In Damaris Phillips’s household, greens were made with pork, and it wasn’t Sunday without fried chicken. So, when she fell in love with a vegetarian, she had to transform the way she cooked. This groundbreaking, full-color cookbook is the happy result. Recipes include
Buttermilk Biscuits and Tempeh Gravy
Mock Tuna Noodle Casserole
Green Bean Casserole
Bourbon Spaghetti with Pecan Meatballs
Gouda & Pistachio Sausage with Quick Kraut
Grammy’s Horseradish Meatlesss Meatloaf
Kentucky Red Beans & Rice
Paneer & Pumpkin Grids
And many more!
She even offers recipes two ways, with and without meat. Both Loaded Potato and Bacon Soup and Loaded Potato and Facon Soup! Both My Old Kentucky Home Fried Chicken and My Old Kentucky Home Fried Seitan “Chicken”! And others!
Phillips gives down-home side dishes a makeover by removing meat, adding international spices, and updating cooking techniques, and offers soul-satisfying, irresistible desserts that triumph over the meat-eater-versus-vegetarian divide, every time. Phillips found a way to make Southern food that everyone can enjoy, wherever they are on their culinary journey.
If you love a vegetarian, if you love Southern cooking, you’ll love what Phillips has done for you!
