Each chapter opens with an introduction to the vegetable and its seasonal availability (many are available year-round), along with shopping and storage pointers, the newest information on different varieties, and the best prep methods for each vegetable. Many chapters include vegetable science (if cilantro tastes soapy to you, find out why in the “Fresh Herbs” chapter), and all feature beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and full-color photos that reveal the beauty of each vegetable’s transformation during cooking. Let’s Start With Sweet Potatoes . . . [SWEET POTATOES: "Don't call me yam."]( Sweet potatoes are emphatically not the same vegetable as yams, which can grow to be 5 feet long. This may come as a surprise, but sweet potatoes are not related to potatoes, either. They are actually members of the morning glory family, whereas potatoes belong to the nightshade family. But they’re nearly as versatile in the kitchen as regular potatoes and can be cooked in many of the same preparations, though the techniques need to be adjusted to account for the higher sugar and lower starch content of sweet potatoes. Don’t do this: Refrigeration will cause sweet potatoes’ cores to change texture and become distressingly similar to a damp cork. Do this: Store them in a cool ventilated spot for up to 1 month. Or at room temperature, they will keep for a week or two. [Roasted Spiralized Sweet Potatoes with Walnuts and Feta]( [Nature’s candy, give me some please.

ORDER NOW ›]( [Asparagus - Spring’s Star Vegetable]( Thick or thin, asparagus is sweet, nutty, and grassy, with a pleasing texture. We only eat young asparagus—the new shoots of an underground crown that can grow up to 20 years. You might assume that thinner spears are younger and more tender than thicker ones. However, the thickness of an asparagus spear has nothing to do with its age—a thin spear will not mature into a thick spear. The diameter is determined by the age of the entire plant (younger crowns produce more slender stalks) and its variety. In addition to the familiar green spears, you may see purple spears (turn green when cooked) and white spears (grown without sunlight, they’re sweeter, buttery, and more expensive).

It turns out that a spear snapped off at its natural breaking point loses an average of half its weight—and a lot of tasty asparagus. Discover the test kitchen trick to avoid sacrificing perfectly good asparagus and produce long, elegant-looking spears that cook evenly every time. HOW TO STORE — Trim off the ends and stand the spears up in a glass or jar filled with 1 inch of water. Cover with plastic wrap.]( [SAVE 50%.

They’ve become known as Western carrots and are nature’s sweetest vegetable next to beets. The trick to getting carrots to taste their best is to cook them to the proper texture. Undercooked carrots are better suited for rabbits; overcooked carrots may conjure memories of the mushy carrots of your youth. In our test kitchen, we perfected plenty of recipes using different varieties and sizes—chopped, sliced, spiralized, and even left whole, for a dramatic presentation. [ROASTED CARROTS WITH SHALLOTS AND CHERMOULA — Here’s a fresh treatment and a beautiful presentation for one of America’s favorite vegetables: Carrots are halved lengthwise, coated with melted butter, and roasted on the lower oven rack; the butter and the roasting position promote better browning.
