Political Palate: A Feminist Vegetarian Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: OUTRAGEOUS!
Review: A very unusual format for social commentary. This is a heartfelt "i love women/wymin" declaration, and a cookbook almost incidentaliy. The poetry/quotations are refreshing and over the top. Historic, unusual - this book is a must have.

Summary: Outstanding recipes, but read caveat below
Review: The recipes in this book are truly outstanding, and I would recommend them to anyone who loves good food. However, they are interspersed with feminist, lesbian, and erotic poetry. My personal belief is that there is a time and place for everything, and that a cookbook is neither the time nor the place for such passages. To say the least, I found the quotes very disconcerting -- and some quite offensive.

The recipes are truly outstanding ... Just be forewarned about the poetry/quotations.

Summary: A wonderful cookbook
Review: This has long been one of my favorite cookbooks. I have been cooking from it for more than fifteen years now. I have made the onion soup recipe countless times. In addition to the great recipes there are expressions of the authors' strong feminist opinions. I found them stimulating. This is the first in a series of books all of which are excellent.
