There’s never been a cookbook like it. An incomparable variety of enticing recipes (more than eight hundred) . . . Basic gardening information . . . Shopping tips for nongardeners . . . Cooking inspirations for whatever you’ve plucked from the garden today or found fresh in the market . . . Vegetables as accompaniments . . . Vegetables as main courses (including recipes that use meat, fish, and poultry) . . . Vegetable soups, appetizers, salads, relishes . . . Even vegetable breads, pies, cakes, cookies . . . And more, as demonstrated over the years on The Victory Garden public television series.

A whole world of vegetable delight.

“Written with artistry and zest . . . absolutely crammed with intelligent observations. Marian Morash has done a tremendous job . . . She has inspired ideas about combining vegetables and insights about which flavors complement each other.” —James Beard, New York Post

“A large, handsome volume . . . It contains basic information for growing almost any vegetable, but its real strength is in the imaginative, complete and explicit recipes for their use.” —Mimi Sheraton, The New York Times
