I just ordered this book. It is a very good educational book about basic know hows of vegetables from prep to recipes.
My only issue is with Amazon as they list this book under "Vegetarian" cookbooks. And since I am vegetarian, I bought this book as description didn't indicate it otherwise. And also there was no "Look Inside" to see their index. I still will enjoy this cookbook. Just would be nice if Amazon moved it out of "Vegetarian" cookbooks and also if there is a "Look Inside". Thanks!

This book is a coffee table book in size. It has outstanding pictures throughout and a section heading for each veggie. It starts with Artichokes "the artichoke above all is the vegetable expression of civilized living" and ends with zucchini (and other summer squash). Recipes are varied, simple to complex, but clearly written. Because of the size of the book text font is easy to read. The font used for text and instruction is distinctly different from font used for recipe ingredients. This makes it easy to spot the recipe on a page. Recipes include " Brussels Sprouts with maple syrup"and "King Tut carrots" (aka carrots with spiced nuts.) The section on beets features "roasting beets" which is something I have never tried.
You just rub the large beet with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and wrap in foil and roast at 375 in oven or on a grill for 2 hours. Or you can try "warm red cabbage salad with sweet potato" and "cabbage and pork dumplings with dipping sauce"or "carrot soup with coconut milk"and "cauliflower curry". All are examples of the variety in the book. Unlike other cookbooks that are divided by soup, salad, and entree this is vegetable alpha. This book will work for a beginner or expert, vegetarian or not, and because of its size and photography would be a nice gift for a bride or to feature in a cooks library.

I got this book yesterday, and today I prepared the asparagus with pickled ginger relish, which is a chunky concoction of tomatoes, sesame, pickled ginger, scallions and soy sauce (I substituted fish sauce because I was out of soy, and I used 5 tomatoes that I had previously oven roasted, rather than raw). It was amazing. A party in my mouth, and if I never make another recipe from this book that one will be well worth the purchase price, although I suspect the rest is equally delicious!

The last time I saw Michael Anthony was in a private dining room at Gramercy Tavern. The occasion was a press lunch for his first cookbook --- recipes from Gramercy Tavern. But it didn’t feel like lunch, and Gramercy Tavern didn’t seem like a restaurant — unless at the 4-star level, a restaurant is defined as a spiritual experience that serves food. I swooned, went home and started cooking from his book. I still do. It’s that good.

Michael Anthony apparently wasn’t busy enough at Gramercy Tavern, for he has also become the Executive Chef at Untitled, the restaurant at the new Whitney museum. And as if that’s not enough to fill a day, he and Dorothy Kalins, godmother of all that is good in cookbooks, have created “V Is for Vegetables: Inspired Recipes & Techniques for Home Cooks — from Artichokes to Zucchini.”

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Kale. Quinoa. Not one bit of animal protein on the plate.

Rest easy. This is a vegetable cookbook like no other.

First, in its format — as the subtitle suggests, it’s organized like an encyclopedia, with lovely illustrations and helpful pictures.

Second, in its simplicity. These are recipes that require no esoteric ingredients or elaborate preparation — this is gourmet home cooking.

Most original of all is the point-of-view. A great many cooks have adopted the vegetables-at-the-center-of-the-plate religion, with animal protein as a side dish, garnish, afterthought — or non-presence. (They ignore what the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki noted: “You have to kill vegetables too.”) Michael Anthony hasn’t surrendered to the Cult of Vegetables. He includes fish and meat recipes “because that’s the way I eat.” He just happens to like to eat vegetables more: “I am a cheerleader saying, ‘Hey, you can do this.

while this cookbook is 374 pages of beautifully sketched and wonderfully photographed vegetables, I found it to be very light on actual recipies. Each veggie had one or perhaps two ways to prepare them. Look closely at the index before you purchase. I was so sure it would be what I wanted that I missed my chance to return it.

So far I have really enjoyed all of the recipes I have made from this book. I actually really like the Avocado Yogurt with Lime Mash. I even made it for a pot luck at work and everyone was pleasantly surprised by it. I believe they said it was flavorful and refreshing, which is definitely is!

Beautiful photos and illustrations. I love that it's set up alphabetically. It's approachable and informative. It has lots of useful tips and fabulous recipes (Beet Tartare on page 45 and Baked Sweet Potato Fries on page 340). It would be a perfect Christmas, birthday, or whatever the season gift for any food lover.

(This book was sent to me by Little Brown and Company for review.)
