现在，越来越多的家庭将目光投向本地和有机的饮食，所以这本令人愉快的菜谱介绍了常见的蔬菜，用非常精美的插图和引人入胜的信息为读者们献上色香味俱全的素菜。本书介绍了每种蔬菜如何出现在其自然土壤的栖息地，以及今天可能的食用方法。健康益处、历史趣闻和植物奇闻被无缝地交织在每一张对页中。

As more and more families focus on local and organic eating, this delightful introduction to common vegetables offers a delectable serving of uncommonly beautiful illustrations and fascinating information. As in his hugely popular previous book, Flower Power, Olaf Hajek's wondrously imaginative and detailed portraits are paired with engaging and eye-

opening texts. The book shows how each vegetable appears in its natural soil habitat, and how it might be eaten today. Health benefits, historical tidbits, and botanical oddities are seamlessly woven into each spread. From the first spring onion, to pumpkins harvested just before the frost, this inviting journey through the growing season celebrates the artistic, historical, and culinary bounty that awaits us in the garden and at the table.
