Eat Greens

Barbara Jacobs, Booklist 4/15/2011
“With the number of farmers’ markets and true vegans increasing, it was simply a matter of time until cookbooks combined those two trends. Though Scott-Goodman and Trovato certainly aren’t the first to exploit the goodness of greens (think The New Moosewood Cookbook, 2000, for one), both have enviable track records in producing top-quality culinary collections (e.g., The Ski Country Cookbook, 2008, and The Beach House Cookbook, 2005, for Scott-Goodman and Rachel Ray’s Open House Cookbook, 2006, for Trovato.The bonus here? More than 120 simple recipes that don’t require expensive equipment or unusual ingredients, except for fresh-from-the-garden artichokes to zucchini. Every veggie includes at least one recipe, along with notes about origins, best growing season, and nutrients. Among the choices: asparagus and mushroom frittata, green cabbage and apple bake, and dandelion greens with tzatziki and feta cheese. Don’t expect too many proteins here, though egg dishes are popular. Instead, use this as a guide to easy-to-cook side dishes that quickly bring the best garden crops to table.”
