Meatless, Our Latest Cookbook of The Best Vegetarian Recipes!
I am very proud and happy to introduce our latest (number 78!) cookbook, Meatless, a collection of more than 200 of the very best vegetarian recipes. Why vegetarian? Well, numerous studies have shown that you can reduce the risks of cancer, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes by consuming more vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, and by eating fewer meats. Over the past several years, I myself, have had a gradual trending towards less and less meat, even less and less fish. Now I rely so much on other sorts of protein, on many vegetables, most of them farm raised, and on fruits and pastas. My shift has been the result of many things–books like Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals, films such as Food Inc., and my very own observations of factory farms, feed lots, fish farms, and the condition of the meats and fish sold in many of our supermarkets. Beyond the myriad health benefits, going meatless (even just once a week) means being mindful of the environment. With Meatless, my colleagues and I offer you healthy, eco-conscious, and, above all, tasty recipes for every meal.
1 This is the cover of our latest cookbook, Meatless, a collection of more than 200 of the very best vegetarian recipes.
2 Bean-and-Vegetable Sliders are mini veggie burgers that take their cue from the flavors of Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, with carrot, broccoli, ginger, garlic, and cilantro added to the patties and chile-spiked mayonnaise and mango used as toppings.
3 Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Grapes with Walnuts - The brussels sprouts and grapes are roasted and then drizzled with balsamic vinegar to incorporate the flavorful bits from the bottom of the baking sheet and then topped with toasted walnuts.
4 Warm Edamame Salad gets a lot of interesting textures from water chestnuts, mushrooms, and snap peas, and spicy flavors by way of fresh ginger and hot chile sauce. Serve this terrific salad with brown rice or soba noodles.
5 Putting together a meal is much easier when you have a handful of flavor-packed components at the ready, such as marinated roasted red peppers, quick pickles, cooked lentils, tapenade, slow-roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, and all-purpose vinaigrette - recipes included.
6 Broccoli Rabe Pizza with Hazelnut Dough and Butternut Squash Pizza with Hazelnut Dough - It's not just the toppings that make a pizza great – you can switch up the dough, too, by adding ground hazelnuts or other nuts such as pecans or walnuts.
7 Golden-Tomato and Kale Pasta - Bright green blanched kale and sautéed Sun Gold tomatoes add bursts of color and sweetness to whole-wheat fettuccine, which is finished off with ricotta, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of chile flakes.
8 Lentil and Sweet-Potato Stew - Lentils are a good choice for making vegetarian stews, since they don't require presoaking and take much less time to cook than other legumes. Here they are combined with sweet potatoes and other vegetables in a dish with Indian flavors.
9 Mashed White Beans and Vegetables - Mashed potatoes head in a new, healthier direction, incorporating extra vegetables, like onion, celery, and carrot, as well as white beans for protein and a silky texture. Plus, there's no butter or cream, so it's vegan friendly.
10 Orzo Salad with Roasted Carrots and Dill - This deceptively delicious salad features earthy roasted carrots and garlic along with bright lemon and dill. It's perfect for picnics and potlucks.
11 Pea and Potato Curry - This Indian stew, known as aloo matar, can be made using fresh or frozen peas. The recipe calls for fresh curry leaves, which are not related to curry powder. They can be found at Indian or Southeast Asian markets and from online retailers.
12 Rice Noodles with Broccoli Pesto - Broccoli, basil, and almonds combine to make a no-cheese pesto for rice noodles, with some of the florets for a topping. Rice noodles are especially popular in Southeast Asian cooking and offer a gluten-free alternative to traditional pasta.
13 Roasted Potatoes with Romesco Sauce - Romesco, from the Catalonia region of Spain, is a versatile all-purpose sauce. Versions about, some made with fresh tomatoes, others, like this one, with red peppers. All are thickened with nuts and sometimes bread. Romesco is delicious with roasted potatoes.
14 Roasted Squash, Apple, and Cipollini Onion Salad - This colorful salad is a cinch to make–the oven does most of the work–and is loaded with nutritious vegetables and fruit, notably watercress and roasted squash and apples.
15 Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quinoa and Pistachios - A stuffing of quinoa, pistachios, and feta cheese elevates acorn squash from side dish to main course. For a vegan version, omit the feta and season the stuffing with one to two tablespoons nutritional yeast for a cheese flavor.
16 Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Gratin - An optional garnish of fried sage leaves takes this rustic gratin from simple to spectacular.
17 Sweet Potatoes with Coconut, Pomegranate, and Lime - Roasted sweet potatoes go from simple to sublime with exceptional toppings. This one has Middle Eastern flavors: coconut (milk and flakes) pomegranate seeds, cilantro, and lime juice.
18 Tomato Soup with Poached Eggs - Poached eggs, with their rich, runny yolks and high protein content, have a way of elevating practically any meatless dish–even an easy tomato soup–into a main course. In this one-pot recipe, the eggs are cooked right in the soup; then eggs and soup are spooned into serving bowls over garlic-rubbed toast.
19 Three Vegetable Slaws - Golden Beet, Asparagus and Carrot, and Cabbage and Green Apple - All three of these slaws forgo mayonnaise-based dressings in favor of two lighter options: olive oil and yogurt.
20 Vegetable-Barley Potpies - Filled with a hearty mix of mushrooms, barley, and white beans, these potpies are just as satisfying as more traditional chicken versions. Phyllo dough offers a quicker–and delectably flaky–alternative to a pâté brisée top.
21 Vegetable-Egg Donburi - Donburi is a popular Japanese dish of rice topped with meat, fish, or eggs, as in this vegetable-rich version. Whole eggs and additional egg whites are cooked along with mushrooms, snow peas, carrot, and scallions in the manner of an easy, no-stir omelet.
22 Versatile Vegetarian Chili - A bowl of chili is a tried-and-true vegetarian main course, and with good reason: it's hearty but not heavy, packed with protein, and highly adaptable.

