Summary: Comprehensive and beautiful
Review: This cookbook is great for those trying to switch to a vegetarian diet, because it is beautiful and mouthwatering so it will really make you want to try all the recipes and explore the different kinds of dishes. The book had an introduction to vegetarian nutrition (but not very comprehensive, so read different sources too!) and several special insert pages detailing ingredients like soy, tofu, tempeh, and the like, which may be unfamiliar to those of us new to this kind of cooking. It has lots of recipes, for all kinds of ocassions and meal types. I recommend this book to all cooks, vegetarian or not, who want to get more tasty vegetable dishes on their table!

Summary: I just don't reach for this much
Review: This was my first vegetarian cookbook so I have had it for about 6 years now. There's probably a couple hundred recipes from appetizers to beverages, but most of the ingredients are just not practicle so I barely prepare anything from this book. I also find many of the recipes to be more of the same w/ maybe just slightly different spices.I won't get rid of it as there are about 5 recipes I do make that I really like, but this is really a wasted book considering how many recipes there are and how many are basically useless.

Summary: Good stuff in here
Review: until I received this cook book, I thought all vegetarian meals had to be oat bran and fruit !!!! Not according to this book the recipes look and sound yummy.
