Seven chapters guide the reader from soups, salads and small dishes through to pasta, rice dishes and more substantial fare.

Published to celebrate the centenary of Elizabeth's birth, Elizabeth David on Vegetables is a must-have for anyone wishing to give vegetables a starring role in the kitchen.
