5.0 out of 5 stars
Cute cookbook, and very good!, July 5, 2002
This review is from: Babe's Country Cookbook : 80 Complete Meat-Free Recipes from the Farm (Hardcover)
I bought this book mostly for the stories and illustrations, but was surprised by how good the recipes are! Almost every recipe I've tried from this book has been a great success and added to my permanent recipe file, and I am fairly confident whenever I try something new from this cookbook that it will turn out well. Some of my new regular favorite meals include the Risotto with Asparagus and Pine Nuts, the Porcini Omelet with Feta and Sage and the Whole-Wheat Vegetarian Pie. There are some old standbys included in this cookbook, but for the most part, the recipes are delicious and different without being bizarre or difficult. If you're looking for some delicious new recipes, or even if you are just a fan of the movie Babe, consider getting this book. Even if you never cook out of it, you'll enjoy the "cozy" feeling of the stories and photos. Now that this book has been remaindered, it's really a great buy, too.

Yummy, April 21, 2000
This review is from: Babe's Country Cookbook : 80 Complete Meat-Free Recipes from the Farm (Hardcover)
I will try to avoid the obvious references to food and pigs. *grin* That aside, this is a wonderful cookbook! I bought it as a fan of the movie, and was delightfully surprised at how good a book it is. Contains breakfasts, soups, salads, vegetables, suppers, pickles & relishes, and deserts. The warm linguini with fresh tomato, balsalmic vinegar, and parmigiano-reggiano is quite good, as are the pecan sugar cookies. Although these recipes are not vegan, they are most definately vegetarian, and tasty!

A wonderful, witty and useful cookbook, January 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Babe's Country Cookbook : 80 Complete Meat-Free Recipes from the Farm (Hardcover)
Babe's Country Cookbook combines a compelling selection of vegetarian fare to cook at home with the charm of a Beatrix Potter tale. The illustrations are first-rate, too. You don't have to love Babe, or eschew meat, to enjoy this book and profit from it.
