This brand-new cookbook from Gennaro Contaldo is his ninth with
long-term publishing home, Pavilion. In Gennaro’s Verdura,
Gennaro transforms humble vegetables from side dish material into
the hero of the plate, using punchy flavours from staple
ingredients. Structured by colour chapters that group recipes into
vegetable families, Gennaro champions their versatility and breaks
the common misconception that vegetables lack in texture and
flavour. This unique approach not only adds visual appeal but also
allows for easy navigation and exploration of the wonderful world
of vegetables. In the first segment, Green Vegetables, Gennaro
highlights the crisp freshness and health benefits of greens like
asparagus, spinach, and broccoli. He transforms these humble
ingredients into culinary masterpieces; try Gennaro's Asparagus
Carbonara, a delightful twist on the classic pasta dish, and be
tempted by his Spinach "plumcake," a unique creation that combines
savoury and sweet flavours. In Red Vegetables, Gennaro celebrates
the vibrant hues and rich flavours of produce such as tomatoes,
Swiss chard and red peppers. From Chard Calzone to a zingy Tomato
Sorbet, Gennaro proves that these red gems can be the star
ingredients of extraordinary dishes. Sunshine Vegetables radiates
with the vibrant colours of yellow, cream and orange vegetables.
Gennaro showcases the natural sweetness and sunny disposition of
ingredients such as carrots, onions and pumpkins. These recipes
will bring warmth and joy to your plate, from comforting Pumpkin
Gnocchi to Carrot Souffle. Purple Vegetables uncovers the hidden
treasures lurking in the depths of our refrigerators. Aubergines,
purple radicchio and beetroots take center stage. Savour Beetroot
Capracchio and Raddchio Terrine over a picnic lunch on a summer’s
day, imagining you are on the Amalfi Coast. While not all recipes
are entirely plant-based, Gennaro ensures that every dish includes
the beauty and goodness of plants. With his signature Italian
touch, these innovative meals are designed to please not only
vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians, but also meat-eaters looking
to incorporate more vegetables into their diet. Gennaro's Verdura
is a testament to the incredible potential of vegetables, including
an in-depth profile of each. Whether you're seeking inspiration for
a meatless Monday or aiming to embrace a plant-based lifestyle,
Gennaro's recipes are sure to leave you satisfied, nourished, and
eager to experiment with the endless possibilities of vegetables.
