The Vegetable Butcher
The Vegetable Butcher: How to Select, Prep, Slice, Dice, and Masterfully Cook Vegetables from Artichokes to Zucchini | Cara Mangini
9 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
The skills of butchery meet the world of fresh produce in this essential, inspiring guide that demystifies the world of vegetables. In step-by-step photographs, vegetable butcher Cara Mangini shows how to break down a butternut squash, cut a cauliflower into steaks, peel a tomato properly, chiffonade kale, turn carrots into coins and parsnips into matchsticks, and find the meaty heart of an artichoke. Additionally, more than 150 original, simple recipes put vegetables front and center, from a Kohlrabi Carpaccio to Zucchini, Sweet Corn, and Basil Penne, to a Parsnip-Ginger Layer Cake to sweeten a winter meal. Its everything you need to know to get the best out of modern, sexy, and extraordinarily delicious vegetables.

Help, please 🙏 I have heaps of #ebook #cookbooks as well as e-magazines, digital comics, & other illustration heavy ebooks. Which ereader do you recommend for storing & viewing those? Previously, I've used my tablet or phone with kindle app but the size of the files limits how many i can have at the ready. I'd love a designated reader for cookbooks especially. What do you use and love?? I'm stateside and would like to shop for one 😊 thanks!

Waiting for an afternoon cup of coffee to brew and diving back into this new library book. Isn't it a beauty? I need to change up my veggie game; roasting with garlic is getting boring.

celtichik I got this for a gift (Christmas maybe?) And also snatched up the ebook when it was $1.99...I definitely need knife skills! 7y
Zelma @celtichik I am going to play around with the library copy but I could see it as a solid addition to my cookbook collection. 👍 I really like the explanations on choosing and storing veggies. (edited) 7y

Ever wonder what to do with those leftover nettles in your fridge? Cara Mangini has the answer (and lots more) for just about any vegetable you can think of. The Vegetable Butcher is like having an encyclopedia for prep methods and recipes. I had the opportunity to meet her at Books By The Banks a couple of weeks ago. #booksandfood #novemberland

SharonGoforth Btw, the book's photography is stunning and the recipes look fantastic! 8y
Lindy Looks like a wonderful book! 8y

So happy to see this in today's book mail. Perfect for summer veggies & farmer-market shopping. I'll be reviewing it soon, but already can tell I love it.
