In Roots, seasoned cookbook author Diane Morgan focuses on the overlooked history and uses of root vegetables, and how they can be used to great effect in all cooking, from savory to sweet. During a visit to a farmer’s market in Portland, Oregon, Morgan was struck by her wide eyed unfamiliarity with burdock root. This moment set her on a course to learn more about familiar and unfamiliar produce growing down in the dirt. She proclaims she wrote the book for selfish reasons, wanting a definitive, comprehensive reference book and cookbook containing simple and creative root vegetable recipes, and she’s done just that. In over 225 recipes that spread across 432 pages Morgan delves into the history and lore of 29 major root vegetables and provides practical insight from nutritional information to basic use & storage to seasonal availability. In her search to learn more about root vegetables, Morgan has created a book that is plainly insightful and powerful. Simply put, following her advice about the diverse range of root vegetables available will enhance your cooking confidence and satisfy your hunger, making the book an indispensable tool in your kitchen.
