Would you like a cardoon to go along with your horned cucumber? If you knew what those were, you might! This extensive compilation of veggies has happily made its way from Das Große Buch der Gemüse aus aller Welt to The Vegetable Bible. Though a little grandeur was lost in translation–the original title is The Big Book of Vegetables from All Around the World–this remains a true treasure trove of information. (Did you know, for example, that you can eat those pesky dandelion leaves and clover tops that are probably infesting your lawn? Just be sure that they haven’t been anywhere near pesticides or too close to exhaust fumes.) Even sea vegetables have their place in this compendium of savory produce! Each vegetable is accompanied by a photograph and a step-by-step description of how to prepare and serve it.
