Vegetables: The New Food Heroes (Paperback)

Description

All too often when preparing a meal, we give little or no thought to what vegetables we should serve with our meat, chicken or fish and the end result is an unappetising side course that does little to delight the eye or the palate. In his new book, acclaimed chef, Peter Gordon, showcases vegetables and brings them firmly centre stage as the main dish of the meal. The book contains an impressive range of recipes, including: Soups, Casseroles and Curries; Fried Vegetables, in the form of Fritters, Stir-fries and Frittatas; Roasts, Gratins, Bakes and Braises, Pies, Tarts and Quiches; Pasta, Noodles and Grains; Pickles and Preserves. There's even a chapter devoted to creative ways with traditional accompaniments, like Potatoes, Roots, Purees and Greens, as well as one on Vegetable-based Desserts. Almost all the recipes can also be servedin smaller portions, as starters or side dishes.
