A charming & refreshingly frank memoir from Deborah Madison—"The Queen of Greens" & America's leading culinary authority on vegetables—in which she gives us a deeply personal look at...vegetarian cooking & a manifesto for how to eat well.

From her childhood in Big Ag Northern California to working in the kitchen of the then-new Chez Panisse, and from the birth of food TV to the age of green markets everywhere, An Onion in My Pocket is as much the story of the evolution of American foodways as it is the memoir of the woman at the forefront.

It is a deeply personal look at the rise of vegetable-forward cooking, and a manifesto for how to eat well.

Deborah Madison is the award-winning author of fourteen cookbooks, including The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and Vegetable Literacy. Her books have received four James Beard Foundation Book Awards and five awards from the IACP...
