Editorial Reviews
"The team at Cook’s Illustrated magazine and America's Test Kitchen offers a real option for a cook who just wants to learn some new ways to encourage family and friends to explore today’s sometimes-daunting vegetableu niverse. This is one of the most valuable vegetable cooking resources for the home chef since Marian Morash’s beloved classic The Victory Garden Cookbook (1982)."
-Booklist STARRED Review
"This sturdy must-have cookbook is a highly informative reference highlighting the versatility of vegetables."
-Publisher's Weekly
"With a majority of the plant-based food we eat coming from just three crops – wheat, corn and rice – we all need to be exploring how to eat new kinds of fruits and vegetables. This book's tips, techniques, and "kitchen secrets" are a wonderful way to start."

"Ask my 10-year-old self and it’s easy – French fries! Now this question is a little harder to answer, since I’ve come to like all kinds of vegetables. If I have to narrow it down to just one, asparagus is my top choice for its sweet, nutty, and grassy flavor as well as its versatility. This gorgeous green vegetable can be roasted, crusted with cheese, and added to tarts, stir fries and omelets. You can’t beat grilled asparagus—three ingredients, a smoky-charred flavor, perfection."
Dan Zuccarello, Executive Food Editor, Books
"I can’t get enough of broccoli rabe’s bold, nutty flavor and tender texture. Plus, broccoli rabe is incredibly versatile. From broiled to braised, stirred into a soup or featured as a side dish, its potential is endless. It’s also basically ready to cook right out of the bag (a quick trim of its stalks is the extent of the required prep) and available all year round. Try the Broiled Broccoli Rabe and Roasted Salmon and Broccoli Rabe with Pistachio Gremolata."
