A quick rundown of this product’s key features:

In her much-anticipated first cookbook, the culinary superstar and Top Chef winner reimagines the role produce plays in everyday meals, moving it from side to center in enticing recipes that add fun and complex flavor to veggie-forward eating—the kind of food we want to enjoy today.

A prodigy who started cooking as a teenager, master chef Brooke Williamson has already carved out a résumé full of leading roles and professional achievements in her young career. She won Bravo’s Top Chef Season 14, and on Food Network, was crowned the first winner of Tournament of Champions, and debuted as one of the three titans on the new cut-throat hit competition, Bobby’s Triple Threat.

Sun-Kissed Cooking is her much-anticipated first cookbook—a remarkably fresh look at produce-forward cooking that combines a deep love of ingredients, a respect for seasonality—which also incorporates preserved and canned vegetables—and an unexpected flair that makes cooking with produce inventive, fun, and incredibly delicious. Williamson inspires home cooks to follow their imagination and build dishes from whatever vegetables or fruits capture their fancy in the moment. With over 100 fresh and unexpected recipes, arranged by the ingredient at the center, from mushrooms and tomatoes to peas and pods to starch and greens—accompanied by sixty enticing photos—she shows how to get the most out of items from the farmer’s market or the produce aisle.

Though vegetarians will find plenty of recipes to love, Sun-Kissed Cooking is for everyone who wants to eat better without compromising flavor or skimping on ingredients they love—many dishes feature meat, poultry, and seafood. Williamson’s cooking style is wonderfully original without being fussy or complicated, and following her helpful guidance home cooks of every level can adopt her joyful attitude in the kitchen at the dinner table.

Title: ❤️Chef Brooks recipes!
Review: If you have followed Chef Brooke and her career for years as I have but have not yet ordered and gone out to get her cookbook…you’re missing out! I absolutely love her Grilled Artichoke recipe. Easy to make, and those you are serving it to will thoroughly enjoy the saltiness of the capers while the lemony flavor brings you that ray of sunshine you did not realize you were missing!!! So looking forward to making more! Well done Chef, it was worth the wait!!!

Title: A “chefy” veggie forward cookbook starring the best biscuit recipe
Review: The biscuit recipe itself is worth the cost of this cookbook- full stop.However, most recipes call for items you probably don’t have in your pantry and / or have several components. (It can get pricey.) Regardless the recipes are well written, not difficult to execute and yummy (at least the ones I’ve tried)!

Title: Best money spent
Review: It is a wonderful cookbook. Not like others , this one is not teaching you how chop onions, but how to use it. I have read the whole thing in one week, and I have found it most delightful. This cookbook is not like any other cookbooks, which is a welcome change. Go forward BW, like a shark.

Title: Original & packed w/flavor.
Review: I’m not a ‘cook’ and this book is gorgeous which shows me how the meal should look, easy to follow directions, versatile ingredients I never knew but now love and they pop up in several dishes. I’d say this is a great resource cookbook. To have her recipes to taste her style, is a treat. My game has been up & complimented.
