When Michael Milken was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 1993, he wasted no time switching from his daily egg-and-bacon-sandwich breakfasts to a low-fat, vegetarian diet. He also founded CaP CURE, the Association for the Cure of Cancer of the Prostate. Through research supported by CaP CURE, Milken learned that cutting down on fat was not enough--that soy protein could be an important missing ingredient in his diet. He duly incorporated all of the cancer-fighting ingredients into his diet, but he missed the joy of eating.
Enter Beth Ginsberg, Culinary Institute of America (CIA) graduate and natural foods chef. When Milken hired her in 1995, she turned his medicinal soy drinks into tasty, healthy fruit smoothies, his tofu-spread sandwiches into Vegetable Reubens--with tempeh bacon! It became clear that a healthy, cancer-fighting diet need not mean an end to culinary pleasure. In the beautifully photographed The Taste for Living Cookbook, Ginsberg collects more than 75 of Milken's favorite dishes, from Tofu Dog Casserole with a Pretzel Crust to Greek Spinach Pie in a Phyllo Nest to Devil's "Fool" Cake with Cocoa Frosting. Colorful icons next to each recipe let you know how long a dish will take to prepare--many are under an hour from kitchen to table. Nutritional details are given at the end of each recipe, and Ginsberg notes when a substitution can be made (say, low-fat turkey in place of tempeh in a sandwich). Proceeds from the sales of The Taste for Living Cookbook will go to further CaP CURE's research--resulting, one hopes, in even more delicious, healthful meals from chef Ginsberg. --Rebecca A. Staffel

If only I'd read the customer reviews more thoroughly. . . .......2007-09-08
I bought what turned out to be a beautifully photographed, almost coffee table-like book . . . but not only do I have a hard enough time finding exotic ingredients where I live but I surely don't have the time to do the recipes Mr. Milken's personal chef turns out every night. If only I'd read a little further in my frenzy to find out everything I could about prostate cancer! My husband is newly diagnosed with the disease and we're attempting to turn our diets in a more healthy direction but it still has to be realistic cooking or it just won't happen at the end of a long work day. The best cookbook I've found out there is "Eat to Beat PC Cookbook" by David Ricketts. I need a cookbook I can really use for us to make this battle.
Good Stuff.......2002-12-15
The book presents recipes attractively. I've tried a few and they were easier and better than I expected, given the somewhat unusual ingredients for familiar foods. The book goes astray, to some degree, in my opinion, because it works too hard at recreating unhealthy high fat foods with low-fat, high-soy, equivalents. Better to just present vegetarian recipees that don't try to seem like something else.
a treat for the eyes.......2002-01-30
what i loved most about this book is the 'photojournalist'
format...just looking at the photographs and the tasty,
colorful food motivated me...interesting
Great for those who are lactose intolerant.......2001-04-19
I purchased this book because it contained recipes like flan that didn't require any dairy products. It also provides some great tips for substituting out ingredients like cream and other milk products without sacrificing texture and taste.
At first, I was a bit concerned that most of the recipes in the book called for ingredients that I had never heard of, but even the small health-food section of my local grocery store had almost everything that I needed.
If I Were A Rich Man..........2001-02-25
The taste For Living Cookbook Mike Milken's Favorite Recipes For Fighting Cancer is a nicely photographed book. The recipes are basic health food fare. Cut down on fat,avoid meat, eat lots of veggies and soy. If I was a wealthy man I would have a professional chef move into my home and cook these complicated meals im my professional kitchen. I would also go to a medition center in Massachusetts "based on Ayurveda tradition" and I would "invite a doctor trained in both Western and Ayurveda medicine to move into...our house for a few months" I don't mean to be cynical but I have neither the time or money to follow this books recipes. I did not find this book very helpful .

