Our food choices do affect the planet! Ecological cooking can be good for the environment (using foods low on the food chain), good for our sense fo well-being (placing ethics on the dinner table), and good for our bodies (a vegan diet reduces the risk of heart attack by 90%).

4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful cookbook with lots of good recipes!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ecological Cooking: Recipes to Save the Planet (Paperback)
This cookbook is very useful, as not only does it have many great recipes, it includes information about the environment and how to live more in tune with the earth. Also included is information about feeding your animal friends. There are some recipes that aren't terribly exciting, and a few that I didn't like at all, such as Indian Cabbage and Peas and the Millet Stew. But overall, this is a great cookbook. there are tons of recipes (included in this book are OVER 500 recipes!) that ARE good, especially the Banana Nut Bread recipe, and the Brown Rice and Tofu Stir-Fry. There are some very imaginative dishes, like the Greek Rice Special, that were pleasantly surprising to me. My only complaints are the lack of nutrional analyses, and some recipes call for margarine. I just substitute Spectrum Spread with great results.

If you get only one vegan cookbook, get this one!,
By Rosemary Amey (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ecological Cooking: Recipes to Save the Planet (Paperback)
This is the cookbook I recommend to people getting started with vegan cooking. As well as a huge range of recipes, Stepaniak and Hecker give a guide to setting up the vegan kitchen, and oodles of inspiring quotes on vegan ethics. Most of the recipes use "normal" ingredients; less familiar ingredients are explained in a glossary. While I will admit I didn't like every single recipe here, most of them are tasty, filling, and have become a regular part of our family's repertoire. I particularly like Basic Muffins, Teriyaki Salad, Indonesian Rice Salad, and Spicy Vegetable Bean Stew.

Not Just for Vegans,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ecological Cooking: Recipes to Save the Planet (Paperback)
I gave up being a vegan almost ten years ago, but I still keep this book around for a few excellent staple recipes--veggie burgers, sloppy joes, bread casserole. Its simplicity is a relief compared to the fifty-ingredient all-day projects presented in many modern vegan cookbooks, and many of the recipes are surprisingly good. The only thing wrong with this book is the terrible index.
