04.24: Deborah Madison & Diane Morgan
2013-03-15 00:36:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
In her latest cookbook, Vegetable Literacy: Cooking and Gardening with Twelve Families from the Edible Plant Kingdom, with Over 300 Deliciously Simple Recipes (Ten Speed), Deborah Madison, America's leading authority on vegetarian cooking and author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers, and herbs within the same botanical families and how understanding these connections can help home cooks see everyday vegetables in a new light. Destined to become the new standard reference for cooking vegetables, Vegetable Literacy shows cooks that, because of their shared characteristics, vegetables within the same family can be used interchangeably in cooking. It presents an entirely new way of looking at vegetables, drawing on Madison's deep knowledge of cooking, gardening, and botany. From Diane Morgan, the author of more than 10 cookbooks, comes Roots: The Definitive Compendium with More Than 225 Recipes (Chronicle), a comprehensive guide and collection of recipes using root vegetables. Discover the fascinating history and lore of 29 major roots, their nutritional content, how to buy and store them, and much more, from the familiar (beets, carrots, potatoes) to the unfamiliar (jicama, salsify, malanga) to the practically unheard of (cassava, galangal, crosnes). From Andean tubers and burdock to yams and yuca, Morgan's essential culinary encyclopedia lets dedicated home cooks achieve a new level of taste and sophistication in their everyday cooking. Please note that this event will take place at The Cleaners at Ace Hotel, 403 SW 10th Ave., Portland.
