Julie Biuso — Fresh

New Holland 2000 Paperback, 143pp. Award-winning food writer Julie Biuso once again presents an enticing collection of recipes that will have us all eager to get in the kitchen and start cooking. This time the emphasis is on the sensual taste of fresh, seasonal vegetables - dishes with names that beg to be cooked and enjoyed with friends, family or just for one. There's a mix of European and Asian - some unusual, some classic - some with spice, others with crunch. What is practically guaranteed is that you'll want to make them again and again.The food photography is luscious - close up, not concerned with fancy plates and platters, but with the actual food, and will have you salivating before you've even fired up the gas. Most importantly, recipes and photographs alike exude a 'you can do this' invitation that will be enormously attractive to new readers as well as established Biuso fans. Large. Dedication to owners by author. (ISBN: 187724645X). Good.
