Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book

In Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book American readers, gardeners, and food lovers will find everything they've always wanted to know about the history and romance of seventy-five different vegetables, from artichokes to yams, and will learn how to use them in hundreds of different recipes, from the exquisitely simple "Broccoli Salad" to the engagingly esoteric "Game with Tomato and Chocolate Sauce." Jane Grigson gives basic preparation and cooking instructions for all the vegetables discussed and recipes for eating them in every style from least adulterated to most adorned. This is by no means a book intended for vegetarians alone, however. There are recipes for "Cassoulet," "Chicken Gumbo," and even Dr. William Kitchiner's 1817 version of "Bubble and Squeak" (fried beef and cabbage).Grigson, Jane is the author of 'Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book', published 1981 under ISBN 9780140463521 and ISBN 0140463526.
