The blogger behind the Saveur award-winning blog The First Mess
shares her eagerly anticipated debut cookbook, featuring more than 125
beautifully prepared seasonal whole-food recipes.
Home cooks head to The First Mess for Laura Wright's simple-to-prepare
seasonal vegan recipes but stay for her beautiful photographs and
enchanting storytelling. In her debut cookbook, Wright presents a
visually stunning collection of heirloom-quality recipes highlighting
the beauty of the seasons. Her 125 produce-forward recipes showcase the
best each season has to offer and, as a whole, demonstrate that
plant-based wellness is both accessible and delicious.
Wright grew up working at her family's local food market and vegetable
patch in southern Ontario, where fully stocked root cellars in the
winter and armfuls of fresh produce in the spring and summer were the
norm. After attending culinary school and working for one of Canada's
original local food chefs, she launched The First Mess at the urging
of her friends in order to share the delicious, no-fuss, healthy,
seasonal meals she grew up eating, and she quickly attracted a large,
international following.
*
The First Mess Cookbook* is filled with more of the exquisitely prepared
whole-food recipes and Wright's signature transporting, magical
photography. With recipes for every meal of the day, such as Fluffy
Whole Grain Pancakes, Romanesco Confetti Salad with Meyer Lemon
Dressing, Roasted Eggplant and Olive Bolognese, and desserts such as
Earl Grey and Vanilla Bean Tiramisu, The First Mess Cookbook is a
must-have for any home cook looking to prepare nourishing plant-based
meals with the best the seasons have to offer.
