Cooking Vegetarian: 2,600+ Recipes
Perfect vegetarian sushi rice comes down to two unglamorous things: the right short-grain rice and slightly less water than you'd normally use — 2½ cups minus 3 tablespoons (45 ml / 1.5 fl oz), exactly. Then the vinegar dressing, folded in while the rice is warm....
The secret to perfect sushi rice dressing is that there's barely anything to it: rice vinegar, fine unrefined sugar, and salt, warmed together until they dissolve, then folded gently through warm rice. That gentleness is the actual secret — sushi rice is...
Simple whole wheat pizza dough asks for fifteen minutes of hands-on time and six pantry ingredients, and the water temperature is the one place to be precise — around 115°F (46°C) wakes the yeast without scalding it. The rest is rising and waiting. Friday pizza night...
Easy homemade vegetarian tomato sauce in 35 minutes tastes like it simmered all afternoon, and the reason is technique, not time: fry the tomato paste until it darkens and the whole pot deepens. Two cans of no-salt tomatoes put you in charge of seasoning. Double it,...
The creamiest homemade Greek-style yogurt is one ingredient and half a day of waiting: plain low-fat yogurt strained until it's thick enough to stand a spoon in. There's no cooking, no culture wrangling, no thermometers. The whey that drains off is a bonus,...

Rich and creamy vegan pumpkin nog coats the spoon the way eggnog should — arrowroot and pumpkin puree handle the body, maple syrup and warm spices handle the rest. It cooks in three minutes on the stove and then it's yours, warm or chilled. Optional rum for the...
This sparkling raspberry kombucha mocktail is my zero-proof party trick: tart raspberry juice, lemon, a couple dashes of bitters, and kombucha topped with sparkling water. Frozen raspberries float in as edible ice cubes that blush the drink as they thaw. Ten minutes,...
Fennel smashed Yukon gold potatoes are mashed potatoes with a secret: a bulb of fennel cooked down and folded in, so every bite carries a faint anise sweetness under the rich potato. The method matters as much as the ingredients — dry the potatoes, skip the blender....
Mom's holiday warm sauerkraut turns the jarred stuff into something spoonable and almost sweet: onions caramelized properly, caraway bloomed in olive oil, a can of tomatoes, and a pinch of unrefined sugar to take the edge off. Thirty minutes, and it makes the...
Hearty lentil and wild rice loaf slices cleanly, and that's not a small thing in the vegetarian loaf genre — the wild rice keeps every bite interesting while the eggs or egg replacer hold it together. Tomato paste and Bragg's build the savory depth. Ninety...