Martha, the dishes all look delicious. Actually, the food in the dishes is what looks delicious.
I've been eating more meat to get my iron levels up, and in return..my blood pressure went up, also. Now, I have to get a healthy balance, because I do not want to take any medicine.
So, since I am always being called for my blood, I've got to find a happy medium.

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am for this book! I've always wanted a Martha recipe book but never bought one because I wouldn't use the majority of the recipes. I'm going to order a copy right away!

Hi, Martha,
Looks delicious. I've had Romesco Sauce before made with peppers. It was excellent!
Thanks.

Martha, I'm just now waking up from a very long nap, thus the late response. You always need a vacation from the vacation right? I had a blast with my aunt in Atlanta.
`
I'm excited about your new book and I hope it does well! I will purchase one ASAP, as I need guidance (eating habits) for this new year to drop some pounds this will be a great way to start. Wished it could be autographed by the one and only you!
`
From what you shared with us so far, I'm most looking forward to trying the pot pie this is one of the foods that I use to share with my grandma (chicken of course), oh how I miss her. And let me tell ya grandmothers are alway talking about how great grandchildern are, but in the eyes of this grandkid there is nothing like grandma's their da bestest ever! :0)

Thanks for sharing this blog.

The recipes look great, especially the brussel sprouts. Thanks for your leadership on this issue.

