Review
The Peaceful Palate is a vegetarian cookbook that belongs in every kitchen. The first 18 pages are devoted to background information on choosing food for optimum health including facts about protein, calcium, fat, dairy products, eggs, sweeteners, cooking with dried beans, equipping the vegetarian kitchen, stocking the pantry for healthful eating, "what to eat when you don't eat meat", and foods which may be new to the beginning vegetarian. The rest of this delightful culinary treasury id devoted to vegetarian recipes for breakfasts, breads, sandwiches, salads and salad dressings, sauces, spreads, dips, soups and stews, vegetables, grains and side dishes, main dishes, and desserts. From Antipasto Salad, Tabouli, and Pasta with Peanut Sauce to Tofu Pot Pie, Poached Pears, and Sweet Surprise Pumpkin Pie, The Peaceful Palate demonstrates that a vegetarian meal is a gourmet's repast and a hungry family's delight. -- Midwest Book Review

I just bought The Peaceful Palate about a week ago, and I've already used it several times. I love buying veggie cookbooks and collecting recipes, but this one stands out. I can make most of the recipes in it just using the ingredients I already have in my kitchen -- I do have a well-stocked pantry, but that's still unusual. I would recommend this book for beginners, busy people and those who sometimes just forget how easy it can be to throw together a healthy meal (like me!).

Friends keep asking me what to get for someone who has just started cooking or turned vegan. Hands down, this is the one and only book I recommend. I bought it four years ago and still use it weekly. It has fool-proof cornbread, hummus, split pea soup, tacos, masoor dal, Thai noodle salad, oatmeal cookies---all the vegan stand-bys. For breakfasts, the scrambled tofu is good, though I had bad luck with the french toast and sourdough pancakes. I really appreciate the nutritional information provided for each dish. The pantry-stocking pages are excellent, as is the overview of nutrition and veganism. For beginners, the book's chief asset is its brevity: my first vegan cookbook was too big, and it took me way too long to sift through it and plan the week's meals. This has everything you need for months of great cooking, without much fuss. And its wide pages lay relatively flat, which makes it easier to use in the kitchen. A must for the new vegan or cook in your life.

As recent converts to a vegetarian lifestyle, my husband and I were desperate for nutritious, low-fat, delicious recipies. After looking at countless veggie cookbooks, we found The Peaceful Palate. Every recipe we've tried has been wonderful! So far we've given away at least twenty copies of the book to friends and relatives who have expressed an interest. We should apply for a volume discount!

My favorite veg cookbook of all time
I have a lot of vegan cookbooks, and this one remains my all-time favorite. It's classic. The recipes are easy, and the ingredients are likely already in your pantry. Read more

Not what I expected
I have quite a few vegan cookbooks in my cabinet now. Sadly this was a disappointment. I hopes to get some really great and simple vegan ideas for family dinners. Read more

A somewhat good but outdated cook book
this was a good basic vegetarian cook book. In it's day it was a breakthrough, somewhat outdated now with some of the newer books.

Mistake on my part

If you're new to Veganism, this book is for you.
I recently went vegan and asked a vegetarian friend if they could recommend a starter cookbook. She let me borrow her copy of "Peaceful Palate". Read more
