To stock up on delicious vegetables, we happily dive into Catherine Madan’s book, from which our recipe comes. It restores stripes to plants that have long been relegated to simple companions (even for decoration). Celery and pear velouté, vegetable casserole, Swiss chard with Soissons beans, root gratin… You never get bored at the table. And of course, with all these recipes, we significantly exceed the recommended 5 fruits and vegetables per day. “Vegetable Madness!” by Catherine Madani, ed. La Martiniere, 150 pages. €19.90.
