I've never been a fan of Katzen's cookbooks. The original recipes were drenched in cheese, cream and butter. "Ethnic" recipes (except, perhaps, for those drawing on her own heritage) tended to be bland and inauthentic. Although the newer... read full review | report as inappropriate

`Vegetable Harvest' by the prolific culinary expatriate journalist and leading contemporary chronicler of the French `cuisine bourgeoisie' Patricia Wells is anticipated by foodies with about as much glee as the fans awaiting the next Harry Potter... read full review | report as inappropriate
I own several Patricia Wells books and like them all. But this one...I could be wrong, but rather than the product of real inspiration it strikes me as something that was merely due as part of a multi-book contract. Some of the recipes are so... read full review | report as inappropriate

Author: Judith Finlayson - (Paperback) ... more
This book is a great variation on the traditional meat slow cooker recipes. I have found Judith Finalyson's other slow cooker books to be easy and foolproof and this one is no exception. I love these recipes for entertaining whether or not the... read full review | report as inappropriate
This has delicious sounding recipes - however, EVERY ONE of them requires pre-cooking something before you can ever put in the cooker. My idea of a slow cooker recipe is one in which I can just dump stuff in and go. No, not with this book. What a... read full review | report as inappropriate
I find that many of these recipes taste the same, because she has a few ingrediants that she calls for over and over: eggplant, mushrooms, cumin. Ho hum. Plus, there is one MAJOR mistake on page 106 -- in the Three Bean Chili with Bulghar, there... read full review | report as inappropriate

John Robbins' previous books have been spectacular, so it's no surprise to me that The Food Revolution is the best book I've read in years. It is, to quote Dr. Neal Barnard, "carefully researched, eminently readable, and starkly accurate."
With... read full review | report as inappropriate
Robbin's assertions have been long demolished by serious scientists, yet his tone of utter righteousness seems to offset that. His draconian recomendations are particularly dangerous for children. American needs a more balanced view of nutrition,... read full review | report as inappropriate
Update August 2003: In all honesty, I will leave the original review in its entirety, in an attempt to show how persuasive the book can be to someone who is enironmentally and humanely aware... We're omnivores again, and a lot of that had to do... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Vegetarian Times Magazine - (Hardcover) ... more
While only some 2.5% of Americans are consistent vegetarians, an estimated 25 percent of us replace meat with meat alternatives for at least some meals, and for a handfull of reasons including: many illnesses (heart, stroke,... read full review | report as inappropriate
We have tried several recipes. None have surpassed our expectations, some have not met them. The recipes often require unusual ingredients. Some examples pulled at random: liquid aminos, smoked dulse flakes, liquid smoke, zucchini blossoms,... read full review | report as inappropriate

Review by Susan Albrecht Victoria Boutenko believes that our bodies are designed to be healthy, that our bodies are perfect, and that sickness is not normal. For Victoria, absolute health is having enough energy to manifest dreams.... read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought this book as a second option, not being able to get hold of the Boutenko's first book 'Raw Family', either here or Stateside. It is a really interesting read and one has to applaud the tenacity and determination of the family to go... read full review | report as inappropriate

This book is wonderfully full of Italian vegetarian recipes that I can imagine home cooks in Italy use. I love the "realness" of the recipes. The text is clear and the recipe instructions are given in easy to follow steps. Most recipes are... read full review | report as inappropriate
Based on the description, this looked like a perfect cookbook for me, since I am a vegetarian and I love Italian food. When I actually saw the book and started using it, I was very disappointed. The recipes generally require a lot of time,... read full review | report as inappropriate

It is much easier to identify very good and very bad cookbooks than it is to identify the merely good or average cookbooks. I saw the beauty of this book with the first recipe I prepared from it. I have read two other books on soup by very famous... read full review | report as inappropriate

This book makes an excellent gift for someone just starting to explore the vegetarian lifestyle. Surprisingly, it is also an excellent resource for the tried-and-true vegan.
For those just familiarizing themselves with the vegan diet, the author... read full review | report as inappropriate
My husband is a vegan who got this book as a gift. If you do not enjoy foods with strong spices, or different ethnic foods, this is not a book for you. As a non-vegan, I was expecting the vegan foods to try to closely imitate the tastes of their... read full review | report as inappropriate
I came back to see what other people thought about this book and since everyone seems to love it, I would have to recommend it for those who are already vegetarian or vegan minded. I still find it preachy in places as I stated below but with all... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Moosewood Collective - (Paperback) - 2001 ... more
I bought this volume, along with another Moosewood collection, a little over a month ago. To say that I'm totally hooked would be an understatement. I've done more than twenty five of their wonderful recipes. Most are SO good I can't wait to make... read full review | report as inappropriate
Of the two Moosewoods cookbooks I own, this one just doesn't remotely compare to the other, Moosewood's Daily Specials. I feel like they made these recipes up. They are weird, the recipes don't seem like real recipes. The baked goods I've made... read full review | report as inappropriate
This book could be great, like so many of their others, but I think that it's gimmicky in that they rely way too much on soy products in this one. I'm all for adding soy to foods if it belongs there, but not if it is added just to add nutrition... read full review | report as inappropriate
