There are wonderful varieties of vegetables available now! Shopping for and cooking with the new ones is such an adventure.

Anyone have a favorite vegetable cookbook?

I have several ‘oldish’ ones that I return to time and again; and I have so many cookbooks that I don’t really buy new ones anymore. Many of my veggie-oriented ones are from my stint as a semi-vegetarian in younger days:

Smith and Hawken, The Gardeners Community Cookbook:

Some of the best are recipes from vegetarian restaurants. Here are two drawn from the famous San Francisco restaurant, The Greens:

The Greens Cookbook:

Fields of Greens:

Also, any of Mollie Katzen’s books are very good.
