So many books so little time! An old cookbook that is fabulous for vegetables is The Victory Garden Cookbook by Marian Morash from Asparagus to Zucchini it does it all.Perfect Recipes for Having People Over by Pam Anderson has a nice selection of tasty recipes that also answer questions: when to serve, how to vary, and what about leftovers, and how far ahead can it be made. Many of the recipes can be incorporated into a daily repertoire. A book that has gotten well deserved cudos and one I love is Happy in the Kitchen by Michel Richard. This is a book to experiment with on weekends. There are many different techniques and the recipes are written well. Don't overlook your local weekly food section to jump start ideas. Have fun!
