Essential Vegetarian Cookbook

Author: Diana Shaw

The author of Almost Vegetarian presents the one book that full-time and part-time vegetarians need on their shelves—a book that contains more than 600 contemporary low-fat recipes and invaluable nutritional and culinary information about the vegetarian way of life. 500 line drawings.

Publishers Weekly

This jam-packed compendium tries to be all things to all vegetarians. It succeeds as a valuable collection of recipes, even though the nutritional information is rather run-of-the-mill and poorly presented. Each recipe includes calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat, cholesterol and sodium counts, but Shaw (Almost Vegetarian) doesn't classify the dishes according to nutritional balance, despite a lengthy introduction documenting the pitfalls of some types of vegetarian diets, e.g., lacto-ovo and vegan. The recipes, however, are creative and well presented, offering many suggestions for personalized wrinkles and substitutes (e.g., cilantro and cumin for basil and oregano in pasta sauces). A section on breakfast offers traditional favoritesoatmeal, for examplealong with several suggested variations (e.g., cook it with fruit juice), as well as more esoteric treats, such as Pumpkin Waffles. There are plenty of innovative vegetable dishes, such as Spicy Spinach Nuggets with Cooling Chive Sauce, and ethnic favorites, for example, Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce. From soups (Barley Soup with Zucchini) to "one-dish dinners" (Potato-Fennel Stew with Mixed Beans and Tofu) and tasty pasta sauces (Three-Mushroom Sauce), Shaw offers much to prod the appetites and imaginations of dedicated cooks.

Library Journal

This big new book by the author of Almost Vegetarian (LJ 9/15/94) offers more than 600 light, fresh recipes, including lots of variations ("What To Add and When To Add It"), along with information on ingredients ("Curious Cooks Want To Know..."), techniques ("Harried Cooks Need To Know..."), nutrition, and other culinary matters. Shaw has a dry sense of humor, and she obviously loves food (unlike some authors of low-fat cookbooks, who seem to be afraid of it). Both a cookbook and a reference, this is indeed an essential purchase for most collections.
