In the latest Milk Street cookbook (following
Tuesday Night Mediterranean), Kimball focuses solely on vegetables. Entire sections are devoted to single ingredients: artichokes, asparagus, sweet potatoes, winter squash, etc. The book offers a full year’s worth of meal inspiration and recipes, including options for roasting, baking, or stir-frying vegetables or incorporating them into salads and soups. There are also recipes for specialty condiments, like compound butters to top grilled corn or cauliflower shawarma, with substitutions as needed. As in the other Milk Street cookbooks, there are photographs of each dish that bring the recipes (like charred zucchini and tomato dip) into clear focus, but the multitude of vegetable recipes make it stand out among other Milk Street publications. The extensive table of contents and lengthy index are highlights.
VERDICT Besides fans of Milk Street’s magazine or videos, cooks of all levels will appreciate the variety of vegetable dishes in this handy guide. It’s an ideal complement to Milk Street: Cookish, but it can also stand on its own.
