Product Description
Roasting vegatbles concentrtes their sugars and brings out complex, caramelized flavors that render them irresistible. Now, Andrea Chesman assembles a mouthwatering collection of 150 meat-free recipes, from simple sides like Cider-Glazed Acorn Squash to main dishes like Spring Casserole of Roasted Asparagus and Artichokes.Ther are also sensational soups and starters, sandwiches, entrees ranging from homey to elegant, and much more.Amazon.com Review
"This is a cookbook for vegetable lovers--and vegetable haters," says Andrea Chesman in The Roasted Vegetable. Her argument is that roasting veggies brings out their "hidden sweet, nutty flavors," making them irresistible to carrot-hating kids and vegan adults alike. She supports this theory with 150 tantalizing recipes, starting with a sizeable serving of side dishes, then broadening to include salsas, soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, tofu, granola, and more. Beyond obvious inclusions like roasted peppers, french fries, and chestnuts, there's Garlic Puree ("like a basic black dress, it goes with almost anything") and Roasted Kohlrabi, which "looks like a spaceship that has sprouted leaves." Another standout is the Roasted Tomato Sauce, for which tomatoes are roasted up to one and a half hours until they've broken down to form a thick sauce; the recipe also has variations for pasta, enchiladas, and Middle Eastern dishes. In addition, the book covers basic techniques and equipment and includes a handy roasting chart--all aimed to help readers' roasted vegetables come out perfectly "tender-crisp." --Andy Boynton ...

I love this cookbook
So many great recipes here. As with the author's other cookbook on grains (which I recommend), you can very the recipes to your own taste. I prefer more vegetables than pasta so when I make the Summer Roasted Vegetable Pasta Salad, I make it with just 4 oz of pasta without reducing the vegetables. The flavor in the recipe is *amazing.* I'm surprised how much I've come to love this cookbook- she makes vegetables taste so delicious.

Excellent!
I have both the Roasted Vegetable and The Vegetarian Grill by Andrea Chesman for almost 6-7 years and I still love them both.There are so many recipes for grilling and roasting vegetables that you can't run out of ideas!When I feel lazy, I stick things into the oven and when I feel like grilling, I use the recipes from The Vegetarian Grill.Some of them have become our family favorites.This book is good for vegetarians and occasional vegetarians alike.

Makes Your Veggies Taste Great!
We all need to eat more vegetables and this book, The Roasted Vegetable, will make your vegetable dishes delicious! The recipes are easy to make too!

Rutabaga!
Andrea Chesman, The Roasted Vegetable (Harvard Common, 2002)

A cookbook dedicated to the vegetable? Not a vegetarian cookbook, necessarily, but one that tells you how to get the most flavor out of the vegetables you use, and a number you don't but probably should? Sign me up. The Roasted Vegetable is that cookbook, and vegetarian as well (not vegan, as a number of these recipes call for chicken broth as opposed to vegetable; the flavor of chicken broth, according to Chesman, is more neutral than most commercial vegetable broths). Most cookbooks, even the vegetarian ones, seem to give the vegetable short shrift, relegating it to second-fiddle status behind the protein of choice, be that meat or soy, but it's the greens (and purples and reds and oranges and...) that take center stage here, and that is a wonderful thing.

There is a dark side, however. In most cookbooks, the concentration of any given ingredient is kind of spread out, so you can gloss over the subset of recipes that contains, say, coconut or pigs' feet or whatever makes you cringe. In my case, however, one of those things is eggplant, and once you get to the main dish section of this book, glossing over is an impossibility; Chesman, unlike most vegetarian cooks I've read, seems to consider the eggplant, rather than the portobello, the best way to make a vegetable into a meat substitute. (Soy fans take note: there is a small, but decent, section of tofu and tempeh recipes.) Of course, as Chesman points out once or twice, you can simply substitute meat, and I'm more than willing to admit it's just my personal ick factor that turned me off here, but man, there is so much eggplant in these pages. Ugh.

Don't let my eggplant phobia color your judgment (unless you're as repulsed by it as I am). There's so much other great stuff here it's worth your time. Where else are you going to get the definitive recipe for the most underused vegetable in America, the rutabaga? ***

Simple and De-Licious
When I first started using this cookbook, I used it more than any other.After a year, I was still using it more than any other.And so it goes on....This is the way to cook delicious, healthy and simple food that is easily adjusted to your taste preferences.Recipes are clear and ingredients are readily available.Best to buy at the Farmer's Market. ...

And in Nick's hands, easy-to-make sandwiches and breads, for which Italy is famous, become works of art.

