Joe Yonan, The Washington Post It's big and beautiful, chock full of glossy color photography, but unlike other chef-authored cookbooks crowding the bookstore shelves these days, destined for dusty lives on coffee tables, Vegetables is one to put right on the kitchen counter, ready to get splashed with the Swiss chard shakshouka and coconut-carrot soup. . . . The recipes
including ones for baked sweet potato fries, beet tartare and 'kale cooked quickly'
have short ingredient lists and are very approachable for beginning cooks. At the same time, cooks who know their way around a mandoline will be just as intrigued.
