The Everyday Gourmet: Cooking with Vegetables reveals how you can take the same fresh ingredients, bright flavors, and unexpected combinations you love at restaurants and prepare them at home every night of the week, with or without meat.

Each lesson brings you closer to achieving a new level of comfort with cleaning, cutting, seasoning, storing, and cooking the full spectrum of vegetables, from the common ones you may be in a rut with to the more perplexing ones you’d typically avoid. You’ll come away with a broad range of ideas, including recipes that can be accomplished quickly on a week night as well as more elaborate dishes that will impress at dinner parties.
