The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen

Peter Berley's mission is to show how the simple act of cooking food can enliven your senses and nourish your life—from going to the farmers[?]arket and outfitting your kitchen with the simplest, most useful tools to learning techniques and sharing meals with friends and family. The much-admired former chef of Angelica Kitchen, one of New York City's finest restaurants, Berley takes you through the seasons, with more than two hundred sumptuous recipes that feature each ingredient at its peak.
