Vegetable Love Barbara Kafka This is a very large and very heavy book and the cost of shipping will reflect that. Barbara Kafka has been shaping the way America cooks for three decades. She’s doing it again. With her customary originality, thoroughness, and passion for great cooking, Barbara Kafka has created the cook’s ultimate vegetable resource: 750 original recipes showcasing everything she adores about the vegetable world, from the lowly green bean to the exotic chrysanthemum leaf—even stretching the definition to include potatoes, mushrooms, and avocados just because she’s crazy mad for them. Her love of vegetables shows in every dish, each impeccably researched, consistently foolproof, and put to the Kafka taste test. Among these delectable dishes are dozens of essays, including personal reflections on the garden and migrations in the vegetable world, for example; all are erudite and unfailingly entertaining. Kafka’s book within a book—an at-a-glance, we’ve-done-all-the-work-for-you Cook’s Guide—provides practical, encyclopedic information on how to buy, measure, substitute, and prepare every food that ever called itself a vegetable. The ultimate vegetable lover's cookbook presents 750 original recipes for a variety of taste-tempting dishes, along with a collection of essays on the world of vegetables and information on unusual vegetables from around the world and practical tips on how to buy, measure, substitute, and prepare all kinds of vegetables.
