The Fresh & Green Table, by Susie Middleton (Chronicle Books, 2012), Paperback ($24.95)

398419_3289921405726_582422430_nThis popular follow-up to Susie’s first book, Fast, Fresh & Green (see below), moves veggies to the center of the plate. Keeping in mind that everyone (not just vegetarians) wants to eat more vegetables, these delicious recipes are organized by the kind of main dishes everyone wants to eat: soups, salads, pizzas, tarts, gratins, egg dishes, grain dishes, sautés, and more. With delicious veggie “main-dishes,” there’s no reason you can’t have a smaller portion of meat on the “side” if you’re an omnivore!

Sample recipes: Greek-Spinach Salad Pasta with Feta, Olives, Artichokes & Pepperoncini; Chile Rice with Green Beans and Toasted Pecans; Potato Carpaccio Pizza; Nine-Layer Grilled Vegetable Salad;  Mediterranean Tomato, Zucchini and Bell Pepper Tian; Sizzling Veggie Fried Rice. Susie’s signature detailed recipes (they work!) illustrate great basic techniques that you can take away and use to create your own veggie mains if you like.

Like Susie’s first book, The Fresh & Green Table was chosen as an NPR top pick of the summer in 2012 and went on to be featured in multiple media spots.
