Summary: An aweful cookbook
Review: I want my money back. This is a horrid cookbook with bad recipes. Many of the ingredients you can't even find and the ones you can make are like something bland and earthy you'd find someone at a Grateful Dead concert selling. I would not make any of these recipes for anyone I liked. This is the only book I've ever thrown away in my life.

Summary: great book!
Review: i'm a professional chef, and this is one of my favorite cookbooks. in response to first revue up there, half of making good food is following a recipe...the other half is cooking it well! don't blame the book of you can't do the second step.

Summary: A must have for any cook.
Review: Imagine these foods: Fresh potato bread, tangy marinated pasta salad, oven-baked carob swirl bread, sweet glazed muffins, calzones filled with onions, zucchini, and mozzarella cheese, AND spicy enchiladas with sauce - all delicious and healthy! This has to be my favorite cookbook. I never thought I could find recipes for foods that my two vegan cousins would eat. There is even a recipe for mayonnaise without eggs! This book makes it easy to be a vegetarian

Summary: Sure to become a favorite!
Review: Many different ethnic and cooking styles are represented in this beautiful cookbook. As with The Moosewood, this book is richly illustrated with hand drawings and includes color photos. The fat, dairy and egg content of many of the recipes has been significantly reduced without sacrificing taste! There is even a list of all the vegan, low-fat and nonfat recipes in the back of the book for easy reference. Chapters include: Soups, Salads, Breads, Sauces, Dips and Spreads, Entrees, Desserts, Menu Planning Notes, Improvisation Notes (for those chronic experimenters), and Bean and Grain Cooking Charts. Each food section has a list of recipes in the beginning in addition to the complete index in the back of the book. It is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.

Summary: Once upon a time...
Review: Once upon a time, I worshipped this cookbook...then, I moved to San Francisco and became accustomed to the Bay Area cuisine. Mollie Katzen's recipes do not stand up to the refined fresh, wholesome foods that this region of the country has perfected. I am actually quite disappointed in some of my former favorite recipes. They have not withstood the test of time....the flavor combinations are definately off......

Summary: The most worn of all my cookbooks!
Review: One of the top three cookbooks I own. The book was a gift to me in 1995, and since then numerous recipes have become staples in our house and for entertaining. Every recipe is unusual in its combination and number of ingredients, each packed with flavor, and all healthy. While the number of ingredients in each recipe and their preparation may seem daunting, it's well worth the effort.

Summary: Revolting!
Review: Speaking as someone who hasn't eaten meat in two decades, I think I can safely say it's people like Mollie Katzen who have given vegetarianism a black eye.

Every single recipe in this collection is disgusting, amateurish and muddled. The Katzen method: Take random ingredients, smother in fat, and add a ridiculous amount of a single herb (usually dill).

The eponymous dish is a slab of brown glop studded with broccoli "trees," which burn to a black crisp when you follow the directions.

Nasty. AVOID. AVOID. Go get The Savory Way, or just take the vegetarian standbys from every world culture's kitchen. Please forget this food-destroyer's ignorant instruction.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: The vegetarian recipes in this wonderful cookbook reflect many different ethnic cooking styles, and use a wide variety of ingredients. The charming illustrations guide you through blintzes, enchiladas, breads, cheesecakes, and more. Yummy!
