Perfect Vegetables

The test cooks at Cook's Illustrated are hard at work, testing thousands of vegetable recipes in order to bring you the very best techniques and flavor combinations. This summer, the results of a full year of work in the test kitchen will be available in the upcoming Best Recipe Series cookbook, Perfect Vegetables. Inside Perfect Vegetables you'll learn how to prepare and cook the wide array of vegetables now available in markets--everything form artichokes and asparagus to winter squash and zucchini. Included are 300 recipes (all are new to The Best Recipe Series) for favorite versions of all-American classics such as twice-baked potatoes and glazed carrots, as well as more unusual recipes such as stir-fried green beans and roasted beets. You"™ll find more than 200 hand-drawn illustrations demonstrating cooking techniques in step-by-step detail, dozens of equipment testings and blind tastings of supermarket ingredients, and 16 pages of full-color photographs.
