Alright, but not the best

It is a decent cookbook, but there are not a lot of pictures (I am a very visual person) and I did not like some of the recipes (I admit I haven't tried most) Some of the recipes I have tried are decent, but not considered personal staples.

you get a lot of recipes for your money

...not "exotic" recipes that some books intend to showcase, but rather one step above ordinary, everyday food -- a weeknight dinner done just a bit better than you might expect. I just looked through the book and found myself thinking that there are many recipes that call for common ingredients that I might already have (and for which I could easily use leftovers in other dishes). There are not a lot of photos -- perhaps 8 or 12 -- but I'd rather pay the reasonable price that this book sells for than pay more for a book with a lot of photos. This is the sort of cookbook that I would not just peruse and think it might be nice to make this or that someday, but rather a practical sort of cookbook from which I will likely choose tomorrow's dinner.

Good for beginner vegetarians

This is a great book for people who are wanting to go vegetarian, but are unsure on how. The beginning starts off going through each of the major systems of the body and how eating healthy helps your body function best. It also goes through all fruits, vegetables, and grains and tells you what is good about each one and what to be cautious of with serving size. These are the important things people who want to be healthy should know whether you are a vegetarian or not. The remainder of the book is filled with recipes. No pictures of recipes.
