For the Vegetarian with Soul
Guidelines for Creating
Great Vegetable Dishes
Buy vegetables that are in season. It is your greatest guarantee of quality and economical price.
Buy local vegetables, if possible, or grow your own.
Usually vegetablesthat are in season at the same time taste good together. Combine them, using your imagination and sense of color.
A wok is great for stir-fying but not totally necessary. A frying pan will wo just fine. A steamer is an excellent investment. You cna use the one that sits in the bottom of the pan. Or, cheat like me and buy an elcetric one with a timer. Fool-proof .
Use the minimum mount of water and the least amount of time. Cook vegetables until softened, but still crisp.
If you are using oil. Use virgin olive.
