Lucky Peach Vegges Out

Power Vegetables goes where few vegetables have gone before...

Indeed, this cookbook is filled with many bold flavors and fun presentations.  Even better, most of the recipes are easy.   I can't wait to sample the kung pao celeries and braised daikon with mustard seed. The easy all-purpose brine promises to be idiot-proof, and the stack of golden latkes will have you yearning for your sour cream and applesauce. This book is great for anyone who thinks vegetables are boring, and for anyone who wants eat more vegetables.

Lucky Peach, Lucky Me

Lucky Peach, Lucky Me!

I had the Momofuku cookbook and many of the recipes were quite involved, so I never really used it. So I looked forward to this cookbook promising recipes to dishes I might actually have the time to create.   The pantry is useful especially to novices.  For example, Hainan chicken is one of my favorite dishes, so I'm happy to have an easy tasty recipe.   The soy-braised short ribs look sumptuous and do-able, too.  My mother used to make the best lion's head meatballs so naturally I enjoyed reading Peter's version.  All the photos are worth a 1,000 calories (or more), and lucky me, all the recipes are "Chineasy."
