Mr Wilkinson's Favourite Vegetables: Autumn

Delicious autumn recipes focussing on seasonal vegetables, with plenty of choice for both vegetarians and omnivores.

For chef Matt Wilkinson, vegetables come first. Whether he's cooking in the kitchen of his Melbourne eatery Pope Joan or for his young family at home, Matt plans and builds his dishes around the vegetables in season, when they'll taste the best, be cheapest and most readily available.

Today too many of us - chefs and home cooks alike - plan our meals around the meat (or protein) and carbohydrate components letting the vegetables play second fiddle. In this book Matt Wilkinson lets his favourite vegetables take centre stage. This beautifully illustrated book will appeal to vegetarians but it's not a vegetarian cookbook. There are plenty of dishes incorporating meat but Mr Wilkinson's favourite vegetables are the true stars.

Recipes include: potato scallops; pumpkin mash with fish fingers; cucumber and yoghurt soup; linguini of broccoli, herbs and hazelnut crumb; zucchini-wrapped john dory; horseradish and celeriac salad with sugar & salt cured beef; and many more.
