In a unique collaboration, Christian Teubner, Elizabeth Lange, Hans-Georg Levin, and Andreas Miessmer, have combined their knowledge and skills to produce this definitive sourcebook with over 1,000 illustrations: The Vegetable Bible. The title of this book is no idle boast, for it is the most complete and most beautifully illustrated reference work on one of mankind's most important and nourishing foods. This ultimate, authoritative, and incredibly sumptuous guide to vegetables turns nature's bounty into a culinary main event. The book is divided into eight chapters: Vegetables - Their History and Use in the East and West; Vegetable Encyclopedia (arranged by botanical families); Boiling, Steaming, and Poaching; Salads, Appetizers, and Cold Soups; Sweating and Braising; Stuffed Vegetables; Frying; Baking. The text, design, and more than 1,000 colour photographs presented in The Vegetable Bible are unsurpassed.
