Cooking With Vegetables - Hardback

Start with a vegetable and end up with an unashamedly delicious dish. Jesse Jenkins’ flavour-forward, creative recipes and highly distinctive style take vegetable cooking to new heights with over 100 original dishes. Cooking With Vegetables is a standout debut cookbook showing you how to elevate the humble vegetable by applying cooking methods usually reserved for meat or fish. Jesse cooks everything – from cabbage, leek or tomato (no need for heirloom or special varieties) to fennel, seaweed or miso-glazed courgette – in stages to add layers of texture and make the flavours sing. He introduces dairy, meat and fish, but the starting point is always the vegetable. Inspired by his work as a chef in LA kitchens, Jesse's love of fresh, fast and laidback food ensures there’s always a comforting, satisfying edge to his cooking. Organized by type of vegetable – such as leafy veg, brassicas, root veg, aubergine and mushrooms – and packed with Jesse’s stunning photographs, Cooking: With Vegetables redefines modern vegetable cooking.
