Delicious recipes that celebrate the seasonal harvests of the Sunshine State

With year-round harvests and incredible seasonal variety of crops, Florida offers a wealth of homegrown foods that make it easy to cook local and fresh. Food journalist Dalia Coln is your guide to discovering flavorful dishes that showcase Floridas bounty of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and grains.

The Florida Vegetarian Cookbookincludes more than 100 recipes using local ingredients as distinctive as oranges, tomatoes, and watermelon and as interesting as sugarcane, peanuts, cabbage, squash, and cantaloupe. Coln inspires readers to try new twists on classic recipes such as her Spanakopita, a satisfying entre that pays homage to the Greek restaurants of Tarpon Springs; her sweet-and-spicy Game Day Buffalo Cauliflower that will win over any potluck party; and her Chocolate-Dipped Avocado Paletas that combine creamy avocado, zesty lime, and sweet dark chocolate for a refreshing treat in the summer heat.

Colns recipes are accompanied by 12 essays that offer the stories behind some of Floridas most cherished food traditions. Topics include the origins of the Florida Strawberry Festival, the rise and decline of Floridas citrus industry, the importance of corn for Floridas First Peoples, and more. Crafted for home cooks seeking to lean into a plant-based lifestyle, this cookbook includes tips on how to plan meals around seasonal fruits and vegetables, using local farmers markets for fresh produce, and exploring the cuisines of different cultures.

Colorfully illustrated with simple step-by-step instructions, this book will take you on a delectable journey through the many ways that vegetarian and vegan foods are woven into Floridas history and culture.
