Melissa's Great Book of Produce: Everything You Need to Know About Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
by Cathy Thomas, published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, £13.19
Melissa's Great Book of Produce has a grandiose name and is well deserved. Written by Cathy Thomas of the Orange County Register, it is rife with luscious but very representative photographs of each fruit or vegetable, ranging from asian pears to yu choy sum. Each entry has instructions on how to find a high quality, ripe instance of the fruit or vegetable, how to store it, prep, nutritional information, use, serving suggestions. Many include recipes. Having a decadently food-porn vibe and being totally useful, this is a very worthwhile purchase for any vegan, vegetarian, or, well, human being interested in high quality food. [GT]
