To stock up on delicious little vegetables, we’re happy to dive into Catherine Madani’s book, from which our recipe is taken. He restores the line to plants, long relegated to the rank of a simple accompaniment (even decor). Celery and pear velouté, heirloom vegetable casserole, Swiss chard with Soisson beans, root gratin… You won’t be bored at the table. And of course, with each of these recipes, we go well beyond the recommended 5 fruits and vegetables per day. “Vegetarian Madness!” Catherine Madani, ed. La Martiniere, 150 pages. 19.90 euros.
