To stock up on delicious little greens, we happily dive into Catherine Madani’s book, from which our recipe is derived. It restores the line of plants, long relegated to the rank of mere accompaniment (even decoration). Celery and pear velouté, heirloom vegetable casserole, Swiss chard with Soisson beans, roasted root… You won’t be bored at the table. And, of course, with each of these recipes, we will significantly exceed the 5 fruits and vegetables that are recommended for us per day. “Vegetarian Madness!”, by Catherine Madani, ed. of La Martiniere, 150 p. 19.90 euros.
