Vegetarian cooking has entered America's mainstream for a number of reasons: it's healthy, it tastes good, it's easy to prepare, and it's tends to be a lot less expensive than non-vegetarian cuisine. Life's Simple Pleasures: Fine Vegetarian Cooking For Sharing And Celebration presents six complete menus for each of the four seasons and features more than 140 tempting recipes. Those who love to entertain might choose Broccoli & Cheese Quiche with a sliced potato crust, Sun Country Tomato Salad, and Blueberry Cheesecake. For quick family meals, you might try Vegetable Stroganoff or Pita Pizzas. And who could resist Tropical Strawberry Sherbet or Chunky Apple and Peanut Butter Cookies? These are just some of the vegetarian dishes that are nutritious, pleasing to the eye as well as to the palate, and very easy to prepare. For those watching other aspects of their diet, complete nutritional information is included with each recipe. Complementing the menus and recipes which reflect the varied moods and events of the changing seasons, the more than sixty spectacular color photographs by Stan Sinclair are the perfect introduction to a cuisine that would grace the table of any discerning chef. -- Midwest Book Review
