Vegetables are the edible part of various plants, which can be either a fruit, a tuber, a stem, or leaves.
In cooking, it is customary to call vegetables even the fruits of those plants that in the terminology of botany are called nothing else than berries or fruits. Example: a cucumber is a vegetable in cooking, and a berry in botany. Another example: a tomato is a vegetable in cooking, and a fruit in botany.
Vegetables are divided into categories that have the following form:
Vegetables are root vegetables, such as: carrots, turnips, horseradish, radishes, celery.

Vegetables are part of almost all dishes of any national cuisine. The exceptions are, perhaps, desserts and pastries. Vegetable dishes always contain a large amount of vitamins and trace elements. Dishes with vegetables are good for health and are recommended for people on diets. Also, dishes with vegetables are indispensable during religious fasts. In addition, it is much easier to prepare a vegetable dish than a meat one, because cooking vegetables does not take much time.
Many vegetables are usually subjected to heat treatment before use. However, some vegetables are also eaten raw. For example, carrots, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers. Frozen vegetables retain most of the nutrients, including vitamins. Frozen vegetables are good because they can appear on our tables, even when it is “not the season” for them in nature.

Today my mom ordered something light for dinner, without meat (and even without poultry!). Such a wonderful version of stew caught my eye, and I decided to implement it. This dish was liked by three generations of my family: my parents, me and my son. It must mean something. A dish with an oriental flavor. I was afraid to put spices and pepper according to the recipe (quantity), but in vain. Do not hesitate to post as much as it is written! Next – adjust to taste. Or maybe my pepper was “weak”? ))) Try this!
A very healthy, bright and delicious dish is what is missing in the autumn gray days! And as a bonus – it is quickly and simply prepared, you can choose the filling to your taste endlessly!

An unusual way to serve your favorite vegetables. A variation on the theme of fried cabbage in batter, only baked. Potatoes with sauce will also “play” in a new way. Use any additional vegetables. The author is cherry, I took carrots and paprika. Thanks to Maria from Germany for the recipe! You can cook in portions.
Shepherd’s pie in an “edible pot” with potatoes can make a splash in your home. This is an unusual potato baked twice: under a ruddy layer of mashed potatoes there is a hearty filling of beef and vegetables. And instead of casserole – potato “pots”, which are also edible.
I offer you a recipe for stewed vegetables with semolina and a bouquet of spices. The dish turns out to be hearty, fragrant, bright and begs for the name “all the colors of autumn”. It can be consumed as an independent dish in the post, it can be served with meat. Vegetables turn out a little crispy, the main thing in this dish is not to overdo them. It is prepared very quickly.
Potato dishes are always very popular. This is a wonderful side dish or even an independent dish. Baked potatoes with cheese and sour cream. You can cook in one large form or in batch molds. Very fast and easy!
Potato tortillas made from whole grain flour. You can just take wheat flour and they will be white. As a filling, I use frozen white mushrooms. You can take any mushrooms, including: champignons, oyster mushrooms, honey mushrooms, which are now sold in stores all year round. Easy to prepare, very fragrant and of course -delicious!
