1. Protein-Rich Chopped Salad with Peanut Sauce

When my friend April first tasted this salad, she burst out, “OMG, Agatha—this tastes amazing!” Every bite is an explosion of flavors and textures, thanks to the medley of vegetables, the toasted pecans (which also lend an extra dose of healthy fat), and creamy Asian-style peanut butter dressing. Even better, the salad is super healthy and filling. I promise it will become a new favorite in your home. I like to use my mandoline to cut the cabbage, carrots, and jicama and end up with the Protein-Rich Chopped Salad with Peanut Sauce by Agatha Achindu.

2. Tiramisu

Tiramisu is so legendary you could be forgiven for thinking it has been around forever, but it is actually a relatively new concoction thought to have emerged in the 1960s in Treviso, Italy. This Tiramisu by Philip Khoury maintains the simplicity the original is famous for, using simple plant-based ingredients. There is actually one big difference that I am recommending and that is to make a sumptuous and moist coffee sponge that doesn’t need to be soaked in the same way as the original, which makes it a lot easier to handle and to create lovely layers.

When we think of fall, we think of flavorful comfort foods and roasted veggies. This Roasted Veggie Pasta With Sage Cream Sauce by Kristen Genton is a filling pasta dish, with seasonal and colorful root vegetables, is just that kind of meal. Covered with a cream sauce made from garlic and fresh sage, it provides a balance of flavor between roast vegetables and herby sauce.

4. Cauliflower Tikka Masala

This Cauliflower Tikka Masala by Priya Lakshminarayan is a vegan take on the always popular chicken tikka masala and uses cauliflower instead of chicken. Using red, yellow, or orange bell pepper rather than green gives the dish the desired color. Serve this lovely recipe with flatbread or rice to soak up the deliciously rich and creamy sauce.   Excerpt from The Essential Vegan Indian Cookbook by Priya Lakshminarayan, published by Rockridge Press.

This savory sauce has sweet flavors of blueberries and raspberries that are balanced out with rosemary and tangy balsamic and are served over baked vegan meatballs. This Blueberry-Balsamic Meatball Sauce with Rosemary by Kathy Hester is a great recipe to try out! (Note: the meatballs in a larger slow cooker with the sauce, but the meatballs completely lost their shape, so it’s not recommend doing it that way.)
