Vegetable Literacy

By Deborah Madison (Ten Speed). A friend recently me asked what cookbook to get for her newly vegetarian daughter. My reply: “Anything by Deborah Madison.” This excellent guide, drawing on the author’s expansive knowledge, will help anyone understand the amazingly diverse vegetable family and how different members complement one another, with more than 300 recipes. More than a cookbook, it’s a great resource to expand one’s knowledge and use of veggies beyond lettuce and carrots.
