"The book is loaded with photos and is smartly designed. Readers will come away with plenty of new techniques and tips for breaking down artichokes, conquering the fear of prepping nettles (gloves, tongs, and kitchen shears are a must) in order to prepare nettle pesto and ricotta crostini, and prepping beets." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, "The book is loaded with photos and is smartly designed.

In The Vegetable Butcher , Cara Mangini shares simple recipes that highlight a vegetable's flavor, but more importantly, teaches you the proper...way to slice, dice, and julienne it." -- Epicurious "Chef Cara Mangini's forthcoming book, The Vegetable Butcher , is nothing short of a veg-o-pedia. It's packed with tips for buying the best stuff, plus a haul of killer recipes and step-by-step instructions for slicing and dicing everything from artichokes to zucchini." -- Dr. Oz THE GOOD LIFE "For someone new to cooking, this book will become a well-worn reference, while seasoned cooks may benefit from pieces on lesser-known produce, like crosnes and cardoons. All can enjoy the 150 recipes (mostly savory, but some sweet), which include some surprising yet effective cooking methods and intriguing flavor pairings." -- Fine Cooking "While most Americans view preparing produce as a tedious chores--and a barrier to cooking veggie-heavy meals--chef Cara Mangini, who comes from a family of meat butchers, sees it as a pleasure. In her new book The Vegetable Butcher , Mangini shares the knife skills needed to break down a whole garden of vegetables efficiently enough for a weeknight dinner." -- TIME magazine "If you love vegetables, this book is a must-have!" --Dorie Greenspan "An encyclopedic guide to vegetables ... full of revelations." -- The Washington Post "It is THE guide for selecting, preparing, slicing, dicing and, of course, cooking all things vegetable." -- The Chicago Tribune, "The book is loaded with photos and is smartly designed.
