More than just recipes, Fast, Fresh & Green really breaks down the basics of how you can handle all different kinds of vegetables, including ones you may have been scared to use in the past. There is so much great information and many wonderful recipes, but the photos alone in this book would be worth the price of admission. It's absolutely gorgeous. Whether you're a pro or amateur with veggies, you *need* this handy reference book for veggies on your shelf.
I also love where Susie is coming from with her info; she's not a vegetarian or a "nutrition nut" as she puts it, but she does "think it would be better for the planet and our well-being if we ate a little less meat and a few more vegetables." I couldn't agree more. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book (in case you couldn't tell).

I first read this book on my Kindle, as a library loan. I prefer hard copy books for recipe collections though, so as soon as my loan expired, I bought the paperback version. The recipes are simple and delicious. No long list of ingredients, no complicated cooking techniques. Just simple, fresh flavors.

Few cookbooks take the time to provide the information contained in this vegetable cookbook compiled by the current editor-at-large of Fine Cooking magazine. The cooking instructions Middleton offers are the key to why someone would buy it and differentates it from all the other vegetable cookbooks on the shelves. Not only does Middleton take the time to make sure your pantry is filled with the implements and seasonings that are essential to cooking delicious vegetables, but she also takes the time to educate the reader on vegetable selection and their proper storage. The next nine chapters of the cookbook walk the reader through the different techniques you should use to cook vegetables, and she provides a 'foundation recipe' for each technique. Several recipes using each technique follows and allows you practice each flavor profile and sample your side dish. Her instructions are clear and explain precisely how to accomplish techniques, ie, "Quick Braising," "Hands-On Sauteing," "Walk-Away Sauteing" and "Two-Stepping." Conquering each skillset enables the cook to compose dishes beyond the book's recipes using in-season vegetables with complete confidence. This is more than you could ask for from a cookbook. The recipes are easy to read and beautifully photographed. Most recipes are written for small quantities, normally serving 3-5 people, and all recipes are created to be cooked in 30 minutes. This book is wonderful for those trying to increase their daily servings of vegetables and each recipe will easily leave enough for the cook to include in their lunch the next day. I'll be using this cookbook often, it is certainly well-thought out, well laid out and informative. A real winner!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....Yes, I do remember the distinguished English professor cautioning the class that one can't love 'things,' only 'persons.' But he had never encountered Susie Middleton's "Fast Fresh & Green" vegetable cookbook. Dear Susie's cookbook, I love your variety. Over ninety veggie recipes. We have the standard veggies - turnips, zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage and company. But we also have kale, beets, and leeks, curly endive and mustard greens and all those other seldom actually eaten (by me) veggies. I love that the book is easy to access and arranged by vegetable. If I buy fava beans or fennel, I can easily find their recipes. There's no 'cute' arrangement. And each large print recipe gets its own page complete with interesting introduction and easy-to-follow directions. I love the full page color plates. (Though we have all been reminded over and over that food pictures aren't really FOOD.) But most of all, I love the recipes. My personal cookbook test is to open the book to three random pages and see if I like the offerings on at least two. So here are three random samples and their facing pages: Spinach with Shallots and Parmigiano/Mahogany Mushrooms; Gingery Braised Brussels Sprouts/Cider-Braised Baby Bok Choy and Golden Apples; Stir-Fried Carrots with Ginger, Lime, and Cilantro/Speedy Stir-Fried Asparagus with Toasted Garlic. Five stars and highly recommended for those who love their veggies and those who would like to. The recipes are simple, flavorful, and use primarily ingredients that are easily obtained.

This is an excellent reference for the experienced cook and for a novice. I have the ebook version but I will consider getting a print version for my library of cookbooks .
