"Vegetable-forward but meat-friendly, with a liberal dash of nerd: That’s how I’d describe Veg-Table. You’ll recognize a gardener at work as soon as you see the table of contents: nightshades here, brassicas there; the okra stands alone. But it’s clear Nik Sharma devotes as much attention to the stove as he does to the soil; he coaxes his harvest into explosive flavors in Broccoli Za’atar Salad; pairs it with proteins in Sesame Sweet Potatoes + Gochujang Chicken and Steak with Roasted Bell Pepper Sauce. Colorfully photographed and informative, it’s also a perfect browse for the post-dinner digestion-and-recovery period."
