MORE VEGETABLES, PLEASE : Delicious Vegetable Side Dishes for Everyday Meals

Features more than two hundred recipes for thirty-four vegetables, discusses cooking techniques, and offers tips for shopping, menu planning, storing, and serving

While acknowledging that more and more produce is available year-round, Fletcher ( Grain Gastronomy , LJ 8/88) emphasizes taking advantage of fresh vegetables when they are truly in season, and her recipes are grouped accordingly. Most are quick and simple, with flavor and freshness the hallmark; there are also 100 ideas for other serving suggestions in addition to the full-fledged recipes. Fletcher includes information on selection, storage, and preparation of each vegetable, but other books, from Marlene Brown's International Produce Cookbook and Guide ( LJ 10/15/89) to Jeannette Ferrary and Louise Fiszer's recent Sweet Onions and Sour Cherries ( LJ 6/15/92) have done that; her book is more valuable as a source of recipe ideas.
