More Daily Veg: No fuss or frills, just great vegetarian food by Joe Woodhouse

In his dazzling new collection of recipes–a companion to the highly acclaimed Your Daily Veg–Joe Woodhouse takes his inspiration from countries as varied as Vietnam, Spain, Morocco and Greece, offering modern updates of traditional vegetarian dishes so they are healthier and more modern in their approach, as well as recipes with easy ways to approach sometimes less familiar but still straightforward dishes that always deliver on flavour and satisfaction.

Grouped together by ingredient, the recipes follow a simple format of short ingredients lists and easy-to-follow instructions for making the most delicious food that just happens to have no meat or fish in it.

Veg-Table: Recipes, Techniques, and Plant Science for Big-Flavored, Vegetable-Focused Meals by Nik Sharma

Nik Sharma, blogger at A Brown Table, Serious Eats columnist, and author of the bestselling cookbooks The Flavor Equation and Season, brings us his most cookable collection of recipes yet in Veg-Table.

Vegetable-focused recipes are organized into chapter by plant family, with storage, buying, and cooking methods for all. Here is a technique-focused repertoire for weeknight mains for cooks of all skill levels looking to add more delicious and satisfying vegetable dishes to their diet. Combining the scientific underpinnings of The Flavor Equation with the inviting and personal recipes of Season, this book features more than fifty vegetables, revealing their origins, biology, and unique characteristics and resulting in a recipe collection of flavours and techniques that are tried, true, and perfected by rigorous testing and a deep scientific lens.

Veg-Table includes Sharma’s first-ever pasta recipes published in a cookbook: Pasta with Broccoli Miso Sauce, Shallot and Spicy Mushroom Pasta, and more. And vegetable-focused doesn’t mean strictly vegetarian; bring plants and meat together with delicious recipes like Chicken Katsu with Poppy Seed Coleslaw. A wide variety of hot and cold soups, salads, sides, sauces, and rice-, egg-, and bean-based dishes round out this collection. (more…)
