Steps:
- Combine shallots, olive oil, and dried oregano in a small saucepan, and place over medium-low heat. Let cook until shallots are translucent and very soft, about 20 minutes. if oil starts to sputter or brown, reduce heat.
- Meanwhile, cut vegetables, and set each aside in its own, separate bowl: Cut cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets. Trim stems from mushrooms, and cut them in half. Slice each celery stalk and carrot into 3-inch-long, thin sticks. Slice larger radishes in half.
- Season each bowl of vegetables with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add lemon juice to shallots and warm oil; stir to combine. Pour just less than 1/6 of the mixture over each bowl of prepared vegetables, keeping in mind that the mushrooms will absorb the dressing and require a little more than the other vegetables. Toss each bowl of vegetables; let stand for between 1 and 4 hours. Arrange vegetables on platter, and serve.

Steps:
- In a 3- or 4-quart saucepan combine vinegar, wine, olive oil, garlic cloves, shallot, bouquet garni, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, kosher salt and 3 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 15 to 30 minutes while you prepare vegetables.
- Add carrots to the broth and simmer 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, bring back to a simmer, and cook another 15 minutes, until carrots and cauliflower are tender but not mushy. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables to a bowl. Some of the broth and seeds can come along with them.
- Add mushrooms to broth and simmer 5 minutes. Remove to bowl with carrots and cauliflower.
- Stir broth and ladle 11/2 cups plus some of the coriander seeds into a small saucepan. Set aside.
- Add artichoke hearts to the pot in which you cooked the other vegetables and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Transfer to bowl with other cooked vegetables. If using artichoke leaves, steam them now. When finished, discard this broth.
- Bring reserved broth in the small saucepan to a boil and cook until liquid reduces to 1/2 cup. Pour over the vegetables, add lemon juice and fleur de sel and toss. Taste and adjust seasoning. Leave at room temperature until ready to serve (for best flavor, let vegetables marinate for a few hours), or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Just before serving, garnish with herbs and, if you wish, with steamed artichoke leaves, which can be dipped into the marinade. Serve on small plates with the reduced marinade spooned on top.
VEGETABLES à LA GRECQUE
I wrote that I found these perfect - the ur-preserves - and then tasted them again. And I can only affirm it as a truth. They are richer than plain vinegar pickles, which lets them be their own hors d'oeuvre, in a small chilled bowl, with olives perhaps alongside. They are deeper tasting and more eloquent than crudité. They are piquant enough to awaken the appetite without sating it. I love them, and they are very simple to make.

Steps:
- In a pot, bring the liquids, spices and herbs to just below a boil.
- Cook each vegetable, separated by type, in the seasoned liquid. Start with the onion, then fennel, then cauliflower or mushrooms, then celery. Cook each until it can be pierced with a knife and tastes delicious. As each batch is done, scoop it out with a slotted spoon or a hand-held sieve. Place on a cookie sheet to cool.
- If spices or bits of herb stick to the vegetables, put what you can back in the pot and don't worry about the rest - everything will marinate together, so things will redistribute. When all the vegetables are cooked, layer them in a 1-quart Mason jar - it looks nice if you do mushrooms, then onions and so on. Pour all of the cooking liquid over them, without straining. The olive oil in the liquid will rise to the top and create a seal.
- Serve alone as an hors d'oeuvre, or as part of a salad, or on little buttered toasts. Or in an omelet. Or in a sandwich. Anywhere, really, but in a strawberry tart. Refrigerate for up to a month.

Steps:
- Slice tomatoes lengthwise into quarters, through the stem. Place in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.

- Start by boiling 2 medium pots of water. Add the mini potatoes one pot, and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until tender (when they're done they'll float). In the other pot, add the eggs, cooking for 8-10 minutes.
- In the meantime, start slicing and arranging the veggies on a large platter. This is the fun part! I like to make rows, or arrangements around the dressing.
- Prepare an ice bath for the eggs by adding cold water and ice to a bowl; add the cooked eggs to the ice bath to cool. Once the potatoes are cooked, strain them over a colander and allow to cool.
- Trim the green beans and add to a pot of boiling water to blanch, cooking for about 3 minutes (you'll know when the beans are cooked because they'll turn bright green).
