Savory Sweet Veg

Savory Sweet Veg is the ultimate meatless meals cookbook by award-winning Como Water food blogger, Tiffany M. Griffin. More than just a collection of mouth-watering recipes and striking, full-color photos, this book highlights dishes that represent Tiffany’s concept of the “veg-centric lifestyle.” Full of choices, this book shows you how to prepare super flavorful, inexpensive meatless dishes that use everyday ingredients. Recognizing that almost no one has all day to spend in the kitchen, Savory Sweet Veg is about the art of simplicity. This is revealed by the book’s two (yes, just two!) sections—savory and sweet, as well as by the funny, inspiring, and witty quotes at the end of each and every recipe. Motivated by Tiffany’s culinary roots, as well as by her travels throughout the US, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Western Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa, recipes like Curried Asparagus and Tomato Tart, Chile Parmesan Grilled Corn, Green Chile Grits Bakes, Blueberry Cardamom Pie, Mocha Caramel Pecan Cookies, and Maple Walnut Cake reveal the beauty of simple, delicious, and sometimes decadent “veg-centric” cuisine created with the home cook in mind. Inventive, creative, dynamic, and fun, Savory Sweet Veg is quickly becoming one of the top go-to books for easy, inexpensive dishes that use everyday ingredients and pack in the flavor.
