Praise

“Deborah Madison refers to her cooking style as getting simpler and her tastes getting lighter. But it takes the particular ‘simple and light’ wisdom of Deborah Madison and her deep understanding of the beauty of the vegetable to know that this is a world that can sing for itself. With just a little bit of Madison magic to set it on its way.” —YOTAM OTTOLENGHI, author of Plenty More and Jerusalem
 
“Madison, a doyen of vegetarian cooking, shares her favorite recipes, some of which are revised and revamped to reflect how she cooks today. . . . Her savoy cabbage, leek, and mushroom braise on toast with horseradish cream is hearty and comforting; the roasted cauliflower with romesco sauce and a shower of parsley is almost too beautiful to eat. Madison’s salad of citrus and avocado with lime-cumin vinaigrette and shredded greens is a vibrant blend of acidity, bitterness, and tang. She provides flavors for every palate and every course, including appealing desserts such as olive oil, almond, and blood orange cake; rhubarb-raspberry compote; and walnut nugget cookies. Eye-catching full-color photos further enhance this stellar collection. One glance will quickly show why the dishes here are Madison’s go-to meals, and they will soon become readers’ favorites as well.” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW
 
“Madison is terrific at that rare thing: making food that is simultaneously both plain and creative; wholesome yet also inventive and on-trend.” LOS ANGELES TIMES COOKBOOK OF THE MONTH

“Beloved vegetarian icon Deborah Madison gathered her greatest hits along with new dishes to create this recipe compendium.” —MODERN FARMER

In My Kitchen represents wonderful simplicity and refinement. Madison achieves a state of culinary bliss with an offhand expertise. . . This level of restraint and confidence is what one hopes for but rarely finds in our foodie superheroes.” —Christopher Kimball, MILK STREET KITCHEN
