Eggplant Recipes and Cooking Tips

Thanks to Asian and Southern European influences, eggplant is finding its way into more and more recipes. As a good meat substitute, it is attractive to vegetarians and cost-conscious cooks. Eggplant actually has a quite bland flavor, but it soaks up flavors of accompanying foods, herbs, and spices like a sponge. Try Frank Sinatra's Eggplant Parmigiana, Poor Man's Caviar, or one of the many other eggplant recipes.
