Delicious Vegetable Dishes for the Home Chef: Modern Recipes for the Home Kitchen

Kindle Customer: I have hundreds of cookbooks (most are Kindle/ebooks, obviously!)… this is in my top ten. Imaginative and masterful. The flavor combinations are great and the recipes inspiring. As others have mentioned, quite a few are a labor intensive. Very worth it, really amazing. I wish he would make a Kindle version as I have too many physical books already and I think it is a barrier to many people not buying it.

Sue Stirton: I love this book, there are some veggies that aren’t available but that is not a concern, the sauces, butters, dusting powders, mustards etc are brilliant. The miso bagna cauda is absolutely amazing.

Amazon Customer: I've had my eye on this book since a few weeks into Noah Galuten's (and his wife Iliza's) instagram cooking show during the pandemic. The way he preaches to replace something in a recipe and work with what you have was a delight to also find in this book! The recipes don't have piles and piles of ingredients, and most things I'm able to source even though I live in the exact opposite environment from California (a large rocky island in the North Atlantic).

The book itself is beautiful. The cover is almost a linen type which gives it a high quality feel. The stories and photos are well done.

I gifted a copy to a friend and they were as in awe of it as I was... or I as them since theirs arrived first haha

Well worth the money for anyone you know who loves exploring new recipes and utilizing the skills learned from one recipe into their everyday cooking.

Cliente AmazonCliente Amazon: Questo è un libro di ricette che davvero consiglio a chi è appassionato non solo di cucina vegetariana ma di cucina in generale. L'ho comprato per fare un regalo di natale dopo che anche io ce l'ho e lo uso spesso.

Il trasporto è però avvenuto all'interno di una busta morbida di pluriball ed è quindi arrivato con tutti gli angoli schiacciati o spaccati.

rambseigh: 5 stars for the design of the book and the photography. It's truly beautiful. The sections are inspired and inspiring. The photos will make you want to cook every dish you see.

Unfortunately, many of the dishes don't taste as good as they look and require a ridiculous amount of work (ridiculous because simpler means could lead to more exciting results). That said, I think the book is worth owning for the few recipes that are very good and interesting.

Dishes I've tried:
Chickpeas in Broth – Not that tough to make but pretty boring. I add chorizo to it, which helps, but even if that were part of the recipe, I wouldn't understand why it would be in the cookbook.
Beets & Berries – this recipe and the design of the book make it worth purchasing. It's a great dish and uses berries and beets in such a cool way.
Grilled Artichoke – boring, but beautiful photograph.
Cauliflower in Cast-Iron Pot – Supposedly this was a favorite at Ubuntu. I made it twice to make sure I got the recipe right. It's just okay. What's not okay is how much work is required to make it. The Vadouvan Butter recipe is silly. It takes forever to make and you could get the flavors...

Cerise: At first I was kinda scared by the negatives comments.
I don't regret that purchase at all.
First, I enjoyed the reading of the chef's story.
Second, I didn't find any ingredients funky or hard to find. I live in France, and I've heard of, or seen or bought at least one time each and every vegetable mentioned in this book.
The steps are clear. And the recipes give so much ideas.
Beautiful book in everyway.
Not vegan by the way, but it could please anyone who seek for vegetables in another way.

David Scott Goen: I respectfully disagree on the subtitle: most of these recipes are not for the "home." Today's home cooks don't want highly involved and time consuming recipes. Many of them appear to be simpler than they are, until you realize that to make one recipe you first need to make one, two, or three others.

But I really like this book. I've made some of the recipes and was quite pleased with the results. I learned things and obtained ideas from reading the other recipes. I love that this is a book on vegetables by someone who is a meat eater. Why? Because he doesn't go to great lengths to make vegetables take the place of meat and is content to let them remain vegetables. I don't need or want another recipe for a fake hamburger.

Phaidon, as another reviewer noted, frequently puts out coffee table books. This book's physical weight qualifies as a book better suited to the coffee table than in the kitchen, but the recipes are inspired cooking.

Trudy A.: Chef Jeremy teaches some primary terms and tasks before the recipes to familiarize you with some of the steps. Before that he really explains how he reached this point to write the cookbook which took 10 years, and why. The recipes are amazing and he makes them personal. Chef even encourages you to substitute ingredients for some that you cannot find, knowing that some ingredients are regional; also to make the recipes your own, as they say. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and the writing is as if he's talking to you, so personal. It's the best cook book ever and many have said that. It's a standout.
