About the author
Andrea Chesman
41 books34 followersI write cookbooks. I also edit them. I am grateful that I have found work that I enjoy.
Pickled Pantry is my newest book. I am very excited about it, and it is already generating favorable reviews.
Mostly I have written about vegetables, but I took a break from them to write 250 Treasured Country Dessertswith my co-author Fran Raboff on, which came out in 2009. The book is an update and expanded version of Mom’s Best Desserts, which was an update and expanded version of The Great American Dessert Cookbook. The collection contains everyone’s favorite home desserts—lots of cookies, brownies, layer cakes, pies, old-fashioned fruit desserts, ice cream, and more.
The New Vegetarian Grill is an updated and expanded version of an earlier book about vegetarian grilling. I’ve also written about cooking with the seasons (Recipes from the Root Cellar, Serving Up the Harvest, The Classic Zucchini Cookbook), roasting vegetables (The Roasted Vegetable), and healthy eating (366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains). Then there is also Mom’s Best Desserts, Mom’s Best One-Dish Suppers, and Mom’s Best Crowd-Pleasers, and a few more that are now out-of-print.
My work has appeared in Edible Green Mountains, Cooking Light, Vegetarian Times, Organic Gardening, Fine Cooking, Food & Wine, The New York Times, Natural Health, and several other magazines and newspapers. I was a Rcontributing editor for Vermont Life for twelve years.
Over the years I have edited hundreds of cookbooks, gardening books and others too varied to classify. I also Americanize cookbooks published in England and index books as well.
I live in an old farmhouse in Ripton, Vermont, a very small town where early and late frosts make gardening challenging. The poet Robert Frost used to rent a cottage across the street and took his meals in our house, in what we now call “the Robert Frost Memorial Dining Room.” I am married to Richard Ruane, a marvelous musician and recipe taster. Our kids, Rory and Sam, are also excellent cooks and enthusiastic recipe tasters. They have served as great inspiration for me.

This book is a "go to" for solid vegetarian meals from the grill. Not only does Andrea Chesman provide a nice variety of recipes, but her helpful charts offer adventurous grillers a good gauge for grill times for a variety of off-beat vegetables. My one complaint is that there is noticeable overlap between Veg Grill and Roasted Veg.

I had a love affair with the grill this summer; an affair of which Ben approved 100%. How could he not?
This became my go-to book of the summer, and I'm eagerly looking forward to another season of grilling!

My summertime food bible. Stuffed peppers, black bean & goat cheese quesadillas (yes, on the grill!), and other fantastic edibles not only enable us vegetarians to survive grilling season with dignity, but even make the offerings of carnivores look dull and uninspired in comparison.

Very good grilling book. I needed something on grilling vegetables for my side dishes. This fit that and more. I'm excited to try some of these dishes. Includes very basic all the way to moderately complex dishes. I am a basic, easy fix person and I found plenty here to keep me busy. Loved it!

I marked more recipes in this library book than I want to photocopy. I'll either have to get it again from the library or buy a copy of my own.
