Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book

Jane Grigson gives advice on the selection and cooking of vegetables, from the potato to the Chinese artichoke. Recipes from all over the world bring out the flavour and texture of each vegetable.

Jane Grigson (1928–90) was brought up in the northeast of England, where there is a strong tradition of good eating. In 1968 she began writing cookery articles for the Observer Colour Magazine; the Bison Books edition of Good Things is a collection from this highly successful series. Jane Grigson's Fruit Book is also available in a Bison Books edition. Grigson posthumously received the 2009 James Beard Foundation Cookbook Hall of Fame Book Award for her entire body of work. Amy Sherman studied the culinary arts in Italy and is a San Francisco-based food reviewer and an avid cooking blogger at http://cookingwithamy.blogspot.com/.
