Revised and updated, now with twenty new recipes and dozens of gorgeous full-color photos, bestselling author Nava Atlas presents the ultimate edition of Vegan Soups and Stews for All Seasons. Starting its life as a diminutive hand-illustrated vegetarian cookbook in 1992, it gradually went vegan, as Nava did. The book's staying power is a testament to the universal love for soups. A good bowl of soup evokes warmth and comfort. With a bit less liquid and a tad more chunkiness of texture, the result is stew--a savory and satisfying one-pot meal. From hearty, warming stews to fruity dessert soups, Nava ladles out more than 120 delectable recipes. Each chapter highlights the best produce available in its season. Fall celebrates the harvest, winter focuses on heartiness, spring lifts the palate, and summer is all about freshness.

With seasonality having stretched far beyond what it was not long ago, you are free to ignore the calendar and choose whichever soup or stew will satisfy whatever you are craving at the moment. Whether you are looking for a colorful global stew or a refreshing cold elixir, there is something for every soup lover on these pages.
