Cooking With Vegetables - Jesse Jenkins

The stunning debut cookbook from London-LA chef and pro skater, Jesse Jenkins. This distinctive, original work redefines modern vegetable cooking.

Start with a vegetable and end up with an unashamedly delicious dish. Jesse Jenkins' flavour-forward, creative recipes and highly distinctive style take vegetable cooking to new heights with over 100 original dishes.

Cooking With Vegetables is a standout debut cookbook showing you how to elevate the humble vegetable by applying cooking methods usually reserved for meat or fish. Jesse cooks everything—from cabbage, leek, and tomato (no need for heirloom or special varieties) to fennel, seaweed, or miso-glazed zucchini—in stages to add layers of texture and make the flavours sing. He introduces dairy, meat and fish, but the starting point is always the vegetable. Inspired by his work as a chef in Los Angeles kitchens, Jesse's love of fresh, fast and laidback food ensures there's always a comforting, satisfying edge to his cooking.

Organized by type of vegetable—such as leafy veg, brassicas, root veg, eggplant, and mushrooms—and packed with Jesse's stunning photographs.
