Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Greene on GreensDon't buy this book if you have a fear of "fat." The dishes are rich but hey, you only live once - not many people could get me to try baked cucumbers but after some of the other dishes, I was willing to give it a go. If you are growing a graden, this book can come in handy as it has some not so run of the mill vegetable dishes. Rating: - Start here, end hereEver wander through the farmers' market and see a vegetable that you may have heard of but never quite knew what to do with it? A rutabaga, for example? Bert Greene has the answers. He doesn't just serve up an assortment of tantalizing recipes for more vegetables than even a die hard vegetarian could readily name. But his essays at the beginning of each chapter weave food and cultural history, nutrition, personal narrative, and shopping advice into what can only be called a vegetarian devotional. We probably have a half dozen vegetarian cook books, but we keep coming back to this one. Rating: - Excellent cookbook that has stood the test of timeA passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". With more than 500 cookbooks in my collection I am usually disappointed in my recent cookbook acquisitions. This book is a wonderful addition to any cookbook library. This book is NOT vegetarian. There are many vegetarian recipes and some vegan recipes, but there are also recipes that include meat. The book is subdivided the vegetable those included are as follows: Artichokes Asparagus Avocados Beets Broccoli Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Celery and Celery Root Corn Cucumbers Eggplants Fennel Greens Kale Kohlrabi Okra Onions and Leeks Parsnips Peas Peppers Potatoes Spinach Squash String Beans Sweet Potatoes Tomatoes Turnips and Rutabagas Zucchini At the beginning of each new vegetable section the author covers a little history, nutritional facts, what to look for, and how to prepare the vegetable. This book contains a variety of ethnic recipes. There are many French, and Italian recipes. But the author has also included recipes from the Netherlands, Basque region and the Southern USA. There are many delicious recipes in this book. I think that my favorite is the sautéed peas with walnuts or maybe the baked potato-stuffed cucumbers. It is hard to choose a favorite recipe from this book since so many of them are winners. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in adding new vegetable preparations to their culinary repertoire. Rating: - A fantastic book i have used for 20 years.I received this cookbook 20 years ago for a wedding present. I love it! Each vegetable is talked about as to what to look for in buying, what its historical uses have been(either worldwide or in his family), and what the author's favorite way of cooking it is. The recipes that follow are gleaned from many different sources. Not low fat, but high taste. I was given some fennel last year and had no clue what to do with it. Got out Greene on Greens and made some fabulous fennel bread.
