The Sprout Book: A Celebration of the Humble Brussels Sprout

by Tess Read

Though the Brussels sprout is the butt of many a joke, there are actually many things to love about this lowly veggie. As this complete guide reveals, sprouts are full of vitamins, folic acid, and dietary fiber, and there are an abundance of delicious recipes new and old championing their use in cooking, from the quirky Brussels Sprouts in Beer to the more stylish Brussels Sprout Gratin. Advice is also offered for those who prefer not to consume sprouts, from turning them into conversation-stopping jewelry or toys for youngster? Packed with insights and factoids, this is a highly eccentric look into a whole new world of sprout-related pleasure.
