This review is from: Spinach and Beyond: Loving Life and Dark Green Leafy Vegetables (Paperback)

This book is far more than a cookbook on dark green leafy vegetables. As a strict vegetarian, I am always in search of good vegetarian recipes. After a while, the cookbooks all start to look the same. This book stands out in that it not only gives a lot of good info. on buying, preparing and storing green veggies but talks of the many different kinds of greens and provides some innovative recipes for preparing them. It provides simple, unique recipes for using greens in soups, stir fries, sandwiches and wraps as well as some great healthy salad dressings and dips. The book is clear, easy to read and provides great recipes that include ingredients you can easily find and prepare.
