Spectacular seasonal vegetable recipes for every day of the year that will leave you wondering why you don’t eat more of them.

Bursting with color, texture, and flavor, vegetables reflect the changing seasons better than any other type of food. Enjoy dishes like new potatoes with peas or grilled artichokes with lemon aioli in spring. Have some golden corn fritters or puffy corn soufflés, sautéed or grilled red and yellow sweet peppers, and tomatoes in summer. Savor winter squashes and mixed-vegetable braises in autumn. And winter is the time for Brussels sprouts with chestnuts, creamy scalloped potatoes, and braised fennel with saffron.

This attractive, practical volume is broken into twelve chapters, each with a colorful monthly calendar that provides an at-a-glance view of the dishes included. You’ll find recipes for every occasion, from a weekday family supper or a summer backyard barbecue to a celebratory dinner, and that fit every schedule, from quick sautés to slow braises. Each recipe is accompanied with a note that might describe seasonings or unusual ingredients or offer serving suggestions, ideas for variations and garnishes, or other helpful tips. Many of the recipes are illustrated with full-color photographs to guide you as you cook.

Packed with inspired recipes to help you get more of these nutrition superstars into your daily diet, this book will encourage you to try vegetables that you have always passed up because you didn’t know how to prepare them, and it will give you new ideas on how to cook old favorites. So, go ahead and open this year-long celebration of vegetables and start cooking.

Unusable

The dishes in the book look fantastic. Unfortunately, there is no table of contents and no index. Which renders it almost useless. A shame.

Favorites so far...

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

There is quite the variety here: side dishes, main dishes, quick or time-consuming dishes. Favorites so far: Tomato & Eggplant Tian and Winter Squash & Pecorino Tart. There is also a pretty good pumpkin soup.

Each month starts with a full-spread calendar with a dish listed for each day (e.g. January 1st reads, "Spicy sauteed kale & chickpeas, page 12"). The calendar is followed by the full recipes in order by day. The advantage is that the recipes call for ingredients that are in season (love that). The disadvantage is that there is no other rhyme or reason to the order of the recipes. There is a good index in the back called "Vegetable Recipes by Type" that lists the recipes in the following categories for you: Asian-style dishes, egg dishes, grain-based dishes, gratins, grilled dishes, main dishes, pancakes & fritters, pickles, pies/tarts, salads, soups/stews, Southwestern-style dishes, and stir-fries. You can also look dishes up by ingredient. Still, I do a lot of flipping through every page looking for something that strikes my fancy. It's just a different format from what I am used to.

I don’t think these recipes have been kitchen tested

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

Some of the recipes (maybe even most as I haven’t tried them all) clearly haven’t been tested in the kitchen. If you’re a good cook, you’ll know instinctively how to make adjustments. It’s a great guide for a seasoned cook but I wouldn’t purchase if you’re somebody that needs precise directions.

I'm really getting into this one-a-day series

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

I know Williams-Sonoma calls this series something else, but I like to call them one-A-Days--and the more of them I buy for my collection, the better i'm liking them. And it seems the more of them I add to the collection, the more I'm using them.

I have them all lined up together on a shelf where they are easy to reach. (It is very nice that they match in size and looks.) I hesitated to pick this one up because I was concerned that this one would contain a lot of duplicates from the other books, but no, that is not an issue.

Layout is not bad: You will find (most often) two recipes sis-by-side in two columns on a page, with ingredients on top and instructions below. Type size and color are easy on the eyes. There are not pictures for each recipe. (You may like to see a picture for each recipe, but do you really need one? I don't think so. I think one should lean on their own visual instincts, their own imagination and their own creativity more often than we do these days.)

Index in a book like this needs to be extremely detailed--and this one is more than satisfactory. Of course, you will find the recipes indexed by ingredients, but you also get a secondary index that lists recipes by type of dish, flavor "theme", and cooking technique. I am going to list those headings for your because I think it will give great insight into the variety of recipes included:

Here are the headings in the "Vegetable Recipes by Type": Asian-Style Dishes, Egg Dishes, Grain-Based, Gratins, Grilled, Main Dishes, Pancakes and Fritters, Pickles, Pies Tarts & Pastries, Salads (the largest group), Soups & Stews, Southwestern-Style Dishes, and Stir-Fries.

