Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Inside Perfect Vegetables you'll learn how to prepare and cook the wide array of vegetables now available in markets — everything from artichokes and asparagus to winter squash and zucchini. Included are 300 recipes (all are new to The Best Recipe Series) for favorite versions of all-American classics such as twice-baked potatoes and glazed carrots, as well as more unusual recipes such as stir-fried green beans and roasted beets. You?ll find more than 200 hand-drawn illustrations demonstrating cooking techniques in step-by-step detail, dozens of equipment testings and blind tastings of supermarket ingredients, and 16 pages of full-color photographs.

Review:

"Those looking for merely a recipe book may feel overwhelmed by the plethora of information and advice, as the test kitchen staff leaves no ingredient unchecked (they devote 56 pages to potatoes), but chowhounds and home chefs alike should delight at every obsessive and flavorful detail." Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:
