At Greens restaurant in San Francisco  where she was the founding chef  and in her two acclaimed vegetarian cookbooks  Madison elevated vegetarian cooking to new heights of sophistication  introducing many people to the joy of cooking without meat  whether occasionally or for a lifetime. But after her many years as a teacher and writer  she realized that there was no comprehensive primer for vegetarian cooking  no single book that taught vegetarians basic cooking techniques  how to combine ingredients  and how to present vegetarian dishes with style. Now  in a landmark cookbook that has been six years in the making  Madison teaches readers how to build flavor into vegetable dishes  how to develop vegetable stocks  and how to choose  care for  and cook the many vegetables available to cooks today.  Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is the most comprehensive vegetarian cookbook ever published. The 1 400 recipes  which range from appetizers to desserts  are colorful and imaginative as well as familiar and comforting. Madison introduces readers to innovative main course salads; warm and cold soups; vegetable braises and cobblers; golden-crusted gratins; Italian favorites like pasta  polenta  pizza  and risotto; savory tarts and galettes; grilled sandwiches and quesadillas; and creative dishes using grains and heirloom beans. At the heart of the book is the A-to-Z vegetable chapter  which describes the unique personalities of readily available vegetables  the sauces and seasonings that best complement them  and the simplest ways to prepare them. \"Becoming a Cook\" teaches cooking basics  from holding a knife to planning a menu  and \"Foundations of Flavor\" discusses how to use sauces  herbs  spices  oils  and vinegars to add flavor and character to meatless dishes. In each chapter  the recipes range from those suitable for everyday dining to dishes for special occasions. And through it all  Madison presents a philosophy of cooking that is both practical and inspiring.  Despite its focus on meatless cooking  Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is not just for vegetarians: Its for everyone interested in learning how to cook vegetables creatively  healthfully  and passionately. The recipes are remarkably straightforward  using easy-to-find ingredients in inspiring combinations. Some are simple  others more complex  but all are written with an eye toward the seasonality of produce. And Madisons joyful and free-spirited approach to cooking will send you into the kitchen with confidence and enthusiasm. Whether you are a kitchen novice or an experienced cook  this wonderful cookbook has something for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945365794869,"sku":"ByrdShop_0767900146","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780767900140.jpg?v=1769885596","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vegetarian-cooking-for-everyone","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
