When I first outlined this book, it didn’t occur to me that one of the best techniques for “cooking” vegetables is no cooking at all. I know, you’d think that with all the excitement about raw food these days (and the fact that I practically live off tomato salads in the summer), I would have thought of this sooner. But I was so focused on how to help you all learn to cook delicious vegetables that I didn’t really think of “no cooking” as a technique. Fortunately, I usually figure this stuff out sooner or later.
