will love Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. This is my very favorite cookbook. It has completely changed how I cook. There are so many more vegetables now that I have discovered and love (cardoons! edamame!) and familiar vegetables that I love in a whole new way (beets! endive!). Only a small handful of recipes have fallen flat for me, and I've made all the recipes save about 35 by now. I have ambitions of trying every recipe... hopefully in another year I'll knock of what's left (mostly the exotic tubers which are hard to find where I live). A little obsessive, but take it as proof--it's that good. (  ) SarahEHWilson | Jul 18, 2009 |  If you love to cook and eat, vegetables, this is the book for you. This book does an excellent job of teaching the basics of vegetables, including selecting, cleaning, storing, and preparing. The best way to prepare vegetables is presented, and the recipes are designed to teach the reader how to cook vegetables without having to rely on the book while in the kitchen. I’ve actually taught people how to roast asparagus spears with olive oil and kosher salt based on what I’ve learned in this book. The book will also confront some misconceptions about particular vegetables – cucumbers can be cooked! As noted by another reviewer on Library Thing, the vegetables are side dishes, not the centerpiece. But any user will find that the vegetables, well cooked and seasoned, can make a good meal great.

| Book description |
|
The recipes range from the basic to the complex, from simple steamed broccoli to rich soups such as Corn Chowder with Leeks and Potatoes. Even traditional recipes get an update, such as sautéed mushrooms cooked with butter, onions, and garlic. In just two simple steps, Bishop's interpretation has the mushrooms taking on an exquisite flavor that can stand alone as a side dish or as a topping for a rich steak. There may be some vegetables that are much less well known and even more difficult to find at the corner grocery store, such as malanga, Jerusalem artichokes, or salsify, but if you're interested, his suggestions might just help you find and tastefully enjoy them. Vegetables Every Day is the solution to satisfying the recommended five servings of vegetables a day. --Teresa Simanton
