5.0 out of 5 stars My first vegetarian cookbook, August 18, 2002

This review is from: Recipes for a Small Planet (Mass Market Paperback)

A friend gave me this book (the spiral edition) in 1973, and it truly changed my life -- I became a vegetarian immediately. This is where I learned how to cook and eat all kinds of food that I'd never seen before, especially beans. I am not crazy about the "breakfast" recipes, but the breads in this cookbook are great. I have over a hundred cookbooks, and I still make the lasagne with adzuki beans (complicated) and the potato soup (easy). Almost every page in my book is either stained or annotated or both.
The only disadvantage to this cookbook is that many recipes call for dairy products and eggs -- things that I still enjoy after 29 years, but that I am not allowed to eat as often these days!
This is a classic, educational cookbook for vegetarians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could be called "How to be a happy, healthy vegetarian", March 28, 2000

This review is from: Recipes for a Small Planet (Mass Market Paperback)

This book, with it's emphasis on tasty recipes and easy to understand information on balancing proteins, is a 'must read/must own' book for anyone considering a vegetarian diet, or even for those who just want to add some variety to a traditional diet. This book is the foundation for a healthier eating, and I recommend it to all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes ... inconvenient packaging, March 24, 2001

By

This review is from: Recipes for a Small Planet (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great cookbook! The reason I only gave it 4 stars is becaus the cookbook is bound in a regular book format so it is very difficult to place on the counter top or in a recipe hook holder when you cook. The original version was spiral bound which was great! All cookbooks should come spiral bound!!! My two primary cookbooks in the kitchen are this one and More With Less (which incidently is actually spiral bound)!
