Erin Gleeson's book is based on her popular blog, inspired by the natural beauty of her surroundings. She made her dream a reality when she left New York City and moved into a tiny cabin in a California forest. Most of her book's 100 wholly vegetarian recipes call for only three or four ingredients and require very few steps. The result is dishes that are fresh, wholesome, and amazingly delicious. Among the delightful recipes are eggplant tacos with brie and cilantro, rosemary shortbread, and blackberry negroni. Vibrant photographs, complemented by Erin's own fanciful watercolor illustrations and hand lettering, showcase the rustic simplicity of the dishes.
