Recipes from the Root Cellar

The Pickled Pantry

Mr. Wilkinson’s Vegetables

ANDREA CH E SM A N

ANDREA CHESMAN

MATT WI LKI NS ON

Sweet winter squashes, robust hardy greens, jewel-toned root vegetables, and potatoes of every variety are the staples that make eating locally so delicious and satisfying during the cold months of late autumn and winter.

With this collection of more than 250 recipes, veteran cookbook author and gardening enthusiast Andrea Chesman deliciously demonstrates how locavores in all parts of North America can eat local produce year-round.

The Pickled Pantry is a fresh, contemporary guide to pickling the abundance. The book provides a whopping 185 recipes for putting up everything from apples to zucchini. There are techniques for making fermented pickles, salsas, relishes, and chutneys; freezer and refrigerator options; and recipes that feature pickles front and center. There are instructions for single jars and small batches, as well as ways to preserve a bumper crop of produce.

This lush, creative cookbook celebrates the flavor and versatility of vegetables by bringing them to the center of the table in more than 80 delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes. Chef Matt Wilkinson builds his dishes around vegetables that are in season, when they taste the best, are most affordable, and most readily available. While many of these dishes will appeal to vegetarians, there are plenty that incorporate meat. In all of them, Mr. Wilkinson's vegetables are the stars.
