Down To Earth

This workbook is in response to the question, "How do I cook that?" The methods are straight forward—boiling, broiling, baking, and simmering. When you use these recipes remember they are meant as a basic guide to the flavours, uses and exotic textures of many lesser known vegetables found at local farmers' markets. There is plenty of room for creativity—a bit more oregano here, omit the garlic there, or add something extra. Keep track of your experiments and how long they took to prepare in the space provided. It is your personal touch that will make Down to Earth come alive.
