Fields of Greens: New Vegetarian Recipes From The Celebrated Greens Restaurant
The recipes are a little exotic with unusal vegetables and combinations, but a excellent cookbook nonetheless. A great cookbook for recipes for a romantic dinner that is completely vegetarian.
Rating: 4 / 5
It’s rare that a cookbook consistently produces excellent results, recipe after recipe. Well, Fields of Greens is one of those rare cookbooks.
The book exudes the author’s love for cooking, for vegetables, and for pleasing the palates’ of her customers and readers alike. When she cooks, she makes love to her food: one can just picture her going to the farmers’ market or her garden picking the most delectable vegetable or fruit and smelling the produce, then cooking up some delicious recipe and then sharing it with her guests, customers or readers. No kidding: go ahead. Read the book and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
A vegetarian friend of mine recommended the book. My husband and I are not vegetarians, but the recipes in this cookbook are so good that you forget there isn’t a single morsel of meat. Each recipe is concise, well explained, and there are many hints and suggestions that one may find useful. Everything is made from scratch, and therefore some recipes are laborious, but the end result is surely worth the effort.
Whenever I want to impress guests, I cook from this cookbook. I’ve tried many recipes, and each time they come out very, very good. Try the mushroom risotto (perfection!), the winter squash and leeks turnovers, or the African vegetarian stew. Or maybe one of the soups, pizzas or deserts.
I hope that you too will find this book a wonderful addition to your classic cookbook collection.
Bon Appetit!
