Summary: A Classic Companion
Review: I've owned this book for over twenty years as a companion to Edyth Cottrell's "Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Cookbook". It is neither as large or as comprehensive, but is sufficiently complete to stand on its own. The emphasis in this book is on economy in food preparation. Unlike so many contemporary cookbooks, this book avoids the use of a bunch of processed foods combined into gooey and fat-laden casseroles. I've found that so many of those 'economy' cookbooks actually end up costing quite a bit of money per serving! Mrs. Cottrell's recipes and practices amply demonstrate that simple preparation of good, whole ingredients can make healthy and very inexpensive meals. My copy is just about worn out, and it's a pleasant surprise to find that this vegetarian classic is still available. I'm ordering a fresh copy, and would highly recommend it to others!
