Naturally Nourished

Starred review from December 19, 2016
Britton follows up her debut cookbook, My New Roots, with seasonally inspired weeknight meals. Each recipe is labeled with symbols delineating whether they are vegan, gluten-free, raw, or grain-free and has a box instructing the reader on how to “roll over” leftovers to make another night’s preparation easier. Chapters open with a “3 Ways” recipe that provides a simple base and can easily be switched up—for instance, stuffed sweet potatoes includes instructions for three different fillings: kale, feta, and pecans; broccoli and chickpeas; and spicy cabbage and black beans. Britton is known for her inventive vegetarian recipes and they are plentiful in this title, such as her North African sun-dried tomato soup. Presentation and garnishing are the author’s strong suit and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Photos.
