I really like this book. If you're a fan of the Cook's Illustrated process of exhaustive testing and reduction of a recipe to its basic elements, and a fan of vegetables, you'll be in heaven.
It covers 53 different vegetables, and is organized by vegetable, not by recipe type. So you look up the veggie you are interested in and find general preparation and cooking instructions, followed by a 'master recipe' and several variations.
This organization rewards discovery and experimentation - we've just had this since Christmas, but intend to work our way through it systematically, especially as produce pops up in the markets this spring and summer.
