COPY ISBN
In this elegant vegetable cookbook, British food authority Slater (Real Fast Food) discusses vegetable varieties, what time of year to sow, and how to season them. This is neither a vegetarian cookbook (recipes include sausage, beef, and bacon) nor a strict compilation of recipes (though it presents such dishes as A Cabbage Soup; A Simple Stew of Onions, Beer, and Beef; Sausage and Pumpkin Mash; and Roast Beef with Tomato Gravy). Slater provides plenty of room for seasoned cooks to experiment on their own, and the result is an excellent reference book for those adventurous in the kitchen.
