Vegetable Simple: A Cookbook by Eric Ripert
4.0
I really enjoyed the layout and simplicity of many of these recipes. The title explains exactly what this book entails. Ripert's book really opens up the world of easy vegetable side dishes and main courses. He includes recipes that don't require many ingredients nor a lot of prep or supplies. He also explains techniques in an accessible way. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a desert section at the end too!
There is a deep appreciation for vegetables and the ways they can be enjoyed. I can't wait to see a copy of this book in person because the digital copy doesn't do the pictures justice. Also, I appreciated how there was a list of produce by season at the end of the book.
My one critique is that the recipes don't seem to be divided into any clear sections other than the deserts at the end and a random part where multiple mushroom dishes were listed. I personally would have found more value if they were arranged by salads, soups, appetizers, main courses, and deserts or maybe type of produce such as all the gratin or all the mushroom recipes are next to each other.
