Product Description:
The potager, or French vegetable garden, represents the very best of French cuisine: fresh, flavorful, and easily accessible for home cooks everywhere. In Vegetable Harvest, Patricia Wells presents a collection of recipes inspired by the garden she tends at her home in Provence.
No one has done more than Patricia to bring the art and techniques of French cooking into American kitchens. Now, in her tenth cookbook, she covers every kind of produce favored by French cooks from north to south. In addition, there are charming profiles of French farmers, home gardeners, and cooks, with sixty-five stunning color photographs.
From arugula to zucchini, Patricia offers up a wealth of dishes that incorporate vegetables, herbs, nuts, legumes, and fruits fresh from the garden. And her recipes aren't limited to summer's bounty—there are plenty for fall squash and winter potatoes, too.
The recipes in Vegetable Harvest include everything from appetizers, soups, and salads, to meats, poultry, and pasta. There are classics like Spicy Butternut Squash Soup, Roast Leg of Lamb with Honey and Mint Crust, and Pea and Mint Risotto, as well as innovative new dishes that are sure to become time-honored favorites, such as Potato-Chive Waffles with Smoked Salmon, Capers, and Crème Fraîche, Tomato and Strawberry Gazpacho, and Zucchini Blossoms Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Basil. To finish your meal with a flourish, there are decadent, fruity desserts like Pistachio-Cherry Cake with Cherry Sorbet, Rhubarb-Berry Compote in Grenadine, and Crunchy Almond-Pear Cake. In addition, there is a chapter on pantry staples that includes Patricia's recipes for Zesty Lemon Salt, Truffle Butter, and Fresh Cilantro Sauce.
And while Patricia's wonderful dishes sound sinful, they are in fact quite healthful, low in fat and calories; nutritional information is given for each recipe.
With Vegetable Harvest, you'll be eating the best nature has to offer—fresh, flavorful produce—all year round.
Amazon.com Review:
To dispense with a puzzlement right away--though named Vegetable Harvest, Patricia Wells's marvelous 190-plus recipe collection doesn't center on those edibles exclusively. Rather, it offers a well-rounded dish selection that puts them to brilliant use, often as supporting players (except, of course, in chapters titled "Vegetables" and "Potatoes"). This bit of culinary license shouldn't discourage anyone from buying the book, whose recipes, such as Baby Squid Salad with Garlic, Olives, Tomatoes and Parsley; Penne with Fava Beans, Basil Puree, and Parmesan; and Lamb Couscous with Chickpeas and Zucchini, exemplify all that's remarkable about Wells's approach to modern French cooking. Emphasizing simplicity, ingredient freshness and, yes, ease of preparation, the dishes--including breads and desserts like Lemon and Rosemary Flatbread and Almond Buttermilk Sorbet--will delight any cook who prizes direct yet brilliantly orchestrated flavor. In addition to wine advice, Wells also offers a pantry chapter including sauce and vinaigrette recipes--Creamy Lemon-Chive Dressing is one--nearly worth owning the book for. In works including The Provence Cookbook and Bistro Cooking, Wells brought French cooking to the American kitchen in a way both authentic and relaxed. Vegetable Harvest furthers that approach spectacularly. --Arthur Boehm

After reading some of the negative reviews I almost didn't buy this book. Since I have Patricia Wells' other books, I thought I would bite the bullet and try this one. I'm so happy I did! I read the introductions to each recipe in one sitting and imagined I was in France again. Yes, some of the recipes are simple, but others are more complex. You can choose what you're in the mood for. There are recipes for winter vegetables and summer vegetables. I made the simple pepper soup (with orange peppers) ... Read More

I tend to ignore my cookbooks and just use [...], but on the advice of a friend I bought this book, since I'm going mostly vegetarian. One of the things I particularly appreciate is that Wells tells you up front what equipment you need - very helpful to those of us with tiny apartments who would dearly love to have a rice cooker or indoor grill but would have to get rid of some important furniture for that. Also if you need parchment paper, it's helpful to know that at the front of the recipe.

My goodness! Some of the gushing reviewers sound like they're working for Patricia Wells's publisher! I've always liked her cookbooks; my copy of "Bistro Cooking" is full of cooking stains. And I have a thing for cookbooks. But this one is not worth the money. There's little new here, except for an annoying tendency to stick "piment d'espelette" (try finding THAT in the supermarket) in everything. I have a huge vegetable garden, but I'm much more likely to reach for books by Deborah Madison or Marion Morash ... Read More

'a joy to experience' is the only way to describe Patricia Wells "Vegetable Harvest".
As an experienced cook and caterer I applaud the bravery and insight of the author to create this tome which unashamedly champions the bounty of her personal garden .
One niggle was as an Australian I found the lack of metric measurement in recipes a frustration.
Vegetable Harvest" is inspirational in its prose, and entertaining with quotes and wine suggestions. One gets the impression of health and vitality ... Read More

This book is both a visual feast for the eyes and a salute to vegetables and the farmers/growers responsible. The book, the latest in a number of cookbooks written by this author, is designed around the premise that vegetables should be center stage on the plate. Instead of creating meals around meats, fish or poultry, the author writes in the introduction she began putting the vegetables first and working everything else around that.
The result is a colorful ode to vegetables that provides many different ... Read More
