When he moved to New Orleans after writing his first cookbook, Mississippi Vegan, he made his dream a reality and began growing a cornucopia of plants and produce in the plot of land behind his new home. From fragrant and zesty herbs to all manner of leafy greens, sturdy root vegetables, lush fruit, and more, Timothy now cooks with fresh ingredients from his flourishing garden regularly, letting them inspire his recipes while also guiding him through the seasons in the kitchen. In Garden Variety, he encourages readers to develop a deeper connection with the natural world and shows us how to bring its delicious flavors to our plates.Timothy’s approach to plant-based cooking is elegant, exciting, and approachable, with a Southern flair. With vibrant vegetable dishes like his Bay Leaf Roasted Corn with miso chive butter and Crispy Okra & Turmeric Rice with fried curry leaves and peanuts, to more hearty dishes like his Garden Gumbo with roasted mushrooms and Oven-Braised Cabbage with black-eyed pea hummus, Garden Variety is full of ingenious recipes that will transform your cooking. With practical tips for roasting and sautéing any vegetable, baking your own rice to keep on hand, making perfectly seasoned beans every time, and leveling up any dish with essential, homemade condiments, Garden Variety makes it simple to cook plant-based from scratch, in addition to being an invaluable resource for how to use seasonal produce. Beautifully photographed by Timothy himself, it is both a work of art and a celebration of the magic of cooking with ingredients from the earth.ABOUT THE AUTHORSTimothy Pakron is a cookbook author (Mississippi Vegan and Garden Variety) and food blogger from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.Melissa M.
