Greens Cookbook

At Greens and in her two acclaimed cookbooks, Deborah Madison elevated vegetarian cooking to new heights of sophistication and brilliance. Through her cooking classes and talking with her many fans, she realized that there was a need for a complete vegetarian sourcebook. "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" is for everyone who cares about good food, whether they are dedicated vegetarians, or simply looking for better or different ways to cook and eat with an emphasis on vegetables.

"Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" contains more than 800 recipes for everything from appetizers to desserts. Deborah's recipes, a far cry from the drab food usually associated with vegetarian cooking, include vegetable stews, savory cobblers, stir-fries, gratins, casseroles, sandwiches, and every category imaginable--all with a decidedly international flair. The heart of the book is the A-to-Z vegetable section with details on vegtables from the common to the exotic, including how to buy them, cook them and complement them with herbs, sauces, and other partners. In this voluminous cookbook, Deborah articulates her vision of modern vegetarian cooking--dishes that are based on vegtables and grains without sacrificing taste and presentation.
