In this third installment of the Gorgeous series, Annie Bell celebrates the many wonderful vegetables available to us today with easy-to-follow, delicious, and beautifully illustrated recipes. There are luscious gratins, roasted vegetables in every guise, scrumptious tarts, a whole chapter dedicated to the art of making a green salad, and one on our old favorite, the potato. Some recipes are quickies to throw together after a day at the office, others are more detail-oriented dishes that allow for a relaxing time spent in the kitchen.
The English are strange with their veggies. Most of them are cooked with cheese, or cooked and put in a salad. This is not the kind of book used for, "I need a veggie side and have carrots... what to do with all of these carrots?" Not a book for vegans.
Hmm. I guess I was expecting mostly recipes with actual greens. Instead i found lots of recipes including pies, soufflés, quiches, tarts, soups etc - mostly with non green vegetables! Since when is a sweet potato or a squash a green?
