Dear fellow cook,
With farmers’ markets in full swing, fall is the perfect time of year to break out of your vegetable routine, and [Vegetables Illustrated]( is your ultimate guide to shopping for, prepping, and cooking every vegetable, every way. Keep your eye out for unfamiliar produce and bring home anything that intrigues you; I can pretty much guarantee that weâve got a great recipe for it. Found a head of cauliflowerâs gorgeous fractal-patterned cousin, Romanesco? Then try our showstopping Whole Romanesco with Berbere and Yogurt-Tahini Sauce. Maybe you grabbed a couple of pounds of knobby, earthy sunchokesâpotato look-alikes with a creamy texture and artichoke-like flavor. Make a truly soul-satisfying, homey-yet-elegant Sunchoke Chowder. Are you used to eating radishes as an add-on to salads? Discover another dimension of their flavor with a couldnât-be-simpler recipe that was a hit with our test cooksâBaguette with Radishes, Butter, and Herbs.

[Recipes for Every Cook and Every Vegetable](
Chapters are organized from A(rtichokes) to Z(ucchini). 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 âFresh Herbsâ chapter), and all feature beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and full-color photos that reveal the beauty of each vegetableâs 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 theyâre 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. Donât do this: Refrigeration will cause sweet potatoesâ 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.

[Asparagus - Springâs Star Vegetable](
Thick or thin, asparagus is sweet, nutty, and grassy, with a pleasing texture. We only eat young asparagusâthe 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 ageâa 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, theyâre sweeter, buttery, and more expensive).

[SNAP OR PEEL? â You may have heard that snapping the woody bases off asparagus spears is the easiest way to prep them for cooking. It turns out that a spear snapped off at its natural breaking point loses an average of half its weightâand 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 â Trim off the ends and stand the spears up in a glass or jar filled with 1 inch of water. Cover with plastic wrap.](

[Carrots - Love them as much as Bugs Bunny.](
The bright orange carrots you know have been bred and grown specifically for their size, juiciness, crunch and sweetness. 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 sizesâchopped, sliced, spiralized, and even left whole, for a dramatic presentation.
[ROASTED CARROTS WITH SHALLOTS AND CHERMOULA â Hereâs a fresh treatment and a beautiful presentation for one of Americaâs 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. An intensely flavorful green chermoula sauce (with garlic, lemon, serrano chile, and cilantro) and toasted pine nuts balance the sweetness of the caramelized carrots.](

[CARROTRIVIA: ⢠Originally grown for the leaves and seeds rather than the root (the part we eat). ⢠Cooking carrots releases more of their healthy beta-carotene. ⢠Wild carrots originated in Persia and were deep purple. The first cultivated carrots, grown in Afghanistan in roughly 900 AD, were purple and white.](
