Books like Vegetables: The Most Authoritative Guide to Buying, Preparing, and Cooking with More than 300 Recipes

The photographs are beautiful and this book is packed with information, but I found it hard to read. Each recipe is printed in two colors and in multiple fonts and font sizes. The directions are so small that they are difficult to read, but at the same time, there is a lot of white space on each page. This is annoying since this is a cookbook and most people who use it to cook are going to want to be able to easily read the instructions. This is not a vegetarian cookbook, many of the recipes include meat. Many of the recipes sound great but some vegetables get more attention than others, there are pages of recipes for zucchini and chile peppers but only a couple of pages of recipes for asparagus or cabbage. The book is packed with information and the general instructions for stews, soups, salads and other basic dishes in the front encourage experimentation and innovation.
