The Vegetable Butcher Book Giveaway!

The Vegetable Butcher - white

“The Vegetable Butcher is a butchery bible and vegetable boot camp all in one. If you ever wanted to know how to slaughter a squash or eviscerate an eggplant, here's where you start.”
— Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of Dirt Candy

To say we are excited about The Vegetable Butcher, a new book by chef Cara Mangini, would be a gross understatement. We receive so many questions from our members about the proper way to handle, prep and clean fruits and vegetables, that this book is becoming our go-to directory for tackling the tough produce prep questions. There are step-by-step, color photographs on how to chiffonade kale, break down winter squash, cut cauliflower into steaks and so much more.
