by Sara Forte

Around Our Table is Sara Forte’s third and most personal cookbook, combining her insights from years of cooking professionally and at home and creating recipes for her phenomenally popular site, Sprouted Kitchen, and Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club. The result is a collection of 120 nourishing recipes that are flexible, unfussy, and incredibly delicious. 

These are dishes thoughtfully designed for all of life’s big moments—birthday celebrations, bridal showers, births, and the harder times, like sickness and other times of need. Sara also shares her recipes for heavy-lifting sauces that can be incorporated into multiple meals and tips for dinners that will travel well, freeze well, and feed a group. 

Early mornings feature quick and nutritious meals like Banana Blender Pancakes and Overnight Oats, as well as options for more leisurely breakfasts like Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls and Crispy Cornmeal Waffles. Mushroom Quesadillas with Sunflower Seed Crema and Summer Panzanella Salad make for satisfying and healthy lunches, while Chicken Parmesan Meatballs or Tofu and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps are perfect, crowd-pleasing dinners. And for dessert, Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Bars or a Gingersnap Pumpkin Tart will satisfy any sweet tooth.
