One of my top 4 favorite Cookbooks

This cookbook is awesome! Lots of Mediterranean & Indian recipes. For instance, many traditional pasta and gnocci recipes, as well as great recipes for baked goods and desserts. And don't forget the yummy soups & salads. Best recipe I've found so far -- Lemon & Parmesan Capellini -- This is SO EASY, you'll make it all the time! And the sauce makes a nice substitute for Hollandaise on eggs or broccoli or asparagus! =) Also: this book walked me through my very first handmade loaf of bread (my bread machine went bye-bye). It was the -- Olive & Oregano Bread -- and it came out like it was from a bakery!! People kept asking, "You MADE this?!" If I can do it, you can too! Buy this, you'll find great easy recipes, you'll learn something new, and best of all, you'll eat well!! Happy Eating!!

Yum, yum, yum!

A treasure-trove of tasty treats, this book is wonderful. The ingredients for each recipe are simple and easy to find, and the directions are clear and concise. I'm usually disappointed with vegetarian dishes because of their blandness, but all the recipes that I've tried from this book have been very flavourful--Mmmmmmm!

A Non-Vegetarian Loves It!

I am not a vegetarian-in fact, I am not even an avid vegetable eater. I saw this book at my son's home and was served a risotto recipe from this volume. It was wonderful! I read the book-it was wonderful!--many recipes I want to try. They are innovative, creative and appealing to a cookbook collector and an ardent cook! I am anxious to start cooking from it.

Buy This Book

I've been a vegetarian for 27 years. During that time I've looked at a lot of cookbooks. This book has the very best directions for making wonderful breads and pastries, many are vegan. There are great receipes for pastas that you can make at home without machinery. The cookbook is beautiful. There is a lot of variety. It's a great book and I highly recommend it. It's one of the very best I've ever seen. My thanks to the editor and the writers and the photographers. Flora SAlyers Reia Snoddy

Excellent for beginning cooks and new vegetarians!

I've been a vegetarian all my life, but I'm just now learning how to really cook. This book has a wonderful mixture of classics and interesting new things. The recipes are simple, and inclue down-to-earth ingredients that can be found at almost any suburban grocery store. Possibly the BEST part about this book are the pictures... Every recipe is illustrated with photographs of each step! For anyone who is learning how to cook and needs a little help with techniques, or is looking for delicious, edible vegetarian food - This is your new cookbook.