I'm so happy to see the meatless recipes....I've been eating less meat for years.
Just the way they treat the animals and how they pump them up with all sorts of stuff. These recipes remind me of my Mediterranean heritage. Great job
Posted by: Paula Bennighof | January 8th, 2013 at 7:36 am
Martha, I've been meat free for 10+ years for many of the reasons you stated why you're eating less meat and fish. I'm so excited about your latest cookbook, Meatless, the pictures are beautiful and the recipes appear doable for the average home cook.
Posted by: Cindy F | January 8th, 2013 at 7:57 am
My husband and I just commited to a meatless 2013! I will be running to the bookstore to pick up a copy. Way to go Martha!
Posted by: Cynthia Soto | January 8th, 2013 at 8:10 am
have had to adapt to many things as have you so could learn to live without beef,but hope I do NOT have to giveup meat. When you made Alex eat that pig, must have been life changing. LOL.In any event,keep up the good work and LIVING.
Posted by: ann | January 8th, 2013 at 8:41 am
Speaking of books, Trish I have not forgotten about yours either, I plan to get a copy of it soon also.
Posted by: KLBrown | January 8th, 2013 at 8:43 am
Hi Martha, OMG! This is an especially wonderful yummy blog you gave us today! I have always loved most vegetables and fruits all of my life and seeing everyone of these delicious looking photos of some of the recipes in your latest beautiful cook book make me very hungry and my mouth is watering! I'm not a vegetarian, but seeing all of these delicious foods could make me a partial vegetarian! I do enjoy chicken, bacon, beef, and pork, but don't eat them every day, just a few times each week! The only vegetables I have trouble eating are onions and peppers that I had trouble eating when I was very young! I especially want this new, beautiful cookbook and will check to see if it's available at Costco! It was so much fun to see all 15 of your latest tweets on Twitter yesterday! Thanks so much for all you do that inspires me everyday and I love seeing your absolutely fantastic blogs to learn something new every day! Hope you have another fabulous day, Martha! Off to see The Daily Wag about "Our Century Plants are Blooming!" Love that blog, too! Jan

Since going vegetarian 6 years ago, we are eating better with a greater variety. I'm always finding new recipes, so it's never the same old same old. Looking forward to trying some of yours now. Thanks!

Hi Martha,
Great idea for your newest book! Can't wait to try several recipes. Especially the stuffed acorn squash.

I would love to buy your new book but i live in Argentina, do i have any chances to see it down here?
Posted by: agustina | January 8th, 2013 at 11:25 am
I am so excited about your new cookbook, MEATLESS. I have been a vegetarian for 31 years. In the early days of my not eating meat, many of my relatives thought I was going to die! They could not imagine not eating meat. Meat eating is such a part of traditions and "norms". As the years have gone by, people have come to see it as a reasonable choice. Vegetarians are still the minority but, I have found that at gatherings when there are vegetarian items offered, they get eaten up by non-vegetarians. Every loves my vegetarian lasagna. Anyway, thank you for writing the book and I can't wait to purchase it.
Posted by: Cindy | January 8th, 2013 at 11:28 am
Wow! That looks great! I can't wait to read it. I can't wait to get this and try out some new meatless meals. My daughter doesn't eat meat so this will be a great addition to my cookbook collection. Many thanks Martha!
Posted by: Dawn Sterner | January 8th, 2013 at 11:48 am
Hi Martha,
I ‘looked’ through this book on Amazon and then I purchased it for a number of reasons. Mainly, I love vegetables and to have 200 vegetable recipes at my fingertips is definitely going to take the guess work out of what to do with certain ones of them such as celeriac as you mentioned in your foreword. And like you also suggested, why not replace sausage on my pizza with broccoli rabe or even butternut squash! Yeah, why not! Anyway, over the years you are the one who has introduced me to so many different kinds of food and you’re still doing it so I figure why ‘go anywhere else’ when you, the best is always here for us. I’ve seen vegetable recipes that just do not appeal to me, (some on Pinterest), and so I won’t try them but your recipes I want to eat off the page! Alexis’s are beautiful too. I like meat but I always do better weight-wise if I don’t eat so much of it including chicken. Now I have a good excuse not to eat so much of it because your tasty looking vegetable recipes are on my desktop. I love that Amazon Whispernet for my desktop. One click and your book went to my Library and then I tweeted that news on Twitter. Thanks Martha for another one of your wonderful books that I know I will treasure. Trish
~
To KLBrown:
Thanks for thinking of me and ‘my book’ which is not a book but a story I wrote for “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Angels Among Us”. Don’t forget to read the bios too. No doubt everyone has had one or more angel experiences in their lifetime but the one I chose to write about just happened to be the most moving for me. I hope you enjoy it as well as the other 100 true stories!
Posted by: Trish | January 8th, 2013 at 11:50 am
omg! I can't wait to get this book!

