The fresh vegetable sections in most supermarkets, farmers'
markets, and gourmet groceries are overflowing with an
amazing range of produce, both familiar and exotic.
Consumers are tempted by kale and kohlrabi, taro and
tomatillos, bok choy and burdock, along with all the
familiar choices. Now acclaimed cookbook author and food
writer Jack Bishop offers a comprehensive A-to-Z guide to
this bounty of produce, complete with selection tips,
preparation instructions, and hundreds of recipes for more
than sixty-six commonly available vegetables. With Bishop's expert advice, you'll learn how to coax the
very best flavor from every vegetable, whether it's a
carrot, cauliflower, or cardoon. Wondering how and when to
buy the sweetest green beans? Bishop suggests buying at the
height of summer, and selecting beans that are crisp and
slim (older, thicker beans will be mealy and bland).
Confused about how to cook the spring's first sorrel? Bishop
offers such unique and delicious dishes as Sorrel and Potato
Soup and Sorrel Frittata. These recipes -- like all 350 in the book -- are clear and
uncomplicated, ensuring success for even the novice cook. So
whether you are looking for a salad or side dish, a vibrant
main course, or simply great mashed potatoes, you are sure
to find it in this essential kitchen companion. We all know
that vegetables are the key to healthful eating -- now it's
time to discover how great they can taste, each and every day!
