Customer Reviews

Great Cookbook!

I'm a vegetarian and not only is my family mixed, but my boyfriend is practically carnivorous. When I got my book I decided to cook something that weekend. I picked the stuffed chicken breast/stuffed portobello mushrooms. Despite the fact that I had to touch chicken, that night was definitely a success. I can't wait to go through the other recipes from the book. It's fantastically written and easy to follow.

A Great Concept

The book has terrific recipes and is chronicled with great photos. I purchased "The Adaptable Feast" as a gift for my wife and she was very pleased. The idea of recipes that can be executed for vegitarians and easily modified for carnivores is clever, and handy.

Yummy!

The Adaptable Feast is a unique and smart idea for a cookbook. You certainly don't need have a vegetarian in the house -- I'm not -- to appreciate the tasty selections in this book. The photography alone is enough to crank up your appetite! So far my favorite recipe is the "Gooey Macaroni and Cheese with Ham and Tomatoes." I'm a mac-n-cheese snob and this is by far the best I've come across (sorry mom!) In fact, I've made it three times already. Don't hesitate to add this book to your kitchen collection. You are likely to find recipes you'll want to make again and again.

Adaptable, and Awesome!

Looking for fresh, modern, health-conscious recipes? Ivy Manning pulls together the concepts tidily in this beautifully rendered cookbook. The recipes are tasty and highly adaptable, and really show the author's understanding of the kind of kitchen challenges we all face (what DO you do with a big bunch of greens from the Farmer's Market that you bought on impulse?) Ivy's style and humor shine through, and the whole sum is a lovely easy to read cookbook that provides simple, tasty recipes that will keep them coming back for more. Highly recommended to all 'vores (omni, carni and herbi!)
