Vegetables: More than an Afterthought

By Cheri Sicard

We know it's good to eat vegetables, but often we just toss them on the table without much thought. But Paul Gayner, author of A Passion For Vegetables, has created recipes that will turn ordinary greens and yellows into a gourmet meal.

A Passion For Vegetables
All too often vegetables are an afterthought, and as such don't offer much in the way of culinary interest. This book is about to change those notions. Paul Gaynor, executive chef at the Lanesboro Hotel (the UK's highest-rated five-star hotel for cuisine), has come up with recipes and presentations that make vegetables a celebratory event rather than a nutritional obligation.

A Passion for Vegetables
Most of the 150 recipes in the book are photographed in glorious color by Gus Filgate, winner of the James Beard Award for Best Food Photography. These mouth watering photos (click on the sample recipe below) will inspire even the laziest of cooks to put a little effort into making vegetable dishes that truly sing!

Gaylor draws inspiration for his recipes from a multitude of ethnic cuisines and there are innovative mouth-watering recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, main courses and even desserts. While the recipes appear somewhat advanced, the instructions are so clear and simple that most cooks will have little trouble accomplishing. Some of the more exotic ingredients might be harder to find in certain areas of the country, however.

Readers will also find master chef Gaylor's tips for buying fresh produce, the best way to stare vegetables, ideas for successful vegetable cookery and more.

Recipes from the book:

  • Baked Artichokes with Coddled Eggs Nicoise
  • Gujerati-Style Spinach with Lemon and Black Pepper
  • Braised Beets with Shallotsthe end
