You might struggle with the idea of a Southern vegetarian. After all, isn't the South one big feast of meaty indulgence, where vegetables play a supporting role to the likes of fried chicken and bacon? Justin Fox Burks and Amy Lawrence turn that notion on its head by recasting garden bounty as the headlining act on a plate.

In a region distinguished by ideal growing conditions and generations of skilled farmers, Southern-style vegetarian cooking is more than possible--it's brimming with vine-ripened possibility.
