Gennaro's Verdure Over 80 vibrant Italian vegetable dishes

Gennaro Contaldo

Book - 2024

"This brand-new cookbook from Gennaro Contaldo is 6th with long-time US publishing home, Interlink Books. In Gennaro's Verdure, beloved Italian chef, Gennaro Contaldo transforms humble vegetables from side dish material into the hero of the plate, using punchy flavors from staple ingredients. Structured by color, in chapters that group recipes into vegetable families, Gennaro champions their versatility and breaks the common misconception that veggies lack in texture and flavor. From Beet Carpaccio to Pea Souffle, Asparagus Carbonara, Tomato Sorbet, and Spinach "plumcake"; Gennaro maximizes the star-quality potential of the unassuming veggies that sit at the back of our fridge. Not all recipes are entirely plant-based, b...ut all include plants. These are innovative meals with an Italian touch; uncompromising in flavor and more than sufficient for hungry flexitarians, vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters alike"--

Review by Booklist Review

Italian chef Contaldo (Gennaro's Limoni, 2021), who has authored over a dozen books, comes quite close to an all-vegetarian cookbook with this celebration of all things verdure that includes a smattering of animal proteins here and there. Some highlights: cabbage strudel with baked ricotta, polenta lasagna with mushrooms and pea soufflés, tuna-filled artichoke hearts. Contaldo introduces each of the 28 vegetables he deems most commonly found with quick fun facts (for instance, Spain and Italy are the largest broccoli producers) plus good, sensible advice on cookery, prepping, cultivating, and similar topics. One to five dishes appear for each vegetable, from artichokes and asparagus to radicchio and tomatoes, categorized by color: green, red, sunshine, and purple. Among the more unexpected recipes are celery pesto, carrot soufflés with parsley sauce, and pasta with asparagus carbonara. Contaldo ensures that all facets of the traditional menu are covered, particularly the main dishes and the sides. A rainbow of verdure.
