Summary: A wonderful collection of delicious vegetarian recipes.
Review: Vegetarian Magic is a wonderful collection of Chef Nowakowski's recipes from the Regency House Spa, a natural vegetarian resort based on holistic health principals. Vegetarian Magic has delicious, surprising creations that are designed to promote health and enjoyment as well. From Appetizers to Sauces to Entrees to Desserts, vegan concoctions and creations abound. Of special interest are the lovely salads and sauces and dressings, such as Teriyaki Glaze, Mock Bearnaise Sauce, Alfredo Sauce, and Tahini Dressing. The sauces are free of butter, margarine, and flour, and have less than 1 gram of fat per serving. This is quite a feat to accomplish and have taste intact too. An example of an entree is "Eggless Tofu Benedict," and also "Meatless Chili" and "Grilled Vegetable Paella," using vegetarian pepperoni and sausage links. A very interesting recipe for Scalloped Potatos uses tofu, miso, and soy or rice parmesan. For desserts, there is pumpkin pie, using soy milk, maple syrup, and egg replacer, plus whole wheat or rice piecrusts, tofu whipped cream, and my favorite, Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies. All recipes have full nutritional information per serving, and are clearly and simply organized and presented with a list of ingredients in the left column and numbered step by step instructions on the right. A shopping smart product list, full glossary, plus cooking tips and sample menus round out this treat of a healthy cook book.Nancy Lorraine, Reviewer
