I'm a reasonably decent home chef who's trying to expand his vegetable repetoire, and I love this book!
The genius is the organization - by vegetable! Each chapter explains how to buy the vegetable, then gives you a half-dozen ways to prepare it. If you've ever felt lost or overwhelmed in the produce aisle, this book is for you. Or if you're just in a hurry (I need a side dish, and there's still broccoli in the fridge), turn to "B" and flip through a half-dozen recipes.
I stopped using Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" after I got this book. Jack Bishop's approach is straightforward, easy to follow, and the recipes taste great the first time.

In the introduction, Jack Bishop says that people get in a rut and find themselves cooking the same half dozen vegetables over and over again. That was me all over! I bought the book to expand my culinary horizons - both in terms of Which vegetables to make and HOW to make the old familiar ones in new ways.
My favorite to date has been going to the farmers market to find a small Savoy Cabbage and making it with pancetta and onions. Killer. I was ignorant of Savoy cabbage before reading the book.
I was turned on to Jack Bishop with his Pasta E Verdura when my daughter was going through her "vegetarian" phase. He wowed me there and every other book he's authored since, including this one. |

This unique cookbook, organized by vegetable, is invaluable. I keep it on my counter so when I open the refrigerator to prepare a meal and find only radishes, mushrooms, and/or celery in the vegetable bin, I can turn to that vegetable and find a delicious way to prepare it. I consult it when I want to know how to store a vegetable. I consult it when I've found a new-to-me vegetable in a recipe and have no clue how to select one in the grocery store. I've found many recipes that have become favorites. I couldn't believe how delicious asparagus is roasted. And it's the same with mushrooms; roasting concentrates their flavor amazingly; you'll never think of plain button mushrooms as boring again. I've served them to guests for appetizers; they always love them. And who would think to braise radishes?? It's a Great way to use those radishes that have been in the fridge for too long. There are lots of gems in this cookbook. It's one of my Top Five Cookbooks that sit out on the counter and get used again and again. No glossy photos, just plain good advice on every page. |

I use this book an average of once a week. Each chapter, arranged alphabetically by vegetable name, describes in detail what to do with that bok choy or dinosaur kale that looked so interesting when I decided to buy it and bring it home.
The recipes, if you would rather not run with Mr. Bishop's helpful preparation suggestions and try something on your own, are for the most part vegetarian-friendly, and many are quite useful for vegans and others who would rather not eat peas with their butter, and so forth.
A detailed, clear, and interesting book. My diet is so much more interesting (and delicious!) since buying this book. |

This is a fantastic and beautiful cookbook. If you are looking around for recipes that can help you cook vegetables in a tasy way, look no further. This book is the answer to your prayers. It is: well-organized, easy, delicious, varied, and just crammed with wonderful recipes. So many cookbooks you get you never make half the stuff in it. This one doesn't have a single clunker yet and they are all interesting and can be made with things you have around the kitchen. Examples: Broccoli with a Lime-Cumin Dressing, Roasted Green Beans with Garlic and Ginger, Moroccan Spiced Carrots. I am making a list and just going through the book methodically because I don't want to miss a single delicious recipe. After looking and looking for a good veggie cookbook (since I am terrible with coming up with recipes on my own), I am so happy with this one. Congratulations and thank you to Mr. Bishop! |

I have had this cookbook for several months now, and I use it almost daily. I have made many recipes in this book, some several times. It also encourages me to seek out more unusual vegetables that I might not have typically bought. I look to see what recipe sounds good, and then I go out and buy the vegetable. My kids have learned to love brussels sprouts, leeks, eggplant, radishes and spinach just to name of few. I intend on giving this to my friends who are in search of a new way to get their kids to eat vegetables without the typical "dinner table fight"! This is one you will always refer to not only for weeknight meals, but also elegant dinners.
