than 75 recipes well worth nibbling on, whether you’re eating for one or entertaining a group of friends—from the author of Graze.
 
“Suzanne does ‘girl dinner’ one better with Peckish, a charming collection of not-quite-meals that perfectly satisfy the way we want to eat today.”—Giada De Laurentiis

“My favorite food experiences are very often over the kitchen counter or standing midway between the sink and the stove, so caught up in the chat at hand that simmering pots are neglected and salad dressings are left half-made. What’s come to me at last is that many of the most compelling discussions and deepest fits of laughter happen in between the making and the meal itself. These moments are perfect because they have all the features one hopes for in the feast without the organization, orchestration, and, yes, exhaustion. So why not liberate ourselves and embrace the truth? So often it’s the snacks, the tastes in between, that make our hearts race.”
 
Mindful snacking (and home cooking) is the philosophy that food stylist and author Suzanne Lenzer nurtures in her own life and shares here with us. Who doesn’t love standing in front of a full fridge wondering what to pull out for a covert snack? Eating is simply more fun when we have a few choices and are free to eat how we like, not simply how we’ve been conditioned. 
 
But don’t fret, thoughtful snacking is not complicated nor does it require long days spent at the stove. And while it does require a modicum of planning, the benefits exponentially outweigh the effort. Thoughtful snacking is also about moving beyond boards and platters when we entertain, by adding dimension to the table, both in what we serve and how we serve it.
 
Peckish is divided into charming chapters sorted by vessel—such as On Toast, In Jars, Skewers and Sticks, In Bowls, Napkins Only, and more—so that the home cook can plan their snacking night with ease.
