I have a subscription to the vegetarian times, so i thought that this cookbook would be perfect for me-i was wrong, though. i found the recipes to be a little bland and outdated, as what happens when one finds vegetarian cookbooks from the eighties and earlier. they were too basic of recipes for me. some other people out there who are just begining to experiment with vegetarian cooking may really enjoy this cookbook, but for me, i was pretty disappointed.
Great cookbook!! Has a little bit of everything. 400 recipes!!
I gave this book a three star rating. Published in 1984, I found the information a little out of date. The new findings on foods and nutrition are constantly changing and being updated. New ingredients are being introduced. New ways of buying, preparing and cooking have become available too. It is worth looking at to get some ideas.
This book is a good go-to for basic recipes, which is exactly what I wanted it for. It also happens to have my all-time favorite bean burger recipe in it (which is saying a lot for a vegetarian), so my copy is well-worn and loved.
i thought it would have more recipes than it did.
