Start with a vegetable and end up with an unashamedly delicious dish.

Jesse Jenkins’ flavor-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 or tomato (no need for heirloom or special varieties) to fennel, seaweed or miso-glazed courgette – in stages to add layers of texture and make the flavors sing. He introduces dairy, meat and fish, but the starting point is always the vegetable. Inspired by his work as a chef in LA 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, aubergine and mushrooms – and packed with Jesse’s stunning photographs, Cooking: With Vegetables redefines modern vegetable cooking.
