HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN STRUCK WITH THE SUDDEN INSPIRATION FOR A MAIN DISH, BUT BEEN AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO SERVE WITH IT? IT HAPPENS TO US ALL THE TIME. THAT’S WHY WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE THIS CHAPTER TO FIND THE PERFECT SIDE-DISH MATCH FOR ANY MAIN.

The dishes found here can best be described as eclectic. We have drawn from a range of cuisines and cultural influences to produce a selection of sides that should meet the needs of any occasion, whether you need another platter for your next dinner party or are just craving a quick and easy snack. We offer fresh takes on some classics, such as green bean casserole and French fries, but we also push the envelope by introducing new ways of thinking about serving staples like rice and other grains.

Here, you will learn how to glaze, braise, and sauté your vegetables to maximize both their nutrients and their natural flavors. We believe a well-made side dish can eclipse the mains and stand on its own as star of the dinner table any day, especially when infused with the richness and satisfying protein power of bone broth.