Hi Martha, we at Veggie Runners are huge fans of yours, and are really excited to have you shouting out for meatless food.
A diet lower in animal fats is better for everyone, be they are runner or only get their exercise playing Wii tennis. Hopefully you will have a lot on influence with this book and lots of people can live healthier 2013s because of it!
Posted by: Bibi @ Veggie Runners | January 8th, 2013 at 12:41 pm
I'm looking forward to this cookbook! My husband is a vegetarian, I'm an avid runner and we have two small children. Time is precious but the quality of our food is very important. We definitely look for any new vegetarian recipes that will help increase our meal options. Thanks Martha!

Another great cookbook with beautiful recipes and stunning photography! Looking forward to trying it out and getting some always-appreciated inspiration. Cheers!
Posted by: Stephanie @ Global Dish | January 8th, 2013 at 1:53 pm
Thank you! Finally some great vegetarian options. I have to eat gluten free, so I'll substitute gluten free pasta, but otherwise, most recipes will be work great for me. Thank you for being so motivated and inspirational...and classy. Congratulations on your new cookbook!

So excited for this book to come out! All of the wholesome, non-fussy goodness I love from your publications in one volume.
And I agree that Jonathan Safran Foer's writing has helped me to see our societal eating habits differently. He gave a wonderful talk at my university a couple years ago. Witty and fun, but to the point and certainly transformative.
Posted by: Laura | January 8th, 2013 at 1:59 pm
Save a book for me! I've been the only vegetarian in my family for 30 years, and have always struggled to find interesting meals to present my clan.
With this book, I will win them over for sure!
BTW...picture #3...looks like a gorgeous oil painting!
Thank you!
Posted by: Barbara Mayer | January 8th, 2013 at 2:00 pm
Oh YUM! I've been totally thinking about going vegetarian lately, everything just looks so delicious and screams "I'm good for you!" This may be just the kind of motivation I need!
Thanks for sharing this Martha!

Hi Martha,
I have all your cook books and love each and every one of them. It gives me such great pleasure to comb through the pages and find great dishes. I'm especially excited about Meatless. I've struggled with eating disorders all my life and am trying to put more frutis, vegetables, nuts and seeds into my diet to help me stay on track. Your new cookbook is such an inspiration to me. I know it will give me the strength to eat healthy and right. Thank you for another cook book bible in my library.

Martha,
Thanks so much for sort of allowing me to promote "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Angels Among Us" when this blog is about your new book "Meatless". I realize you didn't have to okay my entire comment but I appreciate that you did. I sent an email to a rep from the promoters so she can come over here to read my remarks to KLBrown plus your blog of course! Trish
Posted by: Trish | January 8th, 2013 at 2:09 pm
I am absolutely thrilled to see this book released! More conscious eating is a necessity for a multitude of reasons!
Posted by: Melissa | January 8th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Thank you for producing this cookbook, Martha. It looks fabulous. I am always searching for good ways to get more veg, and the book has 200 recipes. Yea! And, I know these will be good because they're from you. THX!

Do the recipes have nutritional information; i.e., amount of protein, carbs, fat, sodium, etc.?
Posted by: Sharon McKinney | January 8th, 2013 at 3:34 pm
Good luck with the new book. I'm sure it will be a huge hit! I love roasting both grapes and Brussels sprouts. They make such a lovely side dish.

For Sharon McKinney,
Yes, each recipe is followed by its nutritional content, including if it is for vegan, for gluten-free, and for special diet.

