Classic standard for every kitchen
Vegitarian Cooking for Everyone really is a classic cookbook that teaches the fundamentals as well as everything that you need to know about cooking everything from grains and vegetables to pastas and everything in between. It is right there with Julia Child's The Way to Cook and Marion Cunningham's The Fannie Farmer Cookbook in it's level of importance and likely everyday practical use in any kitchen.
Nevertheless, as with The Way to Cook, this is much more than just a basics cookbook. It teaches an understanding about the foods that it address. To my mind, that is what makes a cookbook a great book and not just a compilation of recipes.
Fantastic
This is a wonderful cookbook. It was in perfect condition and arrived quicker than expected. I am not a vegetarian but the recipes in Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone are unique and just reading through it makes my mouth water. I have made a few things already and everything has turned out splendidly.
skip it
I would say Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone should be checked out at the library and thumbed through. I would not suggest purchasing it. Time consuming recipes, hard to follow, disorganized... It's not worth the high price, especially for someone that is cashing in on vegetarian cooking and she's not even a vegetarian. Buy a cookbook from a vegetarian author.
great gift
This was a great gift to my wonderful neice who is now vegetarian. She was thrilled to receive it.
Delicous and nutritious!
Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is always out...everything I've made has been delicious and it has so many different recipes for non-meat foods. As a non-veg, I generally substitute chicken stock for vegetable stock and use the tofu marinades for chicken or fish. Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is a great inspiration for diversifying our meals. I recommend it to everyone I know!
