"Phenomenal . . . transforms the kitchen into a site for creating global culinary encounters, this time inviting us to savor Afro-Asian vegan creations."--Angela Y. Davis, distinguished professor emerita at the University of California Santa Cruz
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker - The Washington Post - Vogue - San Francisco Chronicle - Forbes - Food & Wine - Salon - Garden & Gun - Delish - Epicurious

More than 100 beautifully simple recipes that teach you the basics of a great vegan meal centered on real food, not powders or meat substitutes--from the James Beard Award-winning chef and author of Afro-Vegan

Food justice activist and author Bryant Terry breaks down the fundamentals of plant-based cooking in Vegetable Kingdom, showing you how to make delicious meals from popular vegetables, grains, and legumes. Recipes like Dirty Cauliflower, Barbecued Carrots with Slow-Cooked White Beans, Millet Roux Mushroom Gumbo, and Citrus & Garlic-Herb-Braised Fennel are enticing enough without meat substitutes, instead relying on fresh ingredients, vibrant spices, and clever techniques to build flavor and texture.

The book is organized by ingredient, making it easy to create simple dishes or showstopping meals based on what's fresh at the market. Bryant also covers the basics of vegan cooking, explaining the fundamentals of assembling flavorful salads, cooking filling soups and stews, and making tasty grains and legumes. With beautiful imagery and classic design, Vegetable Kingdom is an invaluable tool for plant-based cooking today.

Praise for Vegetable Kingdom

"In the great Black American tradition of the remix and doing what you can with what you got, my friend Bryant Terry goes hard at vegetables with a hip-hop eye and a Southern grandmama's nature. To paraphrase Maya Angelou, Bryant wants us to know that once we know vegetables better, we will cook vegetables better. He ain't lyin'."--W. Kamau Bell, comedian, author, and host of the Emmy Award-winning series United Shades of America

"[Terry's] perspective is casual and family-oriented, and the book feels personal and speaks to a wide swath of cooks . . . each dish comes with a recommended soundtrack, completing his mission to provide an immersive, joyful experience."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Product description

Review

"With Vegetable Kingdom, Bryant Terry positions great cooking exactly where it belongs: smack dab in the midst of our lives. Here is the kind of cooking in context--among kids and friends, ancestors and communities--that has the power to bring us profound meaning and pure pleasure. Bryant understands that our kitchens are where sustenance, and substance, simmer. With an inspired soundtrack and a loving spirit, he reminds us that the familiar, exotic, and delicious kingdom of vegetables offers all the richness we could ever want."--Cal Peternell, chef and author of Twelve Recipes; A Recipe for Cooking; and Almonds, Anchovies, and Pancetta

"Vibrant plant-based recipes--from Jerk Tofu Wrapped in Collard Leaves to Farro and Kidney Beans with Burnt Scallions--capable of exciting even die-hard carnivores."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Vegetable Kingdom is an artful and inspiring volume that is not only a collection of innovative plant-based recipes, it's also a multifaceted celebration of culture, family, ecology, and health. Bryant Terry's true artistry is in his ability to celebrate and remix global foodways in vegan creations that are full of vitality and beauty. This gorgeous book gives everyone access to Bryant's amazing creative vision: it's a joyous collection of Afro-Asian recipes that delight the eye as well as the palate."--Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York

"Vegetable Kingdom is an altar to our Diasporic ancestors, a legacy offering to our children, and a shrine to the plant friends who nourish us. As a parent, I felt inspired by the ingenious ways that Bryant 'Blackifies' uncommon vegetables and makes them kid-friendly. As a Haitian, I felt particularly jubilant as I prepared spicy Pikliz to the steamy Creole love ballad 'Ou Fe'm' that Bryant paired with the recipe. As an overworked, time-scarce person, I appreciated the tips for advanced prep on the weekends and inclusion of efficient meals."--Leah Penniman, co-director of Soul Fire Farm and author of Farming While Black

