About this title

From the Back Cover:

Stylish, seasonal, home-cooked vegetarian meals--in no time at all!

True to his roots as a restaurant chef, cooking teacher, and family man, award-winning vegetarian chef Peter Berley has a passion for meals that taste incredible, salute the seasons, and are easy to prepare in under an hour. In Fresh Food Fast, he provides forty-eight meals--twelve for each season--including recipes, a shopping list, and a game plan that takes you step-by-step through the menu. These substantial, satisfying meals will bring pleasure to vegetarians and omnivores alike, from spring's Orzo with Baby Mustard Greens, Lemon, and Asiago to summer's Spicy Corn and Tomato Frittata with Scallions and Basil, to fall's Creamy Pumpkin, Pear, and Chestnut Soup, to winter's Caramelized Bananas with Blood Orange and Pistachios.

In a world in which fast food is generally prepackaged and second-rate, Peter Berley teaches us how we can live without compromise, enjoying fresh, wholesome meals any night of the week as we connect with family and friends.
