Great Investment

This is a great book that really delivers what it promises. Easy, great tasting recipes. Two of my favorites are the roasted cabbage with peanut sauce and the bean salad with citrus vinagrette. It includes many, simple ways to spice up rice dishes (if you have a ton of spices on hand already -- or force yourself to invest in them). However, I didn't give it five stars because like most recipe books, it has some ingredients that I've never heard of....but that's my own subjectiveness/food ignorance speaking. You might have the stuff already.

A life-saver for busy, but hungry, people!

I hope for your sake that this book is reprinted! It has changed my life! I now actually cook the kinds of food I would love to buy at a gourmet, vegetarian deli! (But I live in a remote village and we don't have such opportunities!) I have a long commute and am short on time. But the interesting spices and food combinations in this book have inspired me to make the effort to cook -- for the first time in months! In fact, the recipes have been a springboard for culinary creativity. In several cases I've been inspired to augment the recipes with my own additions. (Because of that, I can't critique the recipes as they stand except to say that they got me into the kitchen and got my creative as well as gastronomic juices flowing!) I think anyone would like the recipes in this book -- vegetarian or not
