The blogger behind the Saveur award-winning blog The First Mess shares her eagerly anticipated
debut cookbook featuring more than 125 beautifully prepared seasonal whole-food recipes. Home
cooks head to The First Mess for Laura Wright's simple-to-prepare seasonal vegan recipes but
stay for her beautiful photographs and enchanting storytelling. In her debut cookbook Wright
presents a visually stunning collection of heirloom-quality recipes highlighting the beauty of
the seasons. Her 125 produce-forward recipes showcase the best each season has to offer and as
a whole demonstrate that plant-based wellness is both accessible and delicious. Wright grew up
working at her family's local food market and vegetable patch in southern Ontario where fully
stocked root cellars in the winter and armfuls of fresh produce in the spring and summer were
the norm. After attending culinary school and working for one of Canada's original local food
chefs she launched The First Mess at the urging of her friends in order to share the delicious
no-fuss healthy seasonal meals she grew up eating and she quickly attracted a large
international following. The First Mess Cookbook is filled with more of the exquisitely
prepared whole-food recipes and Wright's signature transporting magical photography. With
recipes for every meal of the day such as Fluffy Whole Grain Pancakes Romanesco Confetti
Salad with Meyer Lemon Dressing Roasted Eggplant and Olive Bolognese and desserts such as
Earl Grey and Vanilla Bean Tiramisu The First Mess Cookbook is a must-have for any home cook
looking to prepare nourishing plant-based meals with the best the seasons have to offer.
