Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables by Joshua McFadden

A modern classic for cooking with vegetables all year long Winner of the James Beard Award for Best Book in Vegetable-Focused Cooking, Six Seasons is a game-changing vegetable cookbook from chef Joshua McFadden. With deep roots in both farm life and fine dining, McFadden brings a fresh, intuitive approach to seasonal produce—treating vegetables not just as sides, but as the main event. Organized by the natural rhythm of the growing season—spring, early summer, midsummer, late summer, fall, and winter—each chapter begins with raw preparations before moving into deeper, richer cooking techniques. With 225 recipes that balance creativity and simplicity, McFadden shows how to coax bold, umami-rich flavor from even the most humble produce. Whether you're working with peak-season tomatoes or a forgotten cabbage in the fridge, Six Seasons teaches you how to transform vegetables with the right touch of heat, acid, fat, and spice.
