More Vegetables, Please: Delicious Vegetable Side Dishes for Everyday Meals

Rating:
Summary: Exceptional Cookbook
Review: One of the few books I've been able to find on vegetable (not vegetarian) cooking. The author explains in detail how to select, store and cook a variety of vegetables, organized by season. Her recipes are somewhat out of the ordinary, but most don't take a lot of extra effort, allowing you to add variety to otherwise dull vegetable side dishes without straining your allotted budgets of time and cash. She also offers guidelines and suggestions for other sauce and garnish options aside from her recipes, as well as suggestions for matching the vegetable side dish with a main dish that will complement its flavors and textures. All in all it is an excellent cookbook, standing out particularly among the (very few) cookbooks on similar subject matter. This is not a cookbook for vegetarians, but rather one for those of us who want to add more vegetables to our diet to compliment the main dishes we love.
