Williams-Sonoma Collection: Vegetable

I really like this book. My #1 suggestion is to try the Grilled Corn with Chile-Lime Butter! It absolutely is the BEST corn on the cob you will ever eat. My husband doesn't even order corn when we go out because he says it doesn't compare to what I make at home.

LOTS OF NICE LOOKING, SOUNDING AND TASTING RECIPES IN THIS BOOK. ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T TRIED THEM ALL, THEY ALL AT LEAST 'LOOK' AND 'SOUND' GOOD. FOR THE ONES I HAVE TRIED, THEY'RE SIMPLE TO MAKE AND THE RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS (AS ALWAYS) ARE LAID OUT VERY NICELY IN MY OPINION.

This book is easy to follow and has gorgeous pictures, so if you want one for beginners or for browsing pleasures this is it. In terms of recipes the book focuses mostly on side dishes, with the French or Italian-inspired dishes appearing to be the strongest. The Asian-inspired dishes seemed to be rather standard, though that may be because I am much pickier about the latter. The risotto recipes are very good, and most of the side dishes are pretty decent. So I would definitely get this book for quick side dish ideas that still has flavor but won't overtake the main dishes.