I am a very experienced home cook and I enjoy cooking, and I even enjoy going through the daily thinking and deciding chore of "What's for dinner tonight?". I have way too many cookbooks on my library shelves, and I'm slowing down on my purchasing. (I like to read cookbooks, but I've finally learned that I do not need to buy them and keep them all.) And, yet, I will continue to buy this series as more are released.

Better Homes and Gardens seems to be competing with W-S by producing a line of "Fresh" cookbooks. They are similar in size to these W-S books, recipes are arranged differently, and layout is way more stylish and current. Those books have more pictures, and the books manage to contain the same amount of recipes by including lots of "variations" (which take up less room than separate recipes. I find that the BHG cook books work great for a less experienced or younger cook--they are a little too basic for me and give me too much information on tools, pantry items, how-to basics, sources and such. The series does make a nice gift for someone starting out. The W-S series makes a nice gift for someone "a little further along". Actually, I recommend both series. Email me (my public address is on my Profile Page) or add a comment below, if you want more input on either series.

Love it! I swore no more cookbooks

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Love it! I swore no more cookbooks, but I made an exception for this one. Easy to follow recipes, but please note that not all the vegetables will be in season in all areas (it follows a day by day format). What I like best is not simply the variety of vegetables, or the different taste sensations (many recipes are simple but offer a fresh way of combining flavors) but that the format makes it easy and fun by simply presenting each day's new choice.

This is an excellent book just for vegetables as side dish or a whole meal.
The varieties are endless. My neighbor loved it so much when she saw it
I bought one for her too.
I HIGHLY recommend this book!

good source of inspiration

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was looking for inspiration to have more healthy vegetable sides in our tool kit to support our low carb diets. There are still a lot of carb based vegetable side dishes, but I love the seasonal structure to the book (it is literally 365 days of recipes). The recipes are generally easy and without too many esoteric ingredients and the pictures are definitely mouthwatering. A good resource to have.

Agree with some of niggles mentioned but.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

It's still a great book.
As previously mentioned there isn't an index (on my kindle version, anyway) but at the start of each month there is a list of the dishes for that month. So if you have a hankering to cook 'parsnips' it doesn't take too long to go through the months. With the added bonus of finding something else you'll want to cook in the future.
Not every recipe has a picture and the ingredient weights and occasionally names are for an American reader but you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to work it out.
Cooking is about trial and error and as you get better at it, adapting recipes. I'm still very much in error territory and this book is a better companion than most of the others I own. It would of earned five stars but I just haven't made enough errors yet :)

Tolle, vielfältige Rezepte wirklich für jeden Tag

Reviewed in Germany on September 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Dieses Buch überrascht den Leser.
Das Cover lässt ja nun eher auf langweilige Eintöpfe schleißen, es finden sich aber wirklich tolle, moderne, vielfältige und meist auch mit Zutaten aus dem Supermarkt nachzukochende Rezepte.
Also wirklich Rezepte für jeden Tag.

Die Rezepte sind grob saisonal sortiert und kommen aus jeder Kategorie:
Tarts, Eintöpfe, Salate, Eiergerichte, Nudeln, Pies.

Portionen sind sowohl groß und deftig als auch klein und eher als Beilage gedacht (gebratene kleine Tomaten mit Basilikum und Feta bilden eher keine ganze Hauptspeise).

Ganz überwiegend sind die Rezepte auch vegetarisch, das eine
oder andere enthält dann aber doch Fleisch oder sehr selten (Thun-)Fisch.

Darüber kann man aber als Vegetarier oder jemand, der einfach mehr Gemüse essen möchte, hinwegsehen, da es mehr als genug Alternativen gibt.
Eine Kennzeichnung für vegane oder vegetarische Rezepte gibt es nicht.

Auf jeden Fall eignet sich das Buch auch als Familienkochbuch oder für Einsteiger, die zum ersten Mal alleine kochen müssen.
