Cookbook Giveaway — Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch
With summer produce at its peak, in all its juicy, flavorful goodness, Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch is the perfect cookbook to have on hand to take advantage of all your farmers' market booty. British food writer, cookbook author and TV personality Nigel Slater obviously has a passion for produce — his cookbook is organized by ingredient, with many recipes informally written in “garden-log” style. Whatever looks most alluring at any given moment, that’s what we should all be buying and eating, and with Nigel’s garden-inspired cookbook you’ll never be at a loss for what to cook, from asparagus to zucchini.
If the carrots look great at your farmers' market, you can flip to the “Carrots” chapter (right between “Cabbage” and “Cauliflower”) to find a little carrot primer and recipes like A Soup the Color of Marigolds, Carrot and Cilantro Fritters and A Carrot Cake with a Frosting of Mascarpone and Orange. From fun appetizers and easy sides to mains and desserts, Nigel includes them all.
Give Tender a try with these three recipes, perfect for summertime meals:
