Shipping calculated at checkout
Pierce Abernathy approaches vegetables with the enthusiasm of a cook who sees possibility everywhere. The Brooklyn-based recipe developer has built a following for food that’s inventive without being fussy, combining excellent produce with bold flavors and an instinct for making vegetables feel generous and not dutiful.
Every Leaf, Every Stem shares more than 90 plant-based recipes, organized around the seasons and the rhythms of the market. Summer, appropriately, gets the most attention, while an Evergreen chapter turns to vegetables and pantry ingredients available throughout the year.
Abernathy’s combinations are playful and purposeful. Panzanella with peaches and fried basil. Tomato toast with corn butter. Caramelized zucchini and lemon pasta. Thai-style cauliflower salad. squash soup with kimchi and nori croutons.
Dips and salads figure prominently, alongside more substantial dishes and desserts like rhubarb and fennel upside-down cake. There is practical guidance, too, on choosing and storing produce and making use of vegetables that have lingered a little too long in the refrigerator.
