Beans, greens, grains — and the question of what to cook tonight. Green Girl Eats keeps everyday plant-focused meals close to the practical details: how to cook the rice, use extra squash, choose a sauce or judge an ingredient swap. Recipes range from lentil dinners and salads to pasta and desserts.

Plant Table Notebook LLC publishes the guide. Some recipes are vegan; others include eggs or dairy, so read each ingredient list. The accompanying pantry, dairy-free and vegetarian guides explain preparation, storage and substitutions by use: what works in a sauce may behave differently in baking.
