"This cookbook has revolutionized dinner at my house. In Dinner for Everyone ($23), Mark Bittman creates 100 recipes in three different ways (yeah, there are 300 recipes in this book), and in the breakdown there is always a vegan option, which is exactly what I needed to help steer my family toward a more plant-based diet. That doesn't mean we haven't enjoyed some of the meaty, cheesy recipes, but Bittman's vegan dishes are consistently far more flavorful than others I have tried previously. It's a globetrotting cookbook with recipes from around the world — so many good curries — with many basics, like mac and cheese or meatballs (or beetballs if you're vegan). The photos are gorgeous, too, and truly inspire. This cookbook brought some adventure back to the kitchen, and the easy version of these recipes that make for quick dinners on weeknights." — Susi May, senior content director, Fitness
