I love this book. It's all about learning to appreciate vegetables on their own and is full of great recipes you can make for sharing or combining a few to make your own meals. I've seen a few people complain about just how simple some of them can be but I quite appreciate just having a good recipe for basmati rice. There's also something really amusing to me about a three Michelin star chef opening their book up with a recipe for microwave popcorn (which is super delicious by the way). And there is still plenty of more involved recipes with interesting techniques and flavours to discover, I never thought a mashed potato recipe is what would finally push me to buy an isi whipper but here we are. Anyhow, I just really enjoy the recipes and wanted to show some love for the book.
