Linda Mccartney On Tour

Rating:
Summary: Excellent cookbook to own!
Review: I am a vegan, and finding anything delicious that doesn't include some form of tofu is sometimes hard. This cookbook includes many ethnic, vegan recipes and photos to go with them. Instructions are easy, even my 9-year-old daughter helps with the preparation. We made the Chinese aromatic vegetable stir-fry last night, and it was marvelous. Even my mom, who is not veggie, thought it looked and smelled delicious. The world has lost a wonderful talent in Linda.

Summary: Excellent tasty and unique veggie cuisine
Review: I received this book as a gift and after looking through it, I was excited to try the recipes. There is a great selection of different recipes from all around the world. What makes this book special is that the recipes include the traditional Italian and Chinese cuisine, but Linda goes beyond the traditional to include Indian, African and Thai cuisines. I truly enjoy the hot and sour soup, for example. The photographs are brilliant in color and are vivid enough to make your stomach growl by just looking at them. Linda uses olive oil generously. Although there is not a nutritional analysis, it is easy to adapt the recipes to a healthy diet, which I do with great success. I truly enjoy this book.

Summary: More interesting than most vegetarian cookbooks
Review: I'm not a vegetarian, but did find some good recipes in this book. For once, a cookbook isn't dessert heavy. There is a good mixture of main meals, side dishes, and sandwiches, as well as sauces. An introductory section gives suggestions for stocking a vegetarian pantry. There's also a brief overview of nutritional needs. Since these recipes are from around the world, the variety is refreshing and different. My only caveat is that I expected more recipes for the price. The books has about 200 for the price of [$]. I don't know if we're paying for the glossy paper, the beautiful colored pictures, or Linda's name.

Summary: A great addition to any cookbook collection
Review: Linda's recipes are unique in that they are obviously tested and tested again. I am not a great cook (average to good maybe) and I have had many failures in the kitchen by following poor recipes... having cooked a good many of Linda's recipes I haven't had one failure. This food is great!!! Flavorful, easy to make recipes take the anxiety out of preparing a great meal. Also, I recommend this for meat eaters, not just vegetarians, you'll be pleasently surprised. This book (as well as her others) has taught me so many new cooking techniques and educated me on the use of vegetables and everyday herbs and spices. It's too bad she isn't around to do more. I miss her for her cookbooks alone.

Summary: Wide range of cultures, so-so ingredients
Review: Overall, this is a great starter book for someone being introduced to vegetarianism, since many of the dishes are just vegetarian versions of wellknown meaty dishes. However, Ms. McCartney relies a little too heavily on meat substitutes in her recipes. For example, she uses vegetarian sausages and vegetarian ground "meat" in many of the recipes. I would recommend finding a book that relies on the wonderful flavors of fresh vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, and grains, rather than on a fake processed product.

Summary: "David" And Linda On Tour
Review: This is a great book full of recipes and photos of wonderful,yummy food. Forget the big "V" word, it is great food,period. But this is MY first experience with it. I saw it in a local bookstore yesterday. At first glance I see "Linda MacCartney-On Tour" and the cover photo. I think, "Linda MacCartney-rock photos,and there's David Bowie on the cover". I pick it up. Guess who "David Bowie" REALLY was. My God,what a tradgic and unfair end. Just past fifty. What will Paul do without her?

Summary: Beautiful
Review: Through all she was going through, Linda managed to pull off another great cookbook. This book has a variety of delicious dishes from all around the world and contains everything a vegetarian cookbook should; from vegetarian questions and answers to holiday menus. It's a must have.
