Following in the footsteps of generation upon generation of his forebears he typifies a fresh reflowering of interest in new and newly rediscovered varieties of vegetables. An interest that finds its rightful place on today's plates and that is amply demonstrated by the fresh and original recipes proposed here by 40 French chefs, amateurs and professionals alike, who show what is possible with the right, top-quality produce from a virtuoso farmer. Grant Symon, inventive and award-winning photographer, reveals a natural yet sophisticated image of these vegetables and their recipes to produce a book that will inspire you to take an ardent inter-est in the world of vegetables, to seek out the best, and to prepare them with the passion that they truly deserve.
