For many food enthusiasts and home cooks, this particular season holds a special kind of magic. While spring brings its own refreshing charm (despite unexpected snow flurries in Chicago, as my weekend grocery run with Connor humorously reminded me!), it’s the annual “cookbook season” that truly captures my culinary heart. It’s a time when many talented friends and respected figures in the online food community release their latest masterpieces – beautiful, inspiring, and often breathtakingly stunning cookbooks that promise fresh ideas and delicious adventures in the kitchen. Just last week, I had the pleasure of sharing a fantastic recipe from Andie Mitchell’s much-anticipated Eating in the Middle.

This week, the spotlight shines on another culinary gem: a wonderfully simple yet elegant recipe from The Love and Lemons Cookbook, authored by the incredibly talented duo, Jeanine Donofrio and Jack Mathews. As a long-time admirer and reader of their blog, I’ve eagerly awaited the release of this book since its announcement years ago. The excitement of finally holding a copy and diving into its pages is truly immense, and I am absolutely thrilled to share a glimpse into their world of vibrant, plant-based cooking with you today.
