The Art of Cooking With Vegetables by Alain Passard

4.0

This was a delightful and refreshing read. The recipes somehow manage to make restaurant-quality dishes manageable for the home cook; they combine easy-to-find ingredients in unusual ways (Avocado and Dark Chocolate Souffle! Beets with Lavender and Crushed Blackberries!), and most of the techniques are pretty low-maintenance. I loved the illustrations--for each recipe, the chef/writer has created a fabulously abstract, evocative collage! A truly unusual cookbook.
