From Publishers Weekly
This new work by Sass ( Cooking Under Pressure ) offers a timely view of the relatively new--and constantly increasing--bounty of organic foods available in many urban areas. Recipes are both numerous and practical, keeping the author's promise of "sophisticated flavor and strong visual appeal."28 Some of the best dishes include carrots with olives and 20 cloves of garlic, curried yellow split-pea soup with squash and raisins, sun-dried tomato dip, and fig and hazelnut pudding. Interspersed are excellent ideas like marinades intended to give "that wallflower tofu some assertiveness training," and how to double or triple batch-cook beans and freeze the rest. Utilizing the pressure cooker and the wok (yet not explaining why the microwave oven is ignored here), Sass shows how to get "a healthy, well-balanced meal on the table in record time." The highlight of the book, however, is the 75-page alphabetical list of ingredients and storage information on a vast variety of New Age (and oldtime) produce, grains, beans and even aquatic vegetables. Refreshingly, this is obviously not textbook information, but is based on invaluable real-life, real-kitchen use of these items.

From Library Journal
The author's "ecological kitchen" serves low-fat, high-fiber vegetarian food, made without dairy products or eggs, with an emphasis on organic seasonal produce, fuel-efficient cooking, and minimal waste. Her approach to such a diet is more accessible than most, and her recipes are more appealing than the standard collections of vegan dishes. Sass is the author most recently of Cooking Under Pressure ( LJ 11/15/89), a rediscovery of the pressure cooker, and here she uses her cooker to produce many quick soups, bean and grain dishes, and stews. The soups are particularly nice, as are the sauces and quick breads (the recipes for eggless cakes may find fewer takers). A useful glossary of ingredients is appended. This should appeal to fans of the Moosewood cookbooks as well as to the growing numbers of newer converts to a plant-based diet.
