This is a cookbook of approximately 85 recipes for vegetarian comfort food from a young, new POV and a showcase for her photography, which lovingly features plated food, ingredients, environments, and the unique golden quality of Midwestern light. Recipes are organized by `adventure` and each features a drink, salads, soups, main courses, and desserts. This book will appeal to vegetarians everywhere, especially in the Midwest, as well as home cooks looking for more creative recipes to add to their repertoire, plus young cooks who are trying to save money by cooking at home. We will trick out the book just enough so it looks and feels fresh and shows off a relatively unexplored culinary region and talent.
