Synopses & Reviews
Around Our Table is Sara Forte's third and most personal cookbook, combining her insights from years of cooking professionally and at home, creating recipes for her phenomenally popular site, Sprouted Kitchen, and launching the meal plan service, Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club. The result is a collection of 120 nourishing recipes that are flexible, unfussy and incredibly delicious.
Early mornings feature quick and nutritious meals like Banana Blender Pancakes and Overnight Oats, as well as options for more leisurely breakfasts like Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls and Crispy Cornmeal Waffles. Mushroom Quesadillas with Sunflower Seed Crema and Summer Panzanella Salad make for satisfying and healthy lunches, while Chicken Parmesan Meatballs or Tofu and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps are perfect, crowd-pleasing dinners. And for dessert, Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Bars or a Gingersnap Pumpkin Tart will satisfy any sweet tooth.
These are dishes thoughtfully designed for all of life's big moments; birthday celebrations, bridal showers, and meals that can be delivered to families with new babies, or sick relatives. Sara also shares her recipes for heavy-lifting sauces that can be incorporated into multiple meals, as well as tips for dinners that will travel well, freeze well, and feed a group.
Around Our Table embodies Sara's generous approach towards cooking, making it an indispensable resource for timeless, family-friendly meals you'll make again and again.
Review
"As a busy parent myself, this book is a breath of fresh air. It solves
the never-ending question: How do I get a nourishing meal on the table
night after night?! I love Sara's realistic approach to cooking, which
is fast and efficient enough for harried weeknights, along with other
recipes that require a bit more time for those slow weekend days. But
above all, these recipes aim to please the palates of selective young
eaters, while still keeping the grown-ups very happy and well fed
indeed." Sarah Britton, holistic nutritionist and author of My New Roots
