Anna Jones’ Avocado and Lemon Zest Pasta – Design*Sponge

For those of you who have ever worked on a cookbook, you’ll know what I mean. For those of you who haven’t or who dream of it, please know that it is exhilarating and takes all of your energy at the same time. I loved cookbooks before, but I have an even greater appreciation for all of the work that goes into that final product that you hold in your hands. Such is the appreciation I felt when I held A Modern Way to Eat: 200+ Satisfying Vegetarian Recipes by Anna Jones, a London-based cook, writer, and food stylist. It is a beautiful handbook of easy-to-make vegetarian recipes with useful charts on how certain dishes like soups, pestos, and nut butters are structured so that you can learn to make your own without referring to instructions. We have chosen to share Anna’s recipe for Avocado and Lemon Zest  Spaghetti for its ease of making and flavors of summer. Enjoy! —Kristina
