nik sharma, blogger at a brown table, serious eats columnist, and bestselling cookbook author, brings us his most cookable collection of recipes yet in veg-table . here is a technique-focused repertoire for weeknight mains for cooks of all skill levels looking to add more delicious and satisfying vegetable dishes to their diet.

believe it or not, japanese cuisine in general is actually quite vegan-friendly, and many dishes can be made vegan with just a simple substitution or two.

you can enjoy the same big, bold, salty-sweet-spicy-rich-umami recipes of modern japanese soul food without so much as glancing down the meat and dairy aisles. and best of all, it's super easy to make!

in vegan japaneasy, tim anderson taps into japan's rich culture of cookery that's already vegan or very nearly vegan, so there are no sad substitutes and zero shortcomings on taste. from classics like vegetable tempura, onigiri, mushroom gyoza, and fried tofu in dashi, to clever vegan conversions including cauliflower katsu curry, french onion ramen, and sichuan-style hot and numbing tofu with ancient grains, you don't need to be vegan to enjoy these tasty recipes. add to that some outrageously good drinks and desserts, like the watermelon mojito and soy sauce butterscotch brownies, and you'll be spoilt for choice!

with ingredients like tangy miso, savory shiitake mushrooms, and zingy ponzu, to name a few, who needs meat? so if you're new to veganism, new to japanese cooking, new to both, or you just want to expand your meat-free repertoire, this is the book for you!

white riot / black massacre: 1921 tulsa race massacre (zine): in highly segregated tulsa, oklahoma in june 1921, a white mob attacked the mostly black neighborhood of greenwood. hundreds of people were killed, thousands injured. homes, businesses, schools, and churches were burned or looted. city government supported the mob, insurance companies refused to cover the losses, and the kkk touted it as a great success. media barely mentioned it, and it was rarely reported on or taught in schools. for decades it was referred to as a riot, and only recently has the more accurate term “massacre” been applied. this short history creates an evocative account grounded in well-researched details that bring the events alive in an urgent and personal way, while also detailing what happened afterwards and the ongoing fight for reparations. as we reach the centennial of these atrocities, this zine serves as a reminder that we must all take an active role in not repeating the worst of our history.
