Very helpful book about types, how to prepare etc. with recipes. Also gives variations on recipes. Tried marinating mushrooms two ways. Liked one as is, the other I think will be could if I saute them. Will try out tonight. Con - he talks about Ramps but never explains what they are. Pro - as compared to Cranberry beans which he does define. Turns out a ramp is also called a wild leek. Who knew?

B- Not as good as I hoped; some real basics on veggies. If you cook like him, you have to go to the store almost every day; he barely keeps any veggies more than a few days (including some root veggies!). Some interesting recipes.

Great book of cooking obscure and common vegetables. Delicious, but uses plenty of fat. It's good if you already have a sense of cooking. This is not a beginner's book, though it has some excellent prep tips.

I have a number of cookbooks devoted to vegetable dishes, and a number of his cookbooks--this is a great one.

I love vegetable cookbooks. I love this vegetable cookbook in particular. Peterson gives some truly tasty recipes. Our family favorite is the Winter Squash gratin on page 197. Not low fat by any means, but so worth it! I made this when Jack was just starting to eat solid foods and he pushed away his plain baby-food squash in favor of this dish. Fabulous pictures, too.

A good reference for veggie recipes. Sometimes a bit too much butter or cream and not too adverturous with the spicy but the recipes are good basics.

This is a beautiful but ultimately useless cookbook. It's long on description and short on recipes.
