BUY THIS BOOK!!!,
By reading religiously (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tassajara Recipe Book (Paperback)
This is a wonderful collection of vegetarian recipes presented in an easy-to-follow format. I recently lived at Tassajara for several years, and spent much of that time on the kitchen crew. I am delighted that this new edition includes so many recipes that I forgot to copy down when I left! Vegetarian cooking in this country has graduated its early dependency on dairy and carbo-laden meals to an incredible variety of healthy and satisfying dishes. Ed's new edition keeps the best of the original Tassajara recipes and adds some of the latest community favorites to the mix. And the most important flavor of all, that of the Tassajara community, can still be savored in Ed's poems and anecdotes about Zen practice and daily living in the valley monastery which inspired this book and continues to inspire so many people today.

Every Single Recipe in this Book is Terrific!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tassajara Recipe Book (Paperback)
Every single recipe in this book is amazing-- they are all wonderfully balanced and do not call for hard-to-find ingredients. The collection features a good blend of exotic, gourmet, health, and American-traditional dishes (with a touch of flair, of course!) Check the index under sample pages for listings. Instructions are straight-forward and easy to follow, however there are no pictures or diagrams to help (but for most people, the written instructions will be sufficient.) The book helps you develop a sense of intuition with cooking, sometimes the techniques are open-ended. This is among the best and unique recipe books I have.

By
This review is from: The Tassajara Recipe Book (Paperback)
The Tassajara Recipe Book is a great cookbook for families moving to a vegetarian diet(like mine). The recipes are delicious, simple to follow and use common ingredients available at the grocery store.
Edward Espe Brown's commentaries, descriptions and poems are thoughtful and full of humor.
