Seasonal Feasts!

This book is filled with delicious, easy to prepare healthy meals. I am not a vegetarian, but do have a few vegetarian cookbooks. My other books contain recipes with hard-to-find ingredients, which makes it difficult to try something new! This book, unlike those, had ingredients available at my local grocery store, fast, flavorful meals and in an easy to read format. This book is also divided into seasons, which I find to be VERY nice. Once, I had gone to an herbalist in Chinese medicine, and the doctor there told me that I was eating the wrong foods. I was confused, as I was eating salads! How unhealthy is that? She explained, because it was winter, I should have been eating warming foods; foods that are harvested in the wintertime, such as oranges, soups etc. I was really quite surprised, yet it made sense. Later, I took an herbal healing class. In that class, the instructor stated that in a region where there is poison oak, for example, there is another herb capable of healing a poison oak reaction. I thought about that for a while, and fused these two ideas of thinking. We are provided with foods that are nourishing to us in the appropriate season to where we live. That does not mean you can never eat pineapples in the north, but that you should take advantage of the bounty available to you while it is in season. Karri Allrich presents this book in an effortless fashion, with little excerpts to go with each recipe, as well as sample menus for appropriate Pagan holidays. Her recipes are flavorful, and quick and easy to make. I look forward to her future cookbook, "Cooking by Moonlight, 13 Menus for 13 Moons" due out in 2002. Examples of her recipes include: Bruschetta, Huevos Rancheros, Bear Dreamer's Walnut Biscotti, Spicy Hummus, Roasted Winter Vegetables and May Wine.I would highly recommend this book for your kitchen!

Vegetarian cookbook with a dash of Goddess lore

I love this book! It is divided into 4 sections, following the seasons, and gives recipes for the 8 Wiccan Sabbats. Each section begins with a bit of Goddess lore. There is a magic to the book that anyone can appreciate - whether you love the Goddess, food, or both!I like the recipes because they are mostly vegetable, bean, and pasta based. There is some dairy - mostly for the desserts - and a little tofu. The ingredients can be found at any local supermarket and no special kitchen equipment is required.Do yourself a flavor and buy this book!!!

Recipes to please any Goddess and her family

After preparing the Tortellini with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Feta on page 23 of the Everyday Feasts section of "RECIPES FROM A VEGETARIAN GODDESS", I knew this cook book was going to be a winner. The dish's easy preparation with delectable results inspired me to turn to the variety of other unusual entrees, plus the offerings of soups, salads, and deserts all with enticing flavors and Goddess inspired combinations. Especially helpful is the Vegetarian Goddess' Pantry that appears at the beginning of the book, which lists "must have on hand items" to make the menu planning and preparation of these innovative recipes with ease. You will delight in all this book has to offer, from the visually stunning cover painted by the artist/author KARRI ALLRICH, to reading her beginning comments before each recipe, to the many splendid offerings you can easily prepare and enjoy. You will turn to this book time and time again for healthy and delicious meal planning. This would be a beautiful gift for a loved one, too, whether they are vegetarian or not...the recipes are for all to discover and savor. The book is now first in line in my row of cook books and I look forward to trying every one of these dishes through the seasons.

Fun, Playful, with Cook-able Recipes

Have you ever been annoyed with recipes that contain bizarre and exotic ingredients? Have you been irritated by directions that are too complicated for your average Kathy? For someone who has been looking for a cookbook she can actually use, this most enchanting collection of recipes has been a Goddess-send. All are easy to make (with ingredients that are found in the supermarket), and all of them (so far)work! The concoctions I've tried are tasty, healthy, and satisfying; they are so good, in fact, I may soon throw my first dinner party! The clever and informative tid-bits make the text fun to read. I just adore this book.

A Cook's Delight

Karri's cookbook is a wealth of flavorful and easy-to-fix recipes. I've tried a number of them already and find each one to be delicous. These recipes are full of ingredients we all generally have on hand as well as being recipes that are fairly fast to put together. This cookbook is a treat for anyone with a busy schedule who loves to cook and wants to present the family with a delicious, flavor-filled, and nutritious meal. The coments under each recipe title are great "food for thought."
