      "I wake up each morning torn between a desire

      These recipes call for simplicity and intuition, so please make them your own. They are the basis for many variations. Although in their current form they are plant-based, as the cook your dietary and taste preferences will guide you to add dairy, wheat, and animal protein when appropriate.

      In a world of fast food and quick-paced lifestyles, these recipes ask you to slow down, listen to your senses, and create delicious vegetable dishes without heavy sauces, complicated ingredients or several, difficult steps. Instead, the vegetables in this book are prepared simply and deliciously, letting the flavors of the vegetables shine through and allowing you to savor them in their natural beauty.

      Simple and fresh cooking starts with maximizing the deep flavors of the vegetables with simple ingredients such as lemons, limes, fresh herbs, garlic, ginger, extra virgin olive oil, nut oils and sea salt, just to name a few. The recipes in Vegetable Bliss use these ingredients with delicious results.

      The bliss is found in the slowing down. Visiting a local farm or working your own garden, returning to your kitchen with a basket of local, fresh veggies, and preparing them simply to share with others reconnects us to our roots, to our Mother Earth and to our community.

      Our vegetable gardens and local farms hold the keys to our health. The vitamins, minerals and nutrients found in freshly grown vegetables can’t be matched through alternative means, so please join me on a culinary adventure, as you prepare simple and delicious vegetable recipes all year long. Share your veggie creations and spread the word that vegetables are one of our greatest blessings!

      Wishing you a life filled with simple pleasures,

      Julie Sochacki
