Like most Italians, the great Antonio Carluccio loves vegetables. In this book he turns his attention to his favourites, and many others, adding up to over 100 different varieties.

He researches the botanical family of each type of vegetable, its history, describes in loving detail how to buy and prepare it - and in over 150 recipes tells us how to make the most of the humble veg, whether eaten raw, cooked or preserved.

There are pastas with vegetables, soups, vegetable bakes and salads, risottos, pickles, stews, tarts and dips. There are even some sweet cakes and biscuits based around vegetables.

The Italian way with vegetables is renowned the world over, the Carluccio way with vegetables is unsurpassed, and this book is an essential for every kitchen.

About the Author

Antonio Carluccio, the Godfather of Italian food, is widely recognized as one of Italy's greatest food ambassadors. Having moved to London in 1975, Antonio set up and ran the Neal Street Restaurant and spent 10 years developing the hugely successful Carluccio's restaurants. In 1998, he was awarded the title of Commendatore by decree of the President of Italy for his knowledge, enthusiasm and lifetime's service to the Italian food industry, and in 2007 he received the OBE. He has written eighteen bestselling books, and made numerous television programmes - the latest being the second series of the enormously successful Two Greedy Italians series.
