 Rating:  - Great for non-Vegetarians, too.For some reason, this book is in my house even though none of us are vegetarians. That being said, I have used it many, many times. There is so much information in here, lots of culinary basics that are made lighter or healthier. And I really love (in contrast with some other reviewers) the author's view about soy products. Tofu ad tempeh are good, but there have been vegetarians in the West long before this stuff was available. I love the use of lots of vegetables and whole grains. The bread and soup sections are especially great. I will often turn to this cookbook if I want to cook something basic but don't know how, like different kinds of muffins, onion soup, or focaccia. All in all, a great book, whether or not you're a vegetarian. There are so many opportunities to make these dishes special and unique by adding or changing up as you like! Rating:  - It's been donated ...Pretty thorough info on a variety of grains/vegetables; however, I completely agree with earlier reviewers. Some major recipe omissions in the soybean category, frugal with spices, and really opinionated -- e.g., she ruthlessly "disses" Quinoa, which is very nutritious and, in my opinion and that of many others, tastes great. Is it my imagination, or are the recipes predominantly Western European? Rating: - keep coming back to it after 8 yearsI must have picked up this cookbook at the bookstore when it was newly published because it looked good. Unlike many other cookbooks I've bought under similar conditions, it has stood the test of time and I keep coming back to it, year after year, as my tastes and lifestyle have changed. The recipes taste fresh and flavorful; they are healthy as can be because the ingredients are mostly fresh produce and grains and beans. My favorites sections are breakfast, curries, and one dish meals. The guides inside make it a reference and encyclopedia for my use. My only suggestion: publish it in hard cover or improve the binding. Mine is in two pieces now! Rating:  - this is a WIEGHT LOSS book NOT a vegi bookThis book is not a vegetarian cook book it is a weight loss book that takes great dishes and then removes all the fat and spice until they taste like low sodium card board. Diana Shaw authors this book as one of those naive middle aged ladies who assumes if you are a vegetarian you are on a weight loss diet. Her refusal to use the words cream, cheese (other then cottage) and butter, other than to scold the use of these ingredients, and her annoying placement of "nonfat" in front of the word yogurt made me draw a habit and a ruler over her book jacket photo. The only 2 reasons you should buy this book are A) to deprive yourself of real food in an effort to lose weight or B) to avoid having to buy spices, because she uses close to none. If you want a good veggie cookbook stick to the Moosewood series or Madhur Jaffrey or any thing other than this book.
