Gennaro¿s Verdure

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 veg lacks in texture and flavour. From Beetroot Capracchio to Pea Souffle, Asparagus Carbonara, Tomato Sorbet and Spinach ¿plumcake¿; Gennaro maximises the star-quality potential of unassuming veggies that sit at the bottom of our fridge.Not all recipes are entirely plant-based, but all include plants. These are innovative meals with an Italian touch; uncompromising in flavour and more than sufficient for hungry flexitarians, vegetarians, vegans and meat-eaters alike.
