Some of the concepts and preparation methods are dated (you can't home-can in tin cans any more - I don't think) but I have tried some of the recipes, and they taste MUCH better than they look and since they have no animal products, they take a long time to go stale.

For me, the main obstacle in trying the main dishes is the extremely long cooking times - as long as 6 hours, and using a Crock-Pot probably won't work. As for breads and side dishes, no problem.

This gem of a little cookbook as many wonderful recipes. Tried and true, on your way to being a healthier vegetarian! I recommend it highly!

This book has many recipes designed to save money, and most of these are sold for very high prices in the specialty health food stores. Soups, breads, even tofu and other soy products; make them to your taste for much cheaper!

Great book, very old information. Its great to know there were people who cared about the animals back in the early 1900's too.

This is my favorite "hippie" mostly vegan cookbook. It's been around since since the late 60s, when I purchased mine. The recipes are easy to follow and use common ingredients available at super markets. The waffle section is my favorite! Of course, a good blender is a must for this book, and I wore out several. I'm using a VitaMix now, and hope it lasts more than the average 10 years of the weaker blenders.

I have had this book in my kitchen for about 20 years! It is a good reference for the health and nutrition it references.

it's not a very big book, but it does contain some interesting recipes, I would say overall that it's not a great book, but it does contain some useful idea's for some healthy meals and snacks, so that in itself makes it useful.
