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 was the first official “vegetable butcher” at Eataly in New York City. She is the owner and executive chef of Little Eater, a produce-inspired restaurant named by the Washington Post as “one of the 50 best places in the world to eat your vegetables,” and Little Eater Produce and Provisions, an associated local and artisanal foods boutique, in Columbus, Ohio, where she lives with her family.
