Summary: My favorite cookbook
Review: French Vegetarian Cooking has become my favorite cookbook. It almost converted me to being a vegetarian. The recipes are simple, with sublime combinations of readily available ingredients. The recipes are wonderful for whipping up a quick afterwork meal or vegetable dish that tastes like good French restaraunt food. If you're tired of eating the same old-same old, buy this book. You'll be thrilled with the results of throwing together a few classic ingredients that produce a fabulous tasting and refreshing change from your regular fare. It will impress your family too. If you're going to feed them green beans you might as well pour on a little combination of lemon, garlic, olive oil and basil to make a superb side dish. (Great for taking to parties too). As long as you're making baked potatoes, it takes no time to throw together a cream, mushroom and herb concoction to stuff them with. So much better than boring old spuds. And even the kids will be tempted by the lovely creamy, cheesy mornay sauce you can pour over the brussel sprouts. Really! My 8 year old loves that dish. So if you want to impress friends and family using simple, fast recipes that produce surprisingly scrumptious results, get this cookbook. You will find yourself using it often and loving it.

Summary: It's French, it's vegetarian, but it's not intimidating.
Review: Paola Gavin has done down-to-earth cooks a huge favor by proving that the words "French" and "vegetarian" can co-exist in peace and simplicity. Refreshingly short ingredient lists grace the pages, presented in an austere format which belies the tempting and tasty dishes that will result.