I can't wait to buy this!
Posted by: Andrea | January 8th, 2013 at 5:04 pm
Martha,
You are the master of all that is domestic. However, regarding ..."eating no meat once a week..." This is the problem rather than the solution. The demand for and increased growing of animal flesh has skyrocketed and is not decreasing anytime soon regardless of the 1% vegans or the "Monday meatless crowd." Acknowledging, serious reading up, and knowing intuitively that eating animals at any time and/or stealing their milk, while snatching their offspring to consume is unethical immoral but the path we have taken in decimating the environment, our soil, water, and consequently killing us slowly from nothing more than habit.
We all love you in our home - Keep up your awesome creative works.
Posted by: wildsyrinx | January 8th, 2013 at 5:59 pm
Thank you for this book Martha!! I made a commitment last year to get healthy and it helps that my favorite brand (that I constantly push on friends and family) has come out with a healthy book.
I just bought it through Amazon. I can't wait to start using it.
Love you always!!
Posted by: Tony Briant | January 8th, 2013 at 6:08 pm
I am so excited! Every month I get Food Magazine I immediately flip to find the vegetarian recipes. I am SO excited for this book! Keep creating amazing recipes!
Posted by: Shayla Taylor | January 8th, 2013 at 7:40 pm
Martha, I was able to get my copy today. Meatless was still in the back of the store at Barnes & Nobles they were just putting them out. So it was hot off the press. My mom and I examed it and will start with the Potpie tomorrow. I'm cooking this is about to get way interesting because I don't cook! :0)
Trish, I am a little bit scattered (if I spelled that right?) brained sometimes. I've had the thought of following up on the book you wrote in (simply because I admire the way you communicate in writing here on the blog. Always with no grammar errors etc. wished I could be that way but I struggle with writing.)and I had not gotten around to doing so. So, Meatless triggered that thought. I'm hoping all is okay and well with me mentioning it. I also want you to know I did read what you wrote in that book and thought it was great! I will not be reading the others right away (yes I was just interested in what you wrote) but will keep it to use as I face things throughout the year and maybe some other stories will help me along the way. I still believe the best is yet to come, and I believe that for you as well. I was always taught what you make happen for others God will make happen for you!
Today was a good day I got both books!
Posted by: KLBrown | January 9th, 2013 at 12:00 am
Once again, your blog here has given many a chance to share ideas and
good luck Trish as you continue writing
Posted by: ann | January 9th, 2013 at 2:13 am
Hi Martha,
Thanks for publishing such a wonderful and easy to follow vegetarian recipe book. I have always been vegetarian and love cooking however sometimes find it difficult to find new recipes to try. After browsing through Meatless, I found that there was a lot of inspiration which would impress anyone you cook for. This is definitely a book to have at home and as a gift for someone who has a passion for cooking.
A great recipe book from a great Gastronomic guru! Keep it up!!
Best wishes
Posted by: Meera Shah | January 9th, 2013 at 4:29 am
Thanks for giving us, who don't enjoy meat so much, so many different recipes. Like you, I haven't been eating meat for the same reasons, and my constant concern is to eat enough protein. Hopefully I can get the book soon here in Canada.

As a vegetarian for 3+ years AND a huge huge huge fan of yours Martha, I ordered this book as soon as I saw you tweeting about it. It seems very diverse compared to some of my other vegetarian cookbooks. I cannot wait to have it in my hands tomorrow!

