Ruffage tackles the questions that home cooks (of any skill level) ask themselves about vegetables: how do I cook this? How do I make this exciting? Do I store this in the fridge? How do I make this into dinner? with new strategies from an exciting new author/chef/farmer in the Midwest.

This accessible-but-comprehensive vegetable-focused cookbook picks up where Vegetable Literacy left off, focusing on the simple techniques and information that help any cook prepare a variety of delicious vegetables in a number of ways. Variations, guidance, POV, and smart, unique recipes set Ruffage apart from other vegetable-focused cookbooks: the first-hand guidance from a Chicago and Michigan-based cook and farmer on what to look for in the market, how to store the vegetables, and then the recipes for how to “prepare and accessorise” each vegetable to create a myriad of dishes.