"Bryant Terry wrote Vegetable Kingdom for his daughters and we're so lucky we get to have it on our shelves, too. Whether or not you're vegan, it's full of recipes we all want to make in our kitchens. From crunchy slaws to creamy soups and vegetable po'boys, Bryant has created an inspiring collection of dishes that channel so many influences."--Julia Turshen, author of Small Victories, host of Keep Calm & Cook On, and founder of Equity at the Table

"I absolutely love Vegetable Kingdom, which is an inventive, mouth-watering feast of many kinds, and at the same time sensual, musical, intellectual, and cultural. What Bryant Terry has done most beautifully is to root African Diasporic and Asian cuisines in their proper soil of family and community. This book feels like home in the deepest sense--full of brilliant colors, sounds, smells, and flavors--and it is our great fortune to be invited in."--Jamel Brinkley, National Book Award finalist and author of A Lucky Man

Creative recipes, but might be difficult with limited time and budget

24 February 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is beautiful and I cant wait to try some of the recipes. There are many sub-recipes, which means you need to make more time to prepare the recipes (and spend more money procuring the ingredients, which can sometimes be a bit obscure). I like how he breaks down how to prepare certain things, making it more friendly to less experienced cooks like myself. This book inspires me to cook but is not something I would regularly use with my limited time & budget. It would be a great gift to any vegan and veggie friends you have that like to cook -- it's a really beautiful and thoughtful book.

Complex and hard to find ingredients.

28 February 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I’m sure many of these recipes are delicious but beware, they include many hard to find specialty ingredients. In addition, the recipes call for an abundant number of ingredients. Author suggests that the first time you make these recipes you prepare them exactly as written. That would be a challenge due to the number of ingredients not readily found in grocery stores. I will use as a suggestion and improvise from there.

Beautiful book, as fiction or display

13 June 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This is a gorgeous book, but it’s the kind of cookbook I read as fiction. It would be lovely displayed in a kitchen or on the coffee table.

The majority of the recipes have more ingredients and more steps than are realistic for me. I’ll probably use the book as inspiration, and simplify the recipes, using as many shortcuts and prepared items as possible.

There are many recipes where I would love to eat the finished product, but someone with more patience than I have would need to cook.

Savory

21 April 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The book has some seriously flavorful recipes! I’ve only made a half a dozen recipes (citrus fennel dish on the cover, the collards, sun choke rigatoni, etc.) which have been amazing. I have dozens of whole food plant based diet cookbooks, but this is finding its way to one of my favs. Close second to Blissful Basil. As far as complexity goes, it’s the opposite of Thug Kitchen (which is awesome as well), but the dishes are worth the extra complexity

Beautiful vegetable-centric recipes

16 February 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

I have received a free copy of Vegetable Kingdom from Ten Speed Press in exchange for a free and unbiased review.

I eat a plant based diet, so I always appreciate a cookbook where I can make any and every recipe, without any modifications. This is certainly a bonus when reading through the recipes created by Bryant Terry. However, I did find that his pantry ingredients are far more diverse than I have stocked, so it took me some time to decide on which recipes to cook – because of needing to buy ingredients!

Vegetables are completely centric to the recipes and I love the explanation of how the recipes are grouped, based on his daughter's gardening class at school classifying vegetables based on what part of the plant is eaten: Seeds, Bulbs, Stems, Flowers, Fruits, Leaves... etc.

Since this review is written in February, I first made a recipe from the 'fruit' section, using winter squash to make Butternut squash and sesame seed hand pies. Really delightful results and each step was explained well. I had a couple leftover hand pies and they were great reheated for a couple work lunches. I'm always excited to make things that can travel well/ keep for another day. I look forward to making many other recipes when the vegetables highlighted are in season. I hope I only have to wait a couple more weeks to buy asparagus for the Roasted Sweet Potato and Asparagus Po'boy.

One other note, this book definitely has sub-recipes – sauces, spreads, creams (vegan cashew cream is totally worth making), seasonings and marinades. It requires a little more planing, but so far the results have been incredibly worthwhile.

Thanks for the free book, @tenspeedpress!
