I absolutely love this cookbook. I've tried a few recipes now and I, a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and my husband, an omnivore, both love everything we've had. The pictures are gorgeous, the directions are simply stated, and there's lots of good general advice, sample meal plans for veggies and vegans, etc. And, there are plenty of recipes that aren't just salads (I hate when vegetarian has to mean just greens). My first week I've lost four pounds, and I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the recipes and getting healthier!
I whole-heartedly recommend trying this book. The only warning is that there are a few hard-to-find ingredients (e.g. kecap manis (which I got on Amazon), and Stone-ground whole-wheat self-rising flour (I found stone-ground whole-wheat flour and added baking powder per an internet recipe)).
A big thank you to these authors! :) |
TOO many Carbs

| Some of the meals look interesting in the picture - however - the carbs and Cal. are off the scale. Also found too many dishes using eggs. Being Diabetic as well as Vegetarian - these meals just do not work for me. |
... NOT vegetarian...

I was flipping through the book and came right to a recipe that calls for gelatin, with absolutely no mention as to replacements that could be used instead. Knowing that gelatin is not vegetarian, it makes me sort of question if these authors know what they are talking about through the rest of the material.
I also don't like that the photographs of the prepared recipes do not say on them (or anywhere near them) what the recipe is or on which page to find it. It makes it incredibly difficult to use this cookbook.
On the other hand, there are a few really good recipes in here. |
AWESOME BOOK!

Is it no longer available?
Thanks,
