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.
