This review is from: The Complete Encyclopedia of Vegetables & Vegetarian Cooking (Hardcover)

Out-of-print in this format, this book is out there under the 2002 re-print titled "Vegetarian and Vegetable Cooking: The definitive encyclopedia of healty vegetarian food" Combining some great old favorites like winter casserole with herbed dumplings, grape leaves, and gazpacho with new and exotically named dishes like green lentil kulbyaka and tagliatelle with spinach and soy garlic cheese the recipes in this book are outstanding both in their freshness and ease of preparation. It even includes some great "comfort" dishes in full vegetarian cover including shepherdess pie, stuffed squashes, artichokes, eggplants, etc, and chili con queso. Fully illustrated with beautiful step-by-step and finished-dish color photos. The added umph! in this book is an entire section covering the most common veggies and their varieties, how to use and prepare them, how to buy and store - just great all around information. Anyone can get years of use for family dinners and entertaining - it may even replace the Moosewood! Full Vegans be warned - many recipes contain eggs, cheese, and there are fish recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Vegetarian Cookbook I've ever found, February 12, 2006

If you want to eat a much healthier diet (especially if you are a diabetic), beg, borrow or steal this book! The recipes range from easy to complex, with everyone of them fantastic. My wife and I have had Arabian Spinach countless times. For satisfying a finicky eater like me, this book is great. Every recipe is fully explained and photographed. Ingredients are easy to get. You will wow your non-vegetarian friends.
