This cookbook features 400 delicious recipes showcasing over 40 different vegetables, compiled by the editors of the classic Italian cooking bible, The Silver Spoon. It offers authentic, easy-to-use recipes that reveal how Italians incorporate vegetables year-round into simple yet crowd-pleasing dishes. Organized by season in four color-coded sections (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter), it allows for convenient browsing by time of year. Each section is subdivided into chapters focusing on various vegetables, detailing their best-known varieties, appearance, storage, and preparation to maximize flavor and nutrition. Additionally, it provides guidance on planting and harvesting these vegetables in your own garden. Each season features around 100 recipes, organized by main vegetable ingredient. For Spring, for instance, recipes utilize seasonal ingredients like Spinach, Swiss Chard, Artichokes, and more. Catering to diverse dietary preferences, two-thirds of the recipes are vegetarian, while the remaining third includes beef, chicken, pork, or fish, marked with unique symbols for easy identification. The editors emphasize that while Italian cuisine is not strictly vegetarian, vegetables play a vital role in every meal.
