5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for vegetarians, April 29, 1999

This review is from: Laurel's Kitchen: A Handbook for Vegetarian Cookery and Nutrition (Paperback)

This book is an excellent guide into the world of vegetarianism. It offers delicious recipes, loads of information on good nutrition for the vegan, and is written in a humourous, easy-to-read style. The authors give great basic instruction on making meals healthy and balanced, making it simple to take off from there and get creative in the kitchen. I have literally worn out three copies of this book over the years, and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars good and good for you., January 22, 2000

This review is from: Laurel's Kitchen: A Handbook for Vegetarian Cookery and Nutrition (Paperback)

i have had this book on my kitchen shelf for 10, years. i particularly love the soup recipes. laurel robertson's soups are old favorites with a new spin. many of the legume soups include potatoes, which, though seeming a strange ingredient at first, give a marvelous, velvety texture to such old favorites as pea soup and lentil soup. anyone interested in vegetarian cooking, or just cooking with vegetables, would do well to have a copy of this book in his or her library. yum!

This book literally changed my life. I've never been healthier since I learned to cook for myself from this book. Although I now use the recipes found in the book from time to time, it set the standard for how I eat.
