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.

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.

My husband actually found this on the bargain bin! Little did we know it would be the best cookbook we own. Everything i have cooked has been scrumptious. I recommend the jalepeno enchildas and asian stuffed shrooms.
My husband said he wouldn't mind being vegetarian if all the food tasted this good.

This cookbook was my bible when I began to cook vegetarian dishes. I used it so much I had to get a second copy because the first was so badly stained! It is a great beginner's cookbook, especially for those with a limited budget and limited pantry space. Because this cookbook is by one person, rather than a collective like the Moosewood series, key ingredients (spices and staples) are utilized throughout the book. A great gift for a college student. Recipes include cheese and eggs, but not sugar. I just wish it wasn't going out of print!

I've been cooking mostly vegetarian meals for years and recently decided to cook only vegetarian meals, much to my family's disappointment. However, the meals I've made from this cookbook, such as Cauliflower Mushroom Cheddar Soup, Spinach Potato Feta Strudel and a burrito dish with tofu, avocado and other veggies (can't remember this recipe's name) were all big hits with all but my teenage boy. The dishes are very flavorful and traditional enough for my family to enjoy (they got really tired of all the Asian inspired meals I was making) but interesting enough for me to enjoy, plus protein rich and nutritious.

Excellent condition and speedy service.
We love the horn of the moon cookbook series. The recipes are simple and very tasty.
