Long live endive! Three recipes for loving bitters

Thirty-three families of vegetables, 203 varieties, available in 230 recipes that can be prepared in less than twenty minutes (promise, sworn, we tested!): more than a cookbook, Legumaniac (Editions La Martinière, 2022) is an encyclopedia to have in your library. After the carrot, we continue the vegetable adventure with the endive, another winter star. Sylvia Gabet, the author, teaches us to recognize the different varieties, from the red endive to Treviso, passing through the rose of Mantua or the simple white endive, better known. And reminds us that with 15 calories per 100 grams, endive is ultra-light, rich in vitamins C, B9 and antioxidants. So what are we waiting for?
