Some Really good recipes! I'll definitely be trying some! ( )

Thank you to Raquel Pelzel and Workman Publishing Company for the privilege to read Sheet Pan Suppers Vegetarian: 100 Recipes for Simple, Satisfying, Hands-Off Meals Straight from the Oven early released for an honest review;

I really wanted to love this book more than I ended up loving it. I felt like a lot of the recipes relied too heavily either on carb loading or on pre-cooking things before they ended on the sheet pan. I felt like the recipe pages were far too densely packed with words, almost feeling a bit suffocating to keep reading or even just glance over. I, also, felt like this cookbook fell into the plight of having not enough pictures to really convey the magic of this new "pan sheet" recipe/meal phenomenon. ( )

Sheet Pan Suppers Vegetarian by Raquel Pelzel is a unique and upbeat cookbook, with recipes for everything from soups and stews to salads and desserts, all created in a sheet pan / baking sheet.

The idea of a cookbook using only a sheet pan to prepare food in struck me as both practical and brilliant. Sure, I have seen 'one pot' cookbooks, but one pot cooking has existed for as long as humans have made bowls from clay. I have never seen a cookbook concentrating on dishes only made in a sheet pan. And all vegetarian, as well! This book is a perfect guide for making easy, healthy and delicious meals and snacks using one pan.

I enjoy cookbooks, and tend to read as many as I can get my hands on. This one jumped out initially because I had never thought about making soups and stews on a sheet pan before. The recipes are approachable and written very clearly, with great attention to detail that allows home chefs of all skill and confidence levels to successfully complete them.

Several grain 'bowl' recipes were featured, and they provide a great base to experiment with in that once you learn how to correctly cook grains in a sheet pan, you can substitute veggies, sauces and garnishes as you wish to make millions of variations.

Some of the recipes that I found especially appealing were:
- Roasted Potato and Poblano Tacos
- Lentils and Spinach Stuffed Squash Halves
- Broccoli Vodka Pizza
- Roasted Strawberry Danish

Highly Recommended

I appreciated this cookbook because I didn’t realize how much can actually be done using a sheet pan. Before reading this, I was only using them for pizzas and cookies, and would’ve never expected to be able to prepare something like a soup from them! I also appreciated the intro, with tips such as how to prevent burning and what type of sheet pan will work best. It was nice to see the recipes labeled as vegan versus vegetarian, and the majority of ingredients needed were not fancy and/or rare to find. The photos are artfully done, though I wish there was a photo for every recipe to compare results after trying them out myself.

I received an ARC ebook copy of this book from NetGalley to review.

The recipes seemed fairly involved, most of them were not what I think of as a sheet pan meal - which is that you cook it on a sheet pan and then it's ready to eat. ( )
