In Praise of Veg
Alice Zaslavsky

In Praise of Veg, by Alice Zaslavsky, is a must-add to your cookbook collection! This book celebrates and heroes vegetables and is packed with recipes and guides to choosing, storing, and serving them. You might like to pair this with a jar of Alice’s Tumami, a full-flavoured paste made from tomato and black garlic.

In Praise of Veg profiles 50 vegetable varieties and contains 150+ recipes. This book will help beginners and avid cooks alike transform vegetables into a knock-out meal. Here’s an excerpt from the book to give you a taste of what this fabulous book has to offer.

The chapters are colour-coded to vegetables so in the orange section you’ll find recipes using carrots, sweet potato, and pumpkin. In the red section, you’ll find ideas for red capsicums, radishes, and rhubarb. There’s a mix of savoury and sweet recipes throughout the book that will help you get creative with vegetables!
