Book description

No matter where you live in the world, it is the daily rituals of food that connect us.

Neighborhood is a must-have collection of show-stopping yet simple vegetable-packed recipes, delivered against a backdrop of charming stories of food, family, and friendship. These delicious main-meal salads are filled with exciting flavors from around the world, journeying from Brooklyn to the greater Americas, the Mediterranean, Asia, France, Australia, and many other neighborhoods.

Incorporating vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, herbs, and spices in exciting combinations, the recipes here redefine what a salad can be. From Shredded Collard Greens, Baked Sweet Potato, and Pinto Beans with Paprika-Buttermilk Dressing to Cumin-Spiced Cauliflower with Fried Lentils and Spinach Yogurt and Thai Carrot and Peanut Salad, the sixty hearty salad recipes represent plant-based goodness at its very best, with recipes you’ll want to make time and time again. A collection of dessert recipes leaves the book with a sweet finish.

Praise for the book

Joanna Goddard

founder of the women's lifestyle website A Cup of Jo

“Neighborhood is a beautiful guide on how to eat at home in a totally modern way. Hetty packs in dozens of practical tips for making satisfying meals with the simplest ingredients (The secret of slam-dunk salads? A can of beans. Leftovers? ‘Put an egg on it.’), which makes Neighborhood completely essential for anyone who loves feeding friends and family. No cookbook shelf should be without it.”
