“"So many terrible cookbooks hit the market every month that it sometimes takes a while for the real gems to shine through. I''ve been hanging out with Jeremy Fox''s On Vegetables since April and my love for it has only grown stronger. Its recipes read beautifully (cool melon and coconut milk curry, anyone?), look ravishing on the page and are an absolute doddle to turn into something delicious. (I''ve been putting Fox''s strawberry sofrito sauce on everything for weeks now.) The book is oh-so 2017 in its celebration of green things rather than chunks of animal flesh. But it isn''t didactic or moralistic in the slightest. Instead it''s pragmatic and honest, and funny, too - like hanging with a laid-back NorCal surfer dude who just so happens to cook the best vegetarian food on earth."-- The Sunday Times, Style magazine "[A] gorgeous array of recipes, focused on flora rather than fauna, with a surprisingly sober edge." -- Eater "Jeremy Fox brings his expert knowledge of vegetables to his first book." -- Food & Wine "It is not an understatement to say that Jeremy Fox makes the best-tasting vegetables on the planet."-- David Chang "One of the world''s most inventive plant-based chefs."-- Image Interiors & Living (Ireland) "We love that Fox prefaces this collection of exquisitely beautiful vegetarian dishes with a ludicrously decadent mayo-filled grilled cheese sandwich because the two are not mutually exclusive.
