Lorna Sass' Complete Vegetarian Kitchen: Where Good Flavors and Good Health Meet
This is a great book and a must-have for anyone who cooks with whole grains. The ingredients needed for most recipes are simple and easy-to-find. Most important, though, is that the dishes that I have made using this book are delicious!
Love this book!
I am neither vegan nor vegetarian, but was looking for some way to add healthy real food variety to my diet. I bought this book because all the receipes sound so delicious, and it lived up to my first impression! I especially like the encyclopedia of ingredients and the instruction tables for beans & grains. In addition to the wonderful flavor varieties in the recipes, I continually reference this book when I'm looking to make up my own recipes too. I'm also just about to buy my first pressure cooker because as wonderful as the recipes are, I want to make them quicker! Highly recommended.
Reference and Recipes - A good place to start
The beginning of this book provides ideas on stocking a healthy pantry and kitchen. It offers introductory information on the basics of pressure cooking, wok cookery, and steaming. At the back it offers an ingredient glossary with useful explanations (such as which potatoes to use when baking, pressure cooking or steaming) and definition of foods you may be unfamiliar with, like pulses. In the middle are some very sound standard vegetarian recipes. Also included are Measurement and Cooking Time Charts for steaming, stove top cooking, pressure cooking - a feature I particularly appreciate. There is even a chart on growing sprouts. This would be a good book to give a young person who is just starting out. May I also suggest 'Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure' by Lorna Sass. Don't be afraid - pressure cookers aren't what they used to be. They are quite safe, easy to use and cook in way less time. I would hate to be without mine. Bon Appetite!
