4.0 out of 5 stars nature's miracle food, January 6, 2002

By	Jimalls (Hometown, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Nutritional yeast is one of those few miraculous foods that all vegetarians/vegans have to be thankful for. First, nutritional yeast is grown off of blackstrap molasses. It is jam packed with fiber, protein, and tons of B vitamins, especially the highly debated B12. This cookbook makes it very easy for you to incoporate more nutritional yeast into your eating lifestyle. Be careful, Brewer's yeast is NOT nutritional yeast. This cookbook features recipes that are not suitable for substitution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of creative recipes, February 21, 2005

By	merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I love the taste of nutritional yeast so I was excited to get this cookbook. Its written by Red Star, the makers of one brand one nutritional yeast, so be prepared to see their name plastered throughout the book. The recipes in here are vegan - even in recipes like the mushroom soup where tofu sour cream is used. Its really good too. There are recipes for sauces (including cheez sauces), aioli, "pate", pesto, soups, salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. The popcorn recipe with the yeast flakes is a real hit in our house too. Excellent book to help get a lot more use out of the yeast flakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and healthy, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This book is a must for all vegetarian kitchens. It has a huge variety of tasty recipes. She has sections on breakfast, breads and crackers, spreads and 'butters', dips & sauces & gravy, soups, snadwhiches, entrées, and desserts. Some of my favorite recipes include: phenomenol french toast, crock cheeze, golden yam soup, messy mikes, pasta with sweet onion and pine nuts, and the quick herb and onion focaccia.
