The Fat Radish Kitchen Diaries

The Fat Radish Kitchen Diaries is perfectly positioned to be the next Plenty or Jerusalem. Like those books--as well as Sunday Supper at Lucques and Rizzoli's successful Salad for Dinner--this book takes the philosophy and aesthetic of popular restaurateurs (in this case, the team behind The Fat Radish, a fashionable and critically acclaimed restaurant on New York's Lower East Side) and presents accessible, crowd-pleasing vegetable-focused (though not strictly vegetarian) recipes.
