 "great cookbook!" 2010-05-24
By nshecooks2 (Florida)
I own many cookbooks, am a real "foodie" and am always surfing the net for new recipes , new ideas, and inspiration. Time and time again, I find myself with my nose in one or the other of my Lorna Sass cookbooks- She is a true inspiration to me. I am a cookbook "reader"- I read them like novels, and sometimes never actually cook a complete recipe without alterations- Usually I look at a few recipes for the same thing and then proceed to make my own version! With Lorna's recipes, I can make them straight from her book without changes and I am really pleased with the results. She has taught me everything I know about tofu. I love her chick pea recipes and have made most of her soups- There is also a great brussel sprout recipe- I am a curry fan and lov her mom's curry in a hurry- yum - to it all- i may have mixed up a few of the cookbooks here- as i have many of them- My new venture is a pressure cooker- inspired by Lorna- and already ordered from ebay! Can't wait to try that- My new thing for 2010 will be cooking in a pc :)) will let you know how it goes...


 "One of my favorites" 2010-04-27
By Happy Soaper (St. Louis, MO)
This is a book I turn to regularly in planning my meals. They have great flavor and are healthy as well. I've tried many of the recipes while entertaining the meat-eaters in my family and they were always well-received. For someone who's not accustomed to lots of prep work and working with whole foods, it might seem a bit time consuming, particularly if you don't have a pressure cooker, but for those used to chopping, etc, it's fairly standard prep time for a good vegan/vegetarian meal. Some actually are fairly quick to prepare, like the Black Bean Skillet (a favorite of mine, particularly when pressed for time) or any of the delicious bean salads. I can't recommend this enough!

This is a great book and a must-have for anyone who cooks with whole grains. The ingredients needed for most recipes are simple and easy-to-find. Most important, though, is that the dishes that I have made using this book are delicious!


 "Love this book!" 2009-11-30
By Impatientgirl (Vancouver, WA USA)
I am neither vegan nor vegetarian, but was looking for some way to add healthy real food variety to my diet. I bought this book because all the receipes sound so delicious, and it lived up to my first impression! I especially like the encyclopedia of ingredients and the instruction tables for beans & grains. In addition to the wonderful flavor varieties in the recipes, I continually reference this book when I'm looking to make up my own recipes too. I'm also just about to buy my first pressure cooker because as wonderful as the recipes are, I want to make them quicker! Highly recommended.


 "Reference and Recipes - A good place to start" 2009-02-17
By CDOI (Oregon)
The beginning of this book provides ideas on stocking a healthy pantry and kitchen. It offers introductory information on the basics of pressure cooking, wok cookery, and steaming. At the back it offers an ingredient glossary with useful explanations (such as which potatoes to use when baking, pressure cooking or steaming) and definition of foods you may be unfamiliar with, like pulses. In the middle are some very sound standard vegetarian recipes. Also included are Measurement and Cooking Time Charts for steaming, stove top cooking, pressure cooking - a feature I particularly appreciate. There is even a chart on growing sprouts. This would be a good book to give a young person who is just starting out. May I also suggest 'Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure' by Lorna Sass. Don't be afraid - pressure cookers aren't what they used to be. They are quite safe, easy to use and cook in way less time. I would hate to be without mine. Bon Appetite!
