"Proof that vegetables are cool: They’re getting the Lucky Peach treatment." The Washington Post
Review
"Any book with an exclamation point in its title promises to be a good time, and the third book from the Lucky Peach editors doesn’t disappoint. They switch gears after their previous meat-centric cookbook with 100-plus recipes that show vegetables are anything but boring, like tempura green beans with honey mustard and bright, charred carrots." TastingTable.com
Review
"As with so much of what Lucky Peach does, the balance between irreverence and utter seriousness of purpose makes this book a delight. The playful visuals and Meehan’s off-the-cuff text offer near-constant reminders that vegetables are wildly versatile, and cooking them ought to be fun." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
