Mark Bittman is

known for fl exible,

simple recipes, and

his new book, Dinner

for Everyone, takes

that approach a step

further. He starts with

a classic dish like stir-

fry, pizza, or tacos,

then adapts it three

ways: fast, vegan, and

elevated for company.

He shares the fast

and vegan versions

here to solve your

daily dinner dilemma.

wh at’s for DINNER?

Cookbook author Mark Bittman answers that question with two renditions

each of three iconic dishes —a quick version for hurried weeknights and

a plant-based one to please vegans and nonvegans alike.

MOUSSAKA

■ (^) FAST Mark
streamlines this classic
Greek dish by baking
eggplant, onion,
tomatoes, and lamb
together—eliminating
the need to precook
each separately and
assemble the layers.
He stirs in a
cinnamon- and
oregano-spiced
sauce and returns it
to the oven.
■ (^) MEATLESS
Mushrooms replace
traditional lamb in
Mark’s shepherd’s
pie-inspired take on
moussaka. He tops
the dish with mashed
sweet potatoes and a
cashew cream sauce.
