Occasionally Eggs: Simple Vegetarian Recipes for Every Season
By Alexandra Daum
Available now
A beautiful debut cookbook exploring the bounty of the seasons, filled with more than 110 simple vegetarian recipes.
In my first cookbook, Occasionally Eggs, I’ll show readers how simple it can be to cook healthy(ish) vegetarian meals with local fruits and vegetables, and pantry staples, like grains and legumes. Largely plant-based, with the exception of occasional uses of honey and eggs, this book will inspire you to include fresh, local produce in your daily meal preparation.
Equal parts instruction and inspiration, with substitutions, tips, and tricks to allow for intuitive cooking based on what you have on hand. This is truly a year-round recipe collection and a book you’ll turn to for years to come.
Advance Praise for Occasionally Eggs
This book is brimming with the best balance of creative and surprising recipes, with familiar classics, reimagined. I love how Alexandra weaves her love of seasonality and earth connection throughout the whole book. Her approach to food, in a listen-to-your-body kind of way, is a balancing antidote to the often intimidating and narrow ways we’ve come to understand ‘healthiness.’ Bravo!

Alexandra has put together a collection of nourishing recipes that encourage readers both to cook intuitively and to eat with the seasons. Her sumptuous photography will have you running to the kitchen to whip up batches of sweet corn and zucchini pakora and apple hazelnut waffles.
