Abra Berens, Author of Ruffage Book

Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables is not your typical cookbook–it is a how-to-cook book of a variety of vegetables. Author Abra Berens–chef, farmer, Midwesterner–shares a collection of techniques that result in new flavors, textures, and ways to enjoy all the vegetables you want to eat. From confit to caramelized and everything in between–braised, blistered, roasted and raw–the cooking methods covered here make this cookbook a go-to reference. Spanning 29 types of vegetables–from asparagus to zucchini–each chapter opens with an homage to the ingredients and variations on how to prepare them. Vegetable-forward is the way we eat now, and Ruffage is the cookbook that promises to truly change the way we approach vegetables.

Ruffage is destined to become your practical guide on how to select, store, and prepare a year’s worth of vegetables, and Abra Berens will be here to show you why! Join Abra for a conversation about celebrating produce and centering vegetables in your meals. Please note the author will sign copies of the book purchased at Book Larder.