Nick Stellino's Passione speaks as much to the heart as it does to the taste buds.It draws on the rich culinary history of Nick's native Italy, shares the secrets of Italian home cooks, and features unique touches that could only come from this charismatic personality. ... Read more

Wow!
I own all of Nick Stellino's books but had used this one least b/c of my fear of pasta, pizza, and panini--in other words, the ever-dreaded carbos! But it's fall now, and I was ready to throw my fear of carbo-loading to the wind...first stop, PIZZA.Today was my 'maiden voyage,' (and I had hoped it wouldn't end up like that of the Titanic!).I couldn't believe what smooth sailing it was.Nick gives alternate kneading methods, by hand or mixer--I chose the easy way out!I made enough dough for four 12" pizzas. (I got carried away with myself b/c it took no time or effort at all).Didn't have mozzerella to make pizza, so Nick conveniently had flatbread recipes--and that was where I began.With some fresh rosemary, garlic, a hint of red pepper,a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and olive oil, it was so simple and came out of the oven looking like...well, bread!Like it was supposed to...not a 'wannabe,' but the real thing.I impressed myself, I must say. I'll make it for a dinner I'm planning to give next weekend. Dough is easily refrigerated or frozen to use whenever.Another pleasant surprise--Nick tells you how to make pizza sauce, no need to buy it--using canned, jarred, or homemade as a base, then adding a few extra ingredients, blending in processor, done.That's another item crossed off my pizza grocery list. It was like he was leading me by the hand.I am so glad I had this book in my kitchen library.I'm getting ready to dive into pasta, and I know I'll be using this book again. ... Read more

Outstanding!
This book is truly wonderful.I love to make dishes from this cookbook all of the time.This is a "must have" for vegans and vegetarians!

Fabulous cookbook!
I have had this cookbook about a month and made 7 recipes...they have all been wonderful!I can't wait to buy more Veggie Times cookbooks!

Great Find!
Friends introduced us to this cookbook, knowing that we eat vegetarian and follow the Mediterranean diet. What a joy!

My only problem to date (I've made 4 recipes to date - our friends an additional 3 or 4) has been a major typo in one of the recipes that left me unsure how to layer a casserole. I went with my best guess, and it was very good!

Highly recommended. Great flavors, great variety. I get tired of people saying that to not eat high-fat (especially "bad" fat) foods like burgers, fries, bacon, etc., is bland and boring and somehow to be disdained. WRONG! We eat so much better than that! and will eat even better now that we have this book.

Vegetarian Times Cooks Mediterranean
I adore this cookbook!It is witty, fun to read, full of healthful insight and provides an excellent history not only of the regions of the Mediterranean and their culture, but how the residents of this area developed a healthy diet out of necessity.The selections are outstandingand I am enjoying this cookbook immensely.I highly recommend this bookfor anyone interested in healthy eating, diabetics and vegetarians.I havea new found desire to live in Greece or Italy, shop at the market daily formy day's meals and work in the olive groves! ...

You Too Can Be A Chef For A Day
Whether you're an experienced chef or beginner, you will enjoy this book. Not only did I read it - I also experimented with
several of the recipes - the results were fantastic! We
have decided to try each and every recipe.

beautiful Italian language properly. Which for the

Much more than a cook book, The Basic Art of Italian
Cooking takes you on a tour of Italy, from the comfort
of your own home. You can almost smell the food, feel
the breezeand see the vineyards, due to the depth
and reach of Maria's writing. All the stories about
her family, the origin of the recipes, and the detailed
directions, this is a good read, with delicious
conclusions. Definitely a book that will not spend
much time on the shelf.

Supermodel?Cook?
I think the author uses great imagination and distortion when she claims that she was a supermodel.Upon reviewing this book, I have to say that her desire to be seen as a cook is right up there with the delusions that she was a *supermodel*, something that there is at least a set of criteria one must have met.She may have been a model, but was average at it - much like her cooking - average, nothing special here.

Food, cooking, romance, travel
A beautiful,delicious trip to Italy. It'sa great cookbook, but it's also a wonderful 'read'. It's so easy to 'lose yourself' while reading and imagine yourself eating one of these scrumptious dishes in some of the most beautiful places in Italy.

A cookbook, travel book, romance book all in one. I found the recipes easy to follow. My husband and I had a wonderful Valentine's day dinner by using the Romantic dinner for two suggestion in the back. We cooked the meal together-which made the dinner more romantic and added the suggested wine.

storia meravigliose dell'alimento elegante! mangi l'italiano!!!
