5.0 out of 5 stars Sure to become a favorite!, February 16, 2000

By	Melanie Wilson "vegetarianbabydotcom" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Many different ethnic and cooking styles are represented in this beautiful cookbook. As with The Moosewood, this book is richly illustrated with hand drawings and includes color photos. The fat, dairy and egg content of many of the recipes has been significantly reduced without sacrificing taste! There is even a list of all the vegan, low-fat and nonfat recipes in the back of the book for easy reference. Chapters include: Soups, Salads, Breads, Sauces, Dips and Spreads, Entrees, Desserts, Menu Planning Notes, Improvisation Notes (for those chronic experimenters), and Bean and Grain Cooking Charts. Each food section has a list of recipes in the beginning in addition to the complete index in the back of the book. It is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.

4.0 out of 5 stars my favorite cookbook, January 5, 2001

By	NotATameLion (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a beautiful book. Written in an engaging style and filled with excellent recipes, "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" by Mollie Katzen has become my favorite cookbook. I received "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest" as a birthday present a few years back. The recipes range (just to use the soups as an example) from basic fare-Tomato soup, to exotic-Sesame Eggdrop soup. I dove right in. My first attempt was the Curried Peanut soup. It got scary towards the middle of the cooking time (The smell of the onions and spices being sauteed was wretched). But in the end, the soup was excellent! In fact, every recipe I have made from this book has not only tasted great, but has been fun to cook. I heartily recommend this cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any cook., January 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (Paperback)

Imagine these foods: Fresh potato bread, tangy marinated pasta salad, oven-baked carob swirl bread, sweet glazed muffins, calzones filled with onions, zucchini, and mozzarella cheese, AND spicy enchiladas with sauce - all delicious and healthy! This has to be my favorite cookbook. I never thought I could find recipes for foods that my two vegan cousins would eat. There is even a recipe for mayonnaise without eggs! This book makes it easy to be a vegetarian
