Title: Got want I wanted
Review: I first encountered this book at work as a server. The much floured copy was back in the chef's prep area. As someone who has cooked in a lot of restaurants, and a personal chef now, I don't go in much for any kind of book of recipes I already know what works. So it either has to be encyclopedic or blow me away on new presentation ideas to suck me in. This one is the former. It describes and gives reference for vegetables in great detail and I just freakin' love it. Great book to pick up when your cooking with any vegetable and learn something that you didn't know about something you work with every day. The ethnic vegetables I've seen wondered, "wtf would I do with that?", are answered with some basic recipes, enough to make me want to get my feet wet with stuff I've never worked with. Seriously good book.
