The Vegetable Butcher: How to Select, Prep, Slice, Dice, and Masterfully Cook Vegetables from Artichokes to Zucchini

When you need advice on how to select and cook a piece of meat, you go to your local butcher. But what happens when we budding chefs need a little help on the vegetable front? Enter Cara Mangini, the Vegetable Butcher. Cara is the executive chef and owner of Little Eater, a produce-inspired restaurant in Columbus Ohio and the author of the long-running column about vegetable butchery at The Kitchn website.

Marrying the art of butchery with the pleasures of seasonal produce, her new book The Vegetable Butcher offers fresh, inspiring and healthy recipes that also teach the art of preparing vegetables, whether it's to prep an artichoke, chiffonade kale, break down a butternut squash or prepare cauliflower steaks. With over 100 vegetarian recipes, The Vegetable Butcher celebrates the soul-satisfying flavor of our favorite veggies. As a mouth-watering treat just for this event, Cara will provide a live demonstration of her unique art, meaning all guests will get a tasty sample of her delicious work.
