I have an Italian cookbook called Verdura which is about the celebration of vegetables rather than about substitution for meat (which so many "vegetarian" cookbooks and chefs so tediously do), and it's been my standby for a decade. Colour, texture, concentration of flavour, variety... vegetables are fantastic, especially when you grow \them yourself, and take them straight from garden to kitchen, when they've still got all the life in them. Oh, I'm a meat-eater and my garden is the size of a car. But vegetables, really, do rock. You’re so right.
