My Favorite Book of All Times!

I love this book. . . it is relaxing, funny and the recipes are so awesomely simple that even my son can do it. It's small so I take it with me when at an appointment hoping I have a to wait long enough to make my grocery list. Nothing strange in the ingredients either. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Tassajara Recipe Book

We are enjoying the recipes, and love the philosophy re using natural products, wasting as little as posible. Learned more about varioius grains, greens.

A simply wonderful vegetarian cookbbook

The Tassajara Recipe Book is a great cookbook for families moving to a vegetarian diet(like mine). The recipes are delicious, simple to follow and use common ingredients available at the grocery store. Edward Espe Brown's commentaries, descriptions and poems are thoughtful and full of humor.

Every Single Recipe in this Book is Terrific!

Every single recipe in this book is amazing-- they are all wonderfully balanced and do not call for hard-to-find ingredients. The collection features a good blend of exotic, gourmet, health, and American-traditional dishes (with a touch of flair, of course!) Check the index under sample pages for listings.Instructions are straight-forward and easy to follow, however there are no pictures or diagrams to help (but for most people, the written instructions will be sufficient.) The book helps you develop a sense of intuition with cooking, sometimes the techniques are open-ended.This is among the best and unique recipe books I have.
