Book Description
The complete, A-to-Z guide to buying, preparing, and cooking
vegetables. The follow-up to his James Beard award-winning
Fish & Shellfish, James Peterson's newest book,
Vegetables, will be the most authoritative book on the topic.
In addition to the more than 300 wonderful recipes, Peterson
includes an encyclopedic introduction covering topics such as
vegetable varieties, uses, buying, preparation, storage, and
more -- basically everything you'll ever need to know. The
recipes span the globe -- everything from American mashed
potatoes to stir-fried bok choy. Although there are plenty of
vegetarian recipes -- many without dairy products -- James
Peterson isn't afraid to add smoked ham or meat stock to his
vegetable recipes, if that's how they're best enjoyed. Just
like his previous award-winning cookbooks, Vegetables will be
required reading (and cooking) for beginners, culinary
professionals, and all levels of cooks in between.
