My favorite method for learning how to cook with vegetables
This was how I learned!
- Subscribe to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). This is a farm box of veggies. Typically you pay in advance for a month or a quarter and then you pick up the box from the farm or a pickup location near you. Find one in your area here.
- Buy a vegetarian cookbook. I love the Williams & Sonoma vegetarian cookbook.
- Whatever comes in your CSA box that week, open your cookbook to the index in the back and find that vegetable. Make a new recipe.
Pretty soon you will know the best ways to prepare them all! And you'll be eating locally grown food.
Here is a recent box of veggies from Rutiz Farms in Oceano, CA.
