Basics: Vegetables

Basics: Vegetables is the first in a series that will completely demystify cooking through step-by-step photography and clear instruction. It is a short but comprehensive photographic primer with recipes and techniques that showcase both classic vegetarian dishes and modern reinventions. Whether you’re having a vegetarian guest over for dinner, trying to make a weekday lifestyle shift, or years into a vegetarian diet, learn (or relearn) the basics with step-by-step photos and easy-to-follow instructions.   From Hasselback Butternut Squash to Risotto Verde or Tomato Tatin, your next vegetarian meal—or dinner party—is only a few ingredients away. Make spinach-tinted green waffles with eggs on the weekend, or treat yourself to a hearty lentil shepherd’s pie, assembled in 15 minutes and perfect for weekday lunch leftovers.  Basics: Vegetables has 80 recipes for vegetarian and vegetarian-aspiring cooks ready to grow their repertoire of delicious vegetable-forward meals. It is a must-have addition to any cookbook library.
