Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini

by Elizabeth Schneider

says

To refer to this masterwork as an A-Z of ingredients does it a disservice. Schneider called upon an army of experts – chefs, food scientists, growers and food writers – when penning this beautifully written, authoritative reference work with recipes. Chef Alain Ducasse described the book as “Absolutely formidable; truly prodigious!” when it was published – and he wasn’t wrong.

from the publisher

Behind the Cookbook: Vegetables From Amaranth to Zucchini

Elizabeth Schneider’s Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini, now celebrating its twentieth anniversary, is as relevant today as it was when it was first published. In a piece written exclusively for ckbk, the author reflects on how much – and how little – the food world has changed since the book’s publication.
