I have been reading about greens lately. Although I spent a summer as a vegetarian I am still not that adventurous with leafy greens, at least nothing beyond lettuce, spinach and kale. Nava Atlas is not like me. In her book, Wild About Greens, Atlas proves just how passionate she is about these verdant vegetables. Before jumping into the recipes, she offers up a primer discussing the different type of greens. This is helpful if you find yourself in the produce isle (on a mission to eat healthier), and you have a bunch of beet greens or dandelion greens in your hand and have no clue how to prepare them without feeling like a rabbit.
When you get past the primer and your interest in trying mustard greens is piqued than Atlas provides you with a multitude of ways to prepare your greens. Whether in a salad, steamed, braised, in a soup or mixed with grains, with 125 recipes you are sure to find a new way of cooking greens to add to your repertoire of recipes.
