Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Wagner (the TV star) and Spade have raised their families on a strict meatless diet with no dairy products, eggs, or sugar. Their recipes are designed for both the converted and for those who still crave meat: Italian Sausage and Peppers (with sausages made from tofu) and Teriyaki Tofu ("reminiscent of chicken"). The dishes that aren't trying to imitate other flavors--Pasta with Avocado Pesto--seem more appealing. Committed vegetarians and the newly health-conscious will find this interesting, but others are less likely to adopt such a strict regimen. For special collections.

First, Thank You Amazon for your speedy delivery. I had this book in 3 days.
I purchased this book not to become a vegetarian but to learn to cook healthier foods. I must say that after reading and trying the recipes Lyndsay and Ariane did a wonderful job. This book actually informs the reader on the health benefits of a more natural diet using whole grains and more fruits and vegetables. They do not say you have to be a vegetarian they just give you information and guidelines for a healthier lifestyle.
If anyone has tried Vegetarian cookbooks before (as I have), and thrown them out because they were complicated with ingredients you can't find, try this book, I had almost everything in my kitchen already, there are no funky things to go out and find, and my sons (9 and 11) have decided they like soy milk better than regular milk. Best book I have ever purchase. Thanks goes to Lyndsay and Ariane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this book!, August 17, 2000

This review is from: High Road to Health: A Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)

We got a copy of this book in the early '90's, and it has some excellent, tasty, easy-to-prepare recipes. I'm buying another copy to replace the original, because we've literally worn it out from use. An excellent resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars I found this book to be both entertaining and informative., August 23, 1998

This review is from: High Road to Health: A Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)

I was pleasantly surprised at how the information was presented in this cookbook. The authors expressed their desire to create a cookbook that contained not only great recipes but also useful information presented in an interesting manner. They have succeeded. Although I am not a strict vegetarian, I can say that I am not much of a meat eater. This book has helped me with ideas on how to use meat substitutes in a way that is tempting even for my meat-eater husband. All I can say is Bon Appetit!
