Once the lonely, unattractive kin of sexier, more popular produce, root vegetables finally get the love and attention they deserve in this inventive and far-reaching vegan cookbook. Author Carla Kelly lets roots, tubers and rhizomes shine on their own in recipes that include lighter versions of traditional stews and soups as well as juices, salads and even desserts. The book includes a great collection of raw bites and sides, as well as information on the wide variety of root vegetables available.
