Great Gift!

I gave this to my college-age vegetarian daughter as a gift. She was thrilled. So, in case you have a young vegetarian on your gift list, rest assured this is "very cool."

worth having

So, I have to admit...when I picked this book up, it was to giggle a bit at the photos. But when I started to peruse the recipes, I realized I had to have the book. If you are vegetarian (or, like me, just don't eat a ton of meat), you likely already keep most of the ingredients as staples and buy the rest on a fairly regular basis. Perhaps you will even find something you always wanted to try, but never knew how to make edible--mine was quinoa. The recipies are diverse, creative, and easy to prepare (there is a "Special Occasions" section for time or labor intensive foods). Best of all, everything actually works! Several of the recipes have become standards for me, and every time I flip through I find something else I want to try. And, yes, I still occasionaly find myself laughing at the pictures.

My New Favorite Cookbook

As a relatively new vegetarian, I have recently purchased many cookbooks. This one has become my favorite by far! I have tried recipes from all different sections, from appetizers to salads to main course and all but one have been delicious. As the only vegetarian in my household, I appreciate the recipes with fewer servings. Who would have thought that my non-vegetarian family would love Roasted Vegetable (Tofu) Quesadillas?!
