Williamson inspires home cooks to follow their imagination and build dishes from whatever vegetables or fruits capture their fancy in the moment. With over 100 fresh and unexpected recipes, arranged by the ingredient at the center, from mushrooms and tomatoes to peas and pods to starch and greens–accompanied by sixty enticing photos--she shows how to get the most out of items from the farmer's market or the produce aisle.
