Does anyone know this cookbook?

[GatoradeMeBitch]

I bought it from the Book People almost ten years ago and lost it at some point. It was a hardback vegetable cookbook, bright cover - featuring a tomato possibly, and it was split into chapters focusing on specific veg. There was an anecdote about Italian kids eating fennel bulbs as if they were apples. I can't find anything online that looks like it. Does it ring any bells?

I've got lots far too many of cookbooks but this isn't ringing any bells sorry. Will have a quick search on eat my books for you, just in case it jumps out.

Is it Jane Grigson's vegetable book?

It isn't her 'Vegetable Book', but actually her 'Vegetables' book is the closest thing I've found. It does have a section on fennel. I might pick that up anyway! Maybe I have the cover confused with something else, I thought there was a large picture of a halved tomato on the cover but google isn't throwing up anything.

I have messaged The Book People to see if they can help me. It was about a decade ago so they probably don't keep customer records for that long, but it's worth a shot!

That's it!!! I'm so pleased, thank you Blackjackcrossed!

Did you have it already or are you a super sleuth?
