Some of the craziest veggies recipes I’ve ever seen. Potatoes baked in coffee grounds and compost?? But some looked good and creative. Lots of fun energy and a nice variety of topics.

The line between creativity and insanity is very blurry here

The recipes are maybe a bit overly complex but Andres' personal stories are terrific

Love this guy! His humanitarian work is so inspiring and he’s so full of infectious passion for people and food.
This book is a wonderful mix of food & travel writing, and super seasonal recipes that focus on produce at it’s peak deliciousness. Most recipes are soooo simple, just letting the beauty of each vegetable sing.
Highly recommend this one....

Bravo Maestro! It has been a while since I read such a great cookbook. Jose's obvious and permeating love of food and cooking is evident throughout. Educational, artistic, and exciting.

I love José Andrés. He is a magnificent human and I love his philosophy on food & service. This cookbook is great and I think everyone needs it in their toolkit. More veggies cooked in magical ways. I’ll definitely be making a lot from this book.

This is my first review on here for a cookbook because I actually took the time to read (most of) the little stories and blurbs throughout. I'll admit I haven't tried a recipe from this book yet, but any cookbook with a 20 page spread on different recipes with potatoes as the star of the show gets 5 star review from me. I think this is going to be a great book for me as a long time vegetarian who is sick of meat imitations and the lack of creativity in vegetarian cooking. This book contains strange recipes like "compost potatoes" (pretty much exactly how it sounds) as well as more tame, but still creative ones like "carrot curry" (the recipe that has convinced me I need a juicer).

I am a huge fan of Jose Andres. The recipes of his that I've cooked have always been delicious and intricate tasting, yet extremely accessible and on the easier side to make. Plus, he's always seemed like such a good person and I think his work with World Central Kitchen basically puts him in the company of angels. I've also eaten at Jaleo and the paella and croquttas inhabit my dreamspace to this day.
While, full disclosure, I haven't yet tried any of the recipes from this latest cookbook, I absolutely will. I checked out an ebook version of this from the library and quickly discovered that I will need to purchase a physical copy of it.
So many tips, tricks, and inspirations that I simply couldn't copy them all down. Oh, and the pictures of him wearing a tshirt that says "Immigrants Feed America" is so badass it makes me heart him even more.
PS - there's a cold brew coffee with SPARKLING WINE recipe included that I am absolutely ITCHING to make. So weird sounding but it combines 2 of my favorite things that IDGAF and am totally making it.
