Dalla quarta di copertina

Over the past ten years, the number of fruits and vegetables sold in markets nationwide has more than doubled -- as has confusion about how best to prepare them. Elizabeth Schneider to the rescue! "There is no such thing as an inherently 'weird' fruit or vegetable," she states firmly. "What your mother didn't cook, someone else's did."

Schneider makes unfamiliar produce as accessible as carrots and apples. Whether it is newly cultivated in the United States, gathered from the wild, or imported from the tropics, she has studies each edible plant from the ground up and made sure that it arrives at your table in fresh, contemporary fashion.

This encyclopedic cookbook answers questions about nearly one hundred types of recently marketed produce, providing information on nomenclature, availability, selection, storage, preparation, and nutrition. Culinary, botanical, and historical details set the stage for 420 easy-to-follow recipes that capture the essence of each fruit and vegetable.

Recognized as a classic, Uncommon Fruits & Vegetables: A Commonsense Guide was first published in 1986 to a fanfare of outstanding reviews, capped by Time magazine's calling it "the timeliest and most truly helpful book of the year." More useful than ever, this visionary volume includes produce that is now relatively commonplace -- arugula, plantain, kiwi, mango, shiitake, and fennel -- as well as the more elusive passion fruit, lemon grass, carambola, morel, pummelo, and fiddlehead fern.

Uncommon Fruits & Vegetables: A Commonsense Guide remains an indispensable reference and reading pleasure for home cooks and professionals, gardeners, plant lovers, and the food-curious everywhere.
