With 80 vegetable-focused recipes, Charlie Trotter’s Vegetables presents unforgettable seasonal plant-based fare in this classic cookbook from the seminal Chicago chef.

The dynamic follow-up to our best-selling CHARLIE TROTTER'S, this sensational celebration of vegetables presents some 100 seasonal vegetable recipes. Each luxurious dish is pictured in the same lavish style that so distinguished Trotter's first book. Complemented by more than 25 evocative black-and-white duotones, this book is a visual feast unlike anything else on the market. Organized by month, each chapter offers four or five savory dishes and one sweet course highlighting seasonal ingredients at their peak of freshness. Each chapter also features extensive wine notes, so ambitious cooks can serve a gourmet multicourse vegetable meal, recreating the experience of dining at the acclaimed restaurant.

Review:

There has never been a more sensuous vegetarian cookbook than this one. The food is photographed so as to accentuate its color and texture, and you'll want to dive naked into the Chilled Yellow Taxi Tomato Soup with Avocado-Coriander Sorbet and take a little swim. The wine notes that accompany each recipe are thoughtful and sensible, a valuable addition to this amazingly beautiful book. Charlie Trotter, who owns the eponymous five-star Chicago restaurant, says: "I just happen to be in love with the experience of touching, cooking, and eating the multitude of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and grains. It is sincerely one of the most sensual joys of my life."
