The Vegetable Butcher

An A-to-Z veggie primer, where the craft of butchery meets the pleasure of garden-fresh vegetables. A beautiful and practical book, packed with how-to prep info (and step-by-step photos) and more than 100 modern, exciting recipes featuring vegetables at the center of the plate. Winner of an IACP Award and a James Beard Award finalist.

CARA MANGINI, who comes from a family of traditional butchers, was one of the first official “vegetable butchers” at Eataly in New York City. She is now the owner and executive chef of Little Eater, a produce-inspired restaurant, and Little Eater Produce and Provisions, an associated local and artisanal foods boutique, in Columbus, Ohio.
