With nearly 400 simple recipes that are often unexpected but always delicious, Thierry Thorens invites readers to share his passion for the humble vegetable. Whether they’re served as a main course or as an accompaniment or to embellish a dish, for Thorens, vegetables are an essential part of what makes a tasty meal. Confined for too long to the world of health foods, vegetables are today abundant and a potential delight for all food-lovers.

From the most common produce (potatoes or tomatoes) to the rarest ( Chinese artichoke or cardoon), and from the most noble (asparagus or aubergine) to the most reviled ( turnip or lentil), not forgetting exotic vegetables, all have their place in this recipe book, with 10 or so recipes for each to show off their rich diversity.
