A Vegetarian Cookbook, Kind Of Cal Peternell Hardcover Cooking / Regional & Cultural / American From the IACP Award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Twelve Recipes comes a charming vegetable-focused cookbook with recipes that add depths of flavor using three key ingredients: almonds, anchovies, and pancetta Cal Peternell’s food harks back to the ways people have eaten for generations—using vegetables as the center of the plate, seasoned with a little bit of meat or fish to create a delicious and satisfying meal. Across the world, people love how a smoky ham hock can transform pots of beans and skillets of greens into a savory feast; how rice absorbs the flavors of chicken stock when simmered over low heat; and how shavings of bonito brine broths. Like our ancestors, Cal knows that you don’t need a slab of steak, pork, chicken, or fish to eat well; a little of the right kind of meat goes a long way.
