A master class on vegetables with award-winning cookbook author and
renowned cooking instructor James Peterson

Have you ever purchased bundles of ingredients at the farmers'
market only to arrive home and wonder what on earth to do with
your bag of fiddlehead ferns, zucchini flowers, bamboo shoots, or
cactus pads? Treat yourself to an in-depth education withVegetables,
acclaimed author and teacher James Peterson's comprehensive guide to
identifying, selecting, and preparing ninety-five vegetables--from
amaranth to zucchini--along with information on dozens of additional
varieties and cultivars.


Peterson's classical French training and decades of teaching
experience inform his impeccable presentation of every vegetable
preparation technique and cooking method. You'll begin by stemming,
seeding, peeling, chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, crushing, and
pureeing, then explore less familiar but no-less-useful skills such
as turning turnips, charring chile peppers, and frenching French
green beans. Once the prepping is complete, Peterson explains the
intricacies of the many methods for cooking each vegetable, from the
most straightforward boiling, braising, steaming, and stir-frying
techniques, to the more elaborate and flavor intense grilling,
glazing, roasting, sautéing, and deep-frying. The text is further
enhanced with handsome full-color photography and useful extras,
like time-saving workarounds, tips on seasonal purchasing, storage
recommendations, and suggestions for kitchen tools you'll really use.

...

Whether you're an iconoclastic cook looking to broaden your
culinary horizons, or a tradition-minded home chef hoping to polish
your prep skills while expanding your repertoire, Vegetables will
become your essential go-to reference.
