Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In her second vegetarian cookbook, former Vermont restaurateur Callan (The Horn of the Moon Cookbook, 1987) shows home cooks how to incorporate vegetarian dishes into their family meals. Callan uses ingredients such as tahini, tofu, tamari, seitan and arrowroot flour, but less adventurous cooks can still find plenty of choices among the 250 recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Some 100 healthful recipes are specifically marked for beginners and for young children to prepare with adult supervision. Mainstream fare includes Peach Sourdough Pancakes, Black Bean and Lime Chili, Asparagus Pasta Salad with Sesame-Ginger Dressing and Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake. Less familiar vegetarian ingredients are often integrated into known foods, sometimes with dubious results. The Oriental Tofu Balls with Fruit Sauce, Stir-Fried Vegetables and Rice, for example, blends the sauce from a mix that includes garlic, five-spice powder, vinegar and fresh fruits. Recipes call for standard versions of cream, cheese and sour cream. Line illustrations not seen by PW.

From Library Journal
Callan is the former chef/owner of the Horn of the Moon, a popular vegetarian restaurant in Vermont; her first book, Horn of the Moon Cookbook (LJ 6/15/87), was a best seller. Although it includes some recipes from her cafe days, most of the dishes in this new vegetarian cookbook are those she cooks for her family, with many " kid-pleasing" recipes. There are Breakfast Mainstays and Friend of Maple Syrup, Plenty of Pasta and Mexican Delights, Eclectic Dinners, dozens of desserts, and more. Some recipes are quite rich, but there are lots of healthy ones, too. While many will appeal to a wide audience, others, such as those that call for canned curried seitan, for example, are likely to be limited to vegetarian cooks. Recommended.

This is a great addition to your vegetarian bookshelf,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond the Moon Cookbook: More Vegetarian Recipes From the Author of Horn of the Moon Cookbook (Paperback)
Having been vegetarian for several years, I am always looking for new books to add to my collection. All the recipes that I've tried in this book have been pretty good, but by far the best feature in my mind is the muffin recipes. They are all honey sweetened, which is great for those who can't/don't do sugar. But this is the only cookbook I have where the muffins turn out like those huge ones you find in the store. Every single muffin recipe I've tried has come out of the oven overflowing the muffin cups and tasting great. This is definitely worth the money if you are a muffin lover!

I got this book for Christmas a few years back, and didn't really open it for a while. I wish I'd opened it sooner -- everything I've tried has been good. My boyfriend, who's new to cooking anything other than roasted meat, has found all the beginner-starred recipes to be simple and fairly fool-proof. Most of the dishes we've tried have a down-home, comfort food feel, and are quite filling. One note: most things we've made have been a little on the bland side -- I'd suggest doubling all spice amounts for anything that's supposed to be spicy. Also, almost everything has needed a little extra salt, but that's easily remedied by a shaker on the table.

Wonderful Cookbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond the Moon Cookbook: More Vegetarian Recipes From the Author of Horn of the Moon Cookbook (Paperback)
This is my favorite cookbook! After sitting down at each meal I found myself saying "yum . . . this tastes like gourmet food . . .!! My spouse loves all the recipes and is thrilled when ever I'm thumbing through the book looking for stuff to cook. I want to thank Ginny for publishing such a wonderful cookbook. I have wanted to thank her personally, but I haven't gotten around to writing a letter. Hopefully she will see this review.
