This lush, creative cookbook celebrates the flavor and versatility of vegetables by bringing them to the center of the table in more than 30 delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes.
Too many of us let vegetables play second fiddle in meals that center on protein or carbs. For chef Matt Wilkinson, vegetables come first. He builds his dishes around vegetables that are in season, when they taste the best, are most affordable, and most readily available.
The recipes in Mr. Wilkinson's Fall and Winter Vegetables range from Brussels Sprout Leaves, Mozzarella, and Anchovies, or Braised Eggplant, Tomato, and Meatballs. Also desserts, such as Carrot Cake with Grated Carrot, Preserved Lemon, Raisin, and Ginger Pickle. While many of the dishes will appeal to vegetarians, there are plenty that incorporate meat. In all of them, Mr. Wilkinson's vegetables are the stars.
With beautiful photography and vintage illustrations, the book is both timely and timeless.
