This beautifully illustrated vegetarian cookbook features 100 simple yet delicious recipes inspired by the author’s rustic California home.

This volume collects 100 of Erin’s best vegetarian recipes, most of which call for only three or four ingredients and require very few steps, resulting in dishes that are fresh, wholesome, delicious, and stunning. Among the delightful recipes are eggplant tacos with brie and cilantro, rosemary shortbread, and blackberry negroni. Vibrant photographs, complemented by Erin’s own fanciful watercolor illustrations and hand lettering, showcase the rustic simplicity of the dishes.
