James Strawbridge showcases more than 60 vegetables, season by season, from asparagus and artichoke through to fennel and celeriac, exploring each plant's unique characteristics, varieties, and the best ways to prepare it. Annotated photographs make it easy to identify edible parts and varieties at a glance, while clear, practical guidance covers storing produce correctly and preserving surplus harvests so nothing goes to waste. Over 135 recipes span hearty mains, light lunches and vibrant sides, all developed to put vegetables front and centre rather than as an afterthought. Strawbridge's genuine advocacy for zero-waste cooking shines throughout, with handy top tips and techniques such as making stocks from scraps, drying, pickling, fermenting and roasting to transform leftovers into delicious new dishes. Whether you're moving towards a more plant-based diet, embracing a meat-free lifestyle, or simply want fresh inspiration for the vegetables in your weekly veg box, this book delivers the knowledge and confidence to cook better and waste less. It's a practical, beautifully designed reference that earns its place on any kitchen shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal structure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetables are grouped by season, making weekly meal planning simple and intuitive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver 135 recipes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hearty mains, light lunches and sides that put vegetables first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnnotated photography:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear visual guides to edible parts and vegetable varieties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZero-waste techniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Practical tips for pickling, fermenting, drying and using scraps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrusted expertise:\u003c\/strong\u003e Written by an award-winning chef with genuine sustainable-living credentials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJames Strawbridge is an award-winning Cornish chef, food photographer and sustainable-living advocate.
