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.

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.

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!

I have tried many of the recipes in this book and have enjoyed almost all of them. The writers seem as thou they enjoy cooking and eating the food they create, which makes it easy to follow. I have started using this recipe book more and more....wish all cookbooks were this easy for those of us who are terrible in the kitchen.

I just took a fresh look at this book, which was given to me in the early 90's, and realized I have made more of the recipes in this book than any other vegetarian cookbook I've owned. The recipes are simple, for the most part, and tasty. It was written at a time when all fats were considered dangerous, and I will at times add a bit more olive oil or other healthy fat when needed to enhance a recipe. But overall, I have had many successes that I am happy to return to: lentil parsnip soup, avocado pesto, tomato garbanzo bean sauce, and more. I'm happy to rediscover this book, and to see its still in publication!

I was given this book several years ago, but, resulting from several moves, I lost it on the way. I finally got around to ordering it to, again, enjoy the California influenced recipes that are contained. It is a welcome re-addition to my humble collection of recipe books.
