A New Way to Think About Recipes

Our recipes are vegetable-forward, always vegetarian, and often vegan. Why? Because adding more plants to your plate is one of the simplest, most impactful shifts—for your health and for the planet. And because there are already incredible chefs and cooks creating recipes for non-plant proteins. Our focus is on nutrient density, balance, and flavor—while making room for flexibility. Many of our recipes work beautifully with added protein (which, as we’ve learned, most of us need more of). Consider them a foundation—one you can build on to suit your needs.

Our recipe cards go beyond ingredients and technique to show exactly what we used to make them—including where each ingredient came from and the purveyors we trust. Each card is packed with insight:

Seasonality notes for both hemispheres, so you can cook with peak produce no matter where you are.
Nutrition breakdowns as prepared, helping you stay informed about what you’re eating.
A vegetable count to support gut health and overall well-being.
Pro Tips on technique, preservation, and zero-waste strategies—because how we cook is as important as what we cook.
Cost breakdowns based on how we made them, so you know what it takes.

We ask the big (and small) questions so you don’t have to—and we share the answers in ways that are practical, approachable, and actionable. Take what you need, when you need it. And when you’re ready to cook, toggle Cook Mode to keep the recipe on-screen, hands-free.