Hi Martha can you tell me when your book on Ageing will be released? I've been looking out for it and was expecting it January 2013. I'm now off to buy this new cookbook as it looks fabulous.
Posted by: Caroline from Sydney, Australia | January 9th, 2013 at 5:59 pm
Chickpea, quinoa, and gratin; oh my... This book will take you on a scary journey for some of those who must have their burgers and fries. This is the meatless side of the food we consume, and to some it may be yang, but to me; this book is a good thing. Actually, with this book, you can actually enjoy just looking at the pictures..... honestly!
The pesto.... the beet colored pasta, and what I really find interesting is the mashed various vegetables, that initially I thought were potatoes; were actually things like beans and carrots. When it comes to calming our visual thoughts of a vegetarian meal, Martha does this so well.
When I graduated from mac and cheese, I figured I would never have to look back at a meatless plate again. This book rewrites that thought....again.... ha..!
In my opinion, this book does reach into the European dinner houses, when you consider the things like chickpeas, and noodles. This being said, there are also many local favorites, such as sunny side up egg recipes, pizza, and tacos!
In closing, buy this book, follow a recipe, eat a healthy meal, and don't have fears about anything, because you're in good hands.... and THAT is a good thing

This is a wonderful sign of the times! Thank you, Martha, for carrying through on your long-held interest in creating cruelty-free dishes.

As always you introduce us to ways to improve our lives. Have to get my copy of Meatless, have to start growing microgreens, and have to plan the greenhouse.

I'm so happy to see this! Just in time for Lent. I head a craft for Lenten Family Night and I'll be sure to talk about your book, maybe even get a spotlight at the podium. There are usually about 80-100 families that attend. 40 days are well covered! Hard to say it will be a sacrifice to abstain from meat using your recipes but sure everyone will enjoy some new tastes. Lots of kids and families are more open minded about food choices. I'm very excited to add this to the discussions. I'm sure it will really liven things up. We sometimes offer dinner before the event so families don't have to rush through dinner. It would be great if the director would allow a few sample dishes. Thanks! You help make planning SO EASY! You're the BEST! The craft? An IOU a LOVE FAVOR FAMILY GAME SPINNER.

I am so happy to see the meatless recipes this is great for us. We are trying to eat better and loss weight in a healthy way. Since, I have met many people who are vegetarians and vegans their common complaint is why are their not enough recipes for them to choose from. Well, now I can show them your recipes and give them new ideas for cooking vegan and vegetarian. Thank you for always inspiring people to try and do new things.
Posted by: jolene flamm | January 13th, 2013 at 9:31 am
Martha, where is the like button? Lol jk. I LIKE this very much. This is how you stay current by always updating your repertoire. This book reminds me a lot of chef Yotam o's plenty cookbook. I know vegetarianism has been around for a while but you made it more accessible and exciting. Is that possible? Of course! When we saw you, everyone agreed you had a healthy glow. Now we know...
Best,

Posted by: Tim | January 14th, 2013 at 7:33 pm
Martha, many thanks for the cookbook. I have been vegan for years and am always looking to renew my resolve and have new sources of inspiration.
Now I must also be gluten free and hope you will develop a wonderful cook book that helps me bake my own bread.

Long time vegetarian-now-vegan. Can't wait to get this book. Thank you, Martha, for sharing your evolution on this topic.

Well done. I have been a vegetarian for about 15 years and a Martha Stewart fan for as long. I am thrilled to purchase this cookbook and am very happy to read your comments about factory farming and the use of animals as commodities with no regard for the suffering they endure from Farm to Fridge. http://youtu.be/THIODWTqx5E

Very exciting. I will add the book to my collection! Just on a side note, I used to really enjoy your magazine. It was full of beautifully inspirational photo's of flowers, home and crafts, but over time the 'meatcentric' focus became out of sinc for me, so I cancelled my long standing subscription. Not to be pushy or greedy, but perhaps you can devote one or two issues to veggie/vegan. I would love to enjoy your mag again. Thanks for the new book!

Martha, thank you for this collection of delicious recipes! My husband and I are such hedonists that we are carrying too much weight to be healthy. The good news is that we enjoy healthy foods. We have tried over a dozen recipes from MEATLESS and love them all. My husband has lost 25 pounds in about 2 months and reduced his diabetes medication. He is a freelance artist and does most of the cooking at our house. We both look forward to dining when he cooks anything from this cookbook!
