Publisher's Synopsis
The taste of fresh, perfectly cooked vegetables is one of life's great pleasures - which is just as well, as we all know that vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. To get the full nutritional benefit, cook vegetables as lightly as you can, and as soon as possible after buying them, as this helps to retain not only the flavour, but also the valuable nutrients.
This book offers a look at many common vegetables and their origins, explaining how to cook vegetables and giving details on their nutritional and health value.
It explains what to look for when buying, how to prepare vegetables, which types of vegetables from another, how they can be used, and in some cases suggests healthy eating ideas from around the world that use the vegetable.
