"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. 
 
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. 
 
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. 
 
Around Our Table embodies Sara’s generous approach toward cooking, making it an indispensable resource for timeless, family-friendly meals you’ll make again and again."

“Sara cooks the food that I want to eat every day. In Around Our Table she writes beautifully about feeding her family and includes practical tips and a game plan that makes these bright, veggie-packed recipes feel doable, even for the busiest people.”—Yossy Arefi, author of Snacking Bakes and Snacking Cakes

“I have been lucky to taste many of the recipes in this book and I can assure you it is full of honest, nourishing, and delicious food. A go-to book for every cook.”—Aran Goyoaga, creator of Cannelle et Vanille and 3-time James Beard Finalist

“Real food for real life! Around Our Table is a book I’ll be gifting all the hard-working, busy parents in my life. Filled with colorful and flavor-packed meals, the recipes are practical and adaptable, emphasizing all the ways anchoring your cooking in real, whole foods is achievable."—Heidi Swanson, author, Super Natural Cooking

“As a busy parent myself, this book is a breath of fresh air. It solves the never-ending question: How do I get a nourishing meal on the table night after night?! I love Sara’s realistic approach to cooking, which is fast and efficient enough for harried weeknights, along with other recipes that require a bit more time for those slow weekend days. But above all, these recipes aim to please the palates of selective young eaters, while still keeping the grown-ups very happy and well fed indeed.”—Sarah Britton, holistic nutritionist and author of My New Roots

"I love that Sara can distill a recipe down to its essentials and shortcuts, but still make it so very special. People remember how you make them feel, and this is especially true with cooking and entertaining. With this collection of recipes, I know that guests around Sara's table (and users of this book!) will feel excited, nourished, and cared for."—Laura Wright, author of The First Mess Cookbook
