Carpenter and Sandison's HOT cookbook series is, well, hot—there's just no other word for it. And with 190,000 copies of their books in print, it's clear that America can't get enough of their winning formula: beautiful photographs, simple step-by-step recipes that provide dazzling results, inspiration from around the globe, and, of course, hot, hot flavor combinations. Whether it's a lovely, colorful Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Tart, an unusual Thai-Inspired Eggplant Ratatouille, or the velvety Leek Timbale Towers, the can't-miss recipes in this book draw on the world's hottest flavors: Accents from Asia, the Mediterranean, the American South, and South America create a uniquely exciting fusion cuisine. Organized alphabetically, from artichokes to zucchini, these 60-plus palate-tingling appetizers, soups, salads, sides, and entrees reintroduce us to master teacher and chef Hugh Carpenter's stunning talent for delightful dishes, highlighted by Teri Sandison's beautiful color photography.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Hot Vegetables is the fifth in a series by husband- and-wife team Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison. As in Hot Wok and Hot Chicken, Carpenter provides the intensely flavored dishes and Sandison the eye-filling photography. Tableware made by local Northern California artisans reinforces the informal but carefully composed look of this book. The information Carpenter crams into this book, along with 50 recipes, demonstrates why he is one of the most popular cooking teachers in the U.S. At the start, he gives "mini-lessons" on grilling, stir-frying, deep-frying, and other methods for perfecting cooked vegetables.
Asian and fusion cooking are Carpenter's specialties, so his Thai Eggplant Ratatouille made with coconut milk and Carrot Risotto Sparked with Asian Chile Oil are tried and tested delights. Other flavor- enhancing cooking techniques he perfects are stir-frying, sautéing, and deep-frying. Some dishes are quite involved--such as the Pot Sticker Dumplings Stuffed with Spinach and Mushrooms. Others require a minimum of effort, like a Creamy Lemon Garlic salad dressing or Carpenter's imaginative Orange Wok Sauce.
Hot Vegetables ensures that eating the recommended five to nine servings of fresh vegetables and fruits each day is a joy for your taste buds. --Dana Jacobi

I have personally taken about 6 cooking classes with Hugh Carpenter. All his books contain wonderful and different recipes. He marries various types of foods to one another. If you enjoy cooking, enjoy asian food- buy his books!!

Fancy Vegetables,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hot Vegetables (Hot Books) (Paperback)
This book shows you how to create elegant vegetable dishes. It focuses on both main, side and salad dishes. Most items are time consuming to make but the book does offer advance preparation and final steps for each recipe. About 1/3 of the recipes have pictures. This is not a book for quick and easy vegetable recipes but a book for those who want to go beyond the basics.

WOW! This is such a great book. The fusion of east meets west is amazing. I love it and would buy any of the "Hot" recipe series based on this book.
