Greene on Greens is a great vegetable cookbook. As an 80s cookbook, it is heavy on rich recipes: lots of cream and butter and cheese. But, it is also chock-a-block full of interesting and vibrant recipes as well.

Roots in escabeche is a refreshing dish: turnips, carrots and rutabegas are boiled until tender, then tossed with a vinagrette, sliced onions and chopped olives.
