Eunhae Han’s Reviews > Vegetables Unleashed: A Cookbook > Status Update

The home cook can learn a lot from the restaurant cook when it comes to getting the most out of every scrap of food. Broccoli stems can be sautéed in olive oil with garlic and a hit of dried chile. Mushroom trimmings can be transformed into a heady, umami-rich stock. And those vegetable seeds everyone throws away are waiting for their big moment.

Did you know that 87 percent of American adults don't meet their daily fruit and vegetable requirements? Or that 40 percent of kids' vegetable intake comes from French fries? FORTY PERCENT!

Vegetables have me dreaming big these days.
