- An essential book for your kitchen (and your children's)
We all know the situation. You shopping bag contains some odd vegetablesand you are supposed to serve a delicious meal within the hour, but howcan the vegetables and a few assorted items from the larder be turned intothe lucculus dish you had in mind? Don't despair! Just grab this littlebook and look under the name of your vegetables and you will find all theinspiration and directions you need. This book is a must for any personwho enjoys serving well-prepared food. The lay-out is very practical withthe recipes organised by the vegetable to be prepared, and for each thereare many dishes, so you are sure to find at least one which suits youtaste and fancy. The recopies are precise and easy to follow, (although Ipersonally prefer to shorten the cooking times to leave the vegetablescrisper). It should be noted that this book is not a vegetarian book, Someof the dishes contain meat or are describes as being good with meat orfish, but it is a book that show how you can put more vegetables on yourplate and still make your meals very enjoyable for yourself and yourguests. As a chemist turned amateur cook I consider this ingenious book amust in every kitchen. I often use it as a gift to a friend and I havemade sure that my children have a copy.
