The Complete Vegetable Cookbook

The vegetable is having its moment — and this magnificent DK cookbook is the definitive companion for anyone who wants to cook vegetables well: not as an afterthought or a side dish, but as the centre of some of the most delicious food it is possible to make. The Complete Vegetable Cookbook presents over two hundred vegetables in full-colour photography alongside hundreds of recipes that span the complete range of global cooking traditions.

Each vegetable receives comprehensive treatment: how to select and store it, how to prepare it, which cooking methods suit it best, and a collection of recipes that range from the simple — a perfectly roasted carrot — to the ambitious, showing what each vegetable is capable of in the hands of someone who understands it well. Seasonal guidance helps readers work with what is freshest and most available.

An indispensable resource for any serious home cook — and the book that definitively makes the case for the vegetable as the most interesting ingredient in the kitchen. Published by DK.
