I am always on the lookout for new vegetable recipes, so when I found this book at the library, I checked it out. I so enjoyed reading it that I bought my own copy. There is a lot of information here~historical background, personal anecdotes, etc, which I always appreciate in a cookbook, and then of course the recipes themselves. If you are looking for new ways to prepare many "standard" foods~potatoes, carrots, onions~this is a good source. But even better (to me) are the recipes for the lesser used veggies: parsnips, turnips, leeks, shallots, etc. I highly recommend the recipe for Crusty Turnip, Carrot and Scallion Gratin!
