Summary: TRUE Vegetarian? Either you are or you aren't.
Review: After years of respecting Gary Null and what he has stood for, I bought this book because my family and I are vegetarians and are always on the lookout for new ideas for recipes. It did state in the promo that there were some optional recipes containing fish but being resourceful about cooking, I thought it would be a valuable book for me. When I received the book I was very surprised and disturbed to see that in a large number of the recipes fish was not just optional. The recipes were FISH RECIPES. And there are quite a large number of them. We are vegetarians for several reasons-moral, ethical and health. We are all animal rights people and feel that all living beings have a right to life in their natural habitats. We do not eat flesh and have a reverence for all life. Having said that, we respect other people and their viewpoints. If one chooses to eat flesh, we can't change the whole world overnight, but it is a much better way to live to be a vegan vegetarian. The most salient point is that if Gary Null is going to call his book a vegetarian cookbook, it shoudn't contain fish recipes. Contrary to what some people may believe, fish is not a vegetable! That isn't honest. Thanks, Carol Bayard Bayardtom@AOL.com

Summary: A First Book
Review: At the time I bought this book I knew vegans did not eat meat. I wanted to know how to approriately balance my diet to be effective. This book did not answer this question, but it did have many delicious recipes that I still use. The Eggplant Parmigana is a family favorite. I'd buy the book again just for that recipe.

His recipes from international countries are sure to please every nationality as well as give us the opportunity to sample dishes from other heritages. The recipes are simple to follow, are nutritionally based, healthy to eat and best of all, taste wonderful. From having an appetitzer to a desert, you can plan a menu that will delight your family and guess.

Summary: A Great VEGETARIAN BOOK
Review: I think this book provided variety of recipies for Vegetarians. There were a couple of reviews here from who I can only suppose as "Strict Vegetarians" who didnt seem to understand that fish is not meat! Please do not be fooled by their limited knowledge. In addition, this book also provided recepies based on different ethnicity so one can try a taste of different culture.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This is a great book for people who enjoy ethnic foods and are looking to cut meat and dairy out of their diet. There are a lot of fish recipes which I find really refreshing. It's very difficult to find a vegetarian cookbook that is not full of recipes containing dairy. Just as it is impossible to find a vegan cookbook that contains fish recipes. So if you are like me and don't fit neatly into the vegetarian or vegan catagory, you will find this cookbook to be a wonderful addition to your library! Happy eating.

Summary: Horrible, truly horrible!
Review: This is NOT a vegetarian cookbook! I picked this up from the vegetarian section as a competitor's bookstore, and was deeply disturbed that both its placement and title were misleading. It is FULL of fish recipes. Where do fish grow--on fish trees? Don't buy this book if you are looking for a good vegetarian cookbook--there's plenty others out there for true vegetarians. Shame on Gary Null--this book smells fishy!!

Summary: Horrible, truly horrible!
Review: Vegetarians do not eat fish!How dare Gary Null, someone who should know the difference, make a vegetarian cookbook that includes fish. Disgusting. I wouldn't buy this book if every other cookbook in the world was burned.
