About the Author
Carla Snyder, cookbook author and cooking school teacher, lives in Hudson, Ohio.
I recommend this cookbook to anyone who will sit still long enough to listen to me. I had borrowed original One Pan, Two Plates cookbook from the public library and loved it so much that I bought my own copy. I purchased it in May 2016 and have cooked exclusively from it ever since. When I saw that the same author had written another cookbook, I preordered it immediately in August 2016. I had found myself in a cooking rut that even Pinterest couldn't pull me out of. Online recipes are great, but sometimes they wouldn't come out like they were intended to, or pairing a main dish and a side dish was a bit of a chore, or the two of us would get tired of eating leftovers for three days straight. At the place I was in my life, I needed a book I could just cook my way through that did much of the planning for me. There are so many good parts to this cookbook. The flavors are creative and very often jaw-droppingly delicious. I love that they cook with whole ingredients, sometimes with vegetables that I not only tried for the first time, but are now some of my favorite vegetables because of this book. The majority of them have gorgeous pictures, cook in 30 minutes or less, and serve exactly two people, so there is very little wasted food. Since it's one pan, there are no side dishes needed to round out the meal for either flavor or substance. The author included sections at the end of each recipe with ideas to beef up the meal if you're feeling extra hungry and gave wine pairing recommendations. The back of the book groups the recipes into seasons, so you can cook with what's freshest at the moment. I've doubled recipes and served it to guests. I've experimented on guests with completely new recipes not only without issue, but with many compliments. Seriously, y'all. Praise hands and heart eyes every day for eight months and counting. -Frank
It being winter.I have started with the soups, and the flavors have been AWESOME and very satisfying. After trying a couple of recipes, I was so impressed that I invested in a 12-inch Le Creuset enameled cast iron braising pan with a lid (50% off at a Le Creuset outlet store). It is perfect for these recipes because it goes easily and beautifully from stove to table. Cooking also feels clean with less dish washing afterward. I have many vegetarian cookbooks, but Carla Snyder really has a gift for blending flavors with a focus on healthy eating. It appears that the main ingredients are vegetables flavored but not overwhelmed by dairy products and other high fat, high caloric foods. I feel good after cooking, serving and eating the dishes that I make from her recipes. They are gifts for the taste buds. -Karanas
Was eagerly awaiting this book. It arrived quicker than it said it would. SO excited about it. Haven’t made anything yet but have flipped through and there are so many great recipes that I’m dying to try. Would definitely recommend as a gift for a vegetarian or anyone who enjoys veg-based meals. -M.T.Gordon
