and this is how we fed ourselves

I didn't buy this book...rather, I "inherited" it when a flatmate moved out and left it behind. Being someone who doesn't eat much meat and loves to cook, I kept it, reading it at times to see if any of the recipes intrigued me.Well, I finally decided to go shopping and try this book out. I was floored and am delighted with it! Jeanne Lemlin's recipes are easy to follow, taste wonderful, and call for ingredients that require only minimal searching. Between the regular supermarket, natural foods store and Asian market I was able to get everything I needed.So far, I've tried the Soba Soup with Tofu (delicious!), the Curried Red Lentil Soup with Vegetables (I happily ate this for about three days), the Sourdough Pancakes (heavenly with or without syrup), and just tonight I made Baked Tofu, Schezuan Style, which came out beautifully even though I had to substitute regular peanut butter instead of natural style or tahini. I must also add that the pizza dough recipe on page 132 has changed my life in the kitchen forever. Wonderful recipe that works perfectly for thin crust *and* deep-dish style pizzas. *yum*This cookbook has gotten me to spend a little more time and thought on my meals, and has expanded my tastes a bit more in the process. Nothing too earth-shattering in the way of ingredients, but for someone who loves to cook and doesn't really know how...it is indispensable. I can't wait to buy the rest of her books!

Lemlin's are my favorite of many cookbooks

Everything I have made from either of the 2 Lemlin cookbooks I have has ranged from very good to excellent.

These recipes are all great.

All the dishes I have made have been great. This is the kind of vegetarian food I'm always in the mood for. The recipes are very quick and easy, and many of them have become my all-time favorites.

Very good vegetarian cookbook!

This is the 2nd best cookbook I own. The 1st is Lemlin's 1st book, "Quick Vegetarian Pleasures." The recipes are fun and don't require you to go to any specialty markets to find the ingrediants. Many of the recipes are quick and are so hi-lighted in the title. My only complaint is there are no pictures, but don't let this discourage you. This is a great book!
