| extremely informative plus tasty recipes! | |
| i recently bought this book after reading the 30 plus reviews about it on this page. i knew that there would be no nutritional info, and the layout would be weird. so, i was fully prepared not to buy it. instead i fell in love with it. i think someone called it the vegetarian joy of cooking and i have to agree. it gives basic information like how to use a knife, etc., then onto appetizers, soups, salads... she also includes recipes for tofu and tempeh and tips on how to use marinades for both. some of the recipes are basic, but many have tantalizing flavor combinations that i find unique and refreshing. what i really like about this cookbook is that the ingredients are easy to find in a good supermarket or natural foods store, or better yet, farmer s market. this cookbook can't be THE cookbook for everyone, but it certainly is for me. | |
| The BEST vegetarian cook book I own | |
| Whoa this is a BIG book of over 700 pages and the best vegetarian cookbook I own. The author not only discusses what a good cook is but is on par with Julia Child and James Beard when it comes to recipes for all occasions. And I mean all occasions. Many are kosher as well as ethnic and my men find the dishes filling, delicious as well as nice to look at. We also found her sandwiches section interesting since this seems to be an area most frustrating for new and even some old time vegetarians and vegans alike. Her salads for all seasons is wonderful, as are her vegetable stews and soup section. Beans plain and fancy is a favorite since we love beans both for the health aspect and because there is such a variety of beans and they can make inexpensive or exotic dishes. On page 327 the author begins a massive section on vegetables and how to prepare as well as buy them. The roasted-braised vegetables recipes are out of this world. And as she notes there is a plethora of vegetables to choose from. In fact the price of the book was worth this section alone. And I am someone who craves roasted garlic almost daily. And the tossed spinach lasagna and goat cheese gratin on page 465 is as awesome as the photo of it in the book. And the dessert section with the compotes is delicious. | |
