About the Author
Jennifer Warren was destined to cook. While growing up, she watched her parents create delectable dishes in their family restaurant, and her brother cook up feasts as a chef and caterer. It was difficult to avoid culinary discussions in her family. In her teens, Jennifer decided to become a vegetarian. She was disappointed that her vegetarian cookbooks didn’t include comfort food, food that she grew up enjoying. So with some determination, creativity, and experimentation she began creating vegetarian comfort dishes of her own.
Jennifer earned a degree in philosophy and English literature from Trent University. But that didn’t get her out of the food industry. Currently, she is a writer and editor whose projects include a series of recipes for dinner-themed C.D.’s.
Living in Montreal, Jennifer keeps busy collecting vintage cookbooks from the 1950s and 1960s.

HOORAY!,

This review is from: Vegetarian Comfort Food: Meals Like Mom Makes, Without the Meat (Paperback)
Finally, a book that makes some of my old favourites available to me again. I despaired for years of ever finding a good vegetarian substitute for German cabbage rolls, and here it is. The Penne Alla Vodka in this book is also to DIE for. Anyone who grew up in a carbohydrate-laden environment as a child is going to adore this book, full of noodles, potatoes, hearty soups, puddings, upside down cakes... this book is subtitled "meals like mom makes, without the meat". I'd agree, except I'm a better cook than mom ever was, and I'm not going to collapse from saturated fat ingestion from these wonderful recipes, either. Kudos to Jennifer Warren for this excellent volume. I look forward to future endeavours.

Simple yet Delicious Recipes,
By ARW (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vegetarian Comfort Food: Meals Like Mom Makes, Without the Meat (Paperback)
I bought this book a few weeks ago and have tried several recipes already, as most of them are rather simple to follow and they don't require a lot of fancy ingredients. I've just finished eating the French toast, which was DELICIOUS and prepared so quickly. I would also recommend the Colonel's Tofu--so Good! Even my veggie-suspicious cousin liked it. I definitely would endorse this book.

Thank goodness!,

This review is from: Vegetarian Comfort Food: Meals Like Mom Makes, Without the Meat (Paperback)
This certainly is a hearty book. Not only have I now added some DELICIOUS soups to my winter repertoire, but I feel like I've been cooking with a new friend. Warren's personal memories of each recipe and her down-home approach have made me feel truly welcomed into her culinary family. I never knew that I could learn to work quite easily with TVP, or to make a guilt-free vegan cake. I feel as if all my insecurities about vegetarian cooking have been addressed and solved by an intelligent and thorough author. Try this book--it's a feast!