The first Moosewood Cookbook--loved for its cozy, comforting food--mused oil, eggs, and dairy products so lavishly that it was extensively revised in 1992 to fit our changing diet. Now, the Moosewood Collective takes an even more extreme step: recipes in
Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites are so intentionally healthful that they put the word right on the cover of this chubby book filled with lean recipes (many dishes get the fat down to a modest 16-17% of their total calories). Still, the 280-plus recipes offer the bold, pan-ethnic flavors that have won the Moosewood Collective cookbooks so many fans.
Book Description
This is the low-fat book cooks who care about wholesome, vegetarian-inspired food have been waiting for. Each of the more than 280 recipes are as delicious and trustworthy as those in the Moosewood Collective's previous books, and vibrant flavors and generous portions are still a hallmark of every dish. Because the Collective's primary goal is always to make great tasting food they resisted the notion of doing a low-fat book until they were convinced they could make low-fat dishes as flavor-packed as their regular favorites. "We've mostly been interested in gourmet cuisine at Moosewood Restaurant, not deprivation diet food," say the authors. "So, it's a happy surprise that the dishes we created for this cookbook don't come off as merely healthful diet foods. The food is exciting, ethnically diverse, and satisfyingly delicious. Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites is as much a celebration of the pleasures of eating as it is about low-fat cooking."
In Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites the Collective emphasizes a few changes in basic cooking techniques to apply to everyday recipes and they offer tips and ideas for sustaining a low-fat lifestyle. They bake rather than fry, replace high-fat ingredients with healthy substitutes (no artificial ingredients allowed!), and use butter and oil very moderately. What is lost in fat is gained in bold, intense flavors. "When fashioning low-fat recipes, taking a nip here, a tuck there, we sometimes need to add a little embroidery, an embellishment such as extra herbs, spices, fruit or vegetable purée, vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, dried mushrooms, miso, soy sauce, or garlic," explain the cooks at Moosewood Restaurant. "Our gingerbread gets extra flavor and moisture from chunks of pear rather than from butter and egg yolks. Two small calamata olives enliven the Caesar Salad Dressing. A little sauerkraut adds interest to an Italian mushroom stew."
Fat will not be missed in mouthwatering recipes like Guacamole with Asparagus, Chinese Orzo Vegetable Salad, Spring Vegetable Paella, Indian Potato Pancakes, and Creamy Dairyless Rice Pudding. Along with those creative dishes, one of the most appealing parts of Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites is finding low-fat variations on familiar favorites such as Macaroni and Cheese, Shephard's Pie, and Dark Chocolate Pudding. An added bonus is that the Moosewood Collective has made sure that the ingredients used in the recipes throughout the book are very accessible--easily found in most well-stocked supermarkets.
In the nutritional, glossary, and guide sections of Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites the Collective gives explanations of nutritional terms, instructions for how to glean the information you need from nutrition labels, a brief overview of vitamins and minerals, and guides to ingredients and cooking techniques. These three important sections, combined with the deliciously appetizing recipes, are a wealth of encouragement for low-fat eating and living a healthy lifestyle. The fourteen chapters range from savory soups and main course salads to creative side dishes and aromatic Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes. With chapters which range from healthy breakfasts and lunch foods to a collection of fish recipes and more than twenty truly delectable desserts, Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites is sure to set the kitchen standard not only for health-conscious cooks, but also for those who have come to rely on the Moosewood Collective's easy, earthy approach to cooking.
Customer Reviews:
My favorite from Moosewood!.......2007-09-24
The recipes in "Low-Fat Favorites" aren't time-consuming to prepare like the classic Moosewood recipes, making them more weeknight friendly. There are many "tricks" to make a dish seem creamy or cheesy without adding any cream or cheese -- all satisfaction, no fat!
I made Roasted Vegetables Caribbean Style for a potluck the other night to rave reviews. It was easy to prepare and SO good (page 227).
The "Menu Suggestions" feature and the indication of time the recipe takes to prepare are great for planning family dinners or dinner parties, and are included with each recipe.
One of the best.......2007-08-21
This is one of my favourite vegetarian cookbooks. I've had this book for 10 years and have probably used it more than any other book I own.
I've had a high success rate with the recipes (I've made about 50 of them) and have only had a couple of disappointments. The menu suggestions are very helpful and make it easy to plan a more elaborate meal. Numerous times I have served meals from this book to meat-eater friends and the food has always been very well received.
Many of the recipes are quick to prepare and are suitable for everyday. Some of my favourites are: Middle Eastern Chickpeas with Spinach, Pasta with Lentils and Artichoke Hearts, Mushroom and Spinach Fritatta, Pasta with Chickpeas, Tabouli, and Thai Vegetable Curry.
Even satisfies a meat-eater!.......2007-08-21
Everything I have cooked from the book has been exceptional. And most recipies are quite easy as well. I now always turn to this cookbook first when planning dinner, because I know it will be delicious!! Even my meat-eating boyfriend thinks all the meals from this book are fabulous!
You really can't go wrong with this one.
Yummy.......2007-07-22
I had the opportunity to eat at Moosewood recently and picked up the book shortly after. I'm not a vegetarian and was skeptical about recreating the lasagne recipe. Wow; it turned out great! Looking forward to trying more recipes. The only reason this book doesn't get a 5 is because it's difficult to hold the pages open when cooking; it would do better as a spiral binding.
Amazing!.......2007-06-25
This is the cookbook that first got me interested in cooking. I love the Moosewood restaurant and I love this cookbook. I own other Moosewood cookbooks and this is my favorite! The best cookbook ever!

Best vegetable cookbook I've ever seen!.......2001-05-10
I wanted to send this cookbook to all of my sisters and sisters in law for Mother's Day and find here ... This is the best vegetable cookbook I've ever seen, with recipes categorized into groups according to the parts of the world that they come from... eastern Europe, western Europe, Italy, the Middle East, India, the Far East, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Every dish I've made has turned out to be absolutely delicious!
It's not only for the vegetarian, these recipes are great for main and side dishes, buffets, potlucks, and appeal to people with all tastes and backgrounds. I've never made a dish from this book where I haven't been asked for the recipe... A+
this is a great book!.......2000-06-15
This is the best cookbook I have ever used. I never use any other cookbooks anymore! All of the meals are really easy to make, cost effective and totally delicious with a LOT of flavor, which is sometimes unusual for vegitarian meals. I think everyone, even those not vegitarian, should have this book!

Book Description
In The Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook, Mike Milken has once again commissioned chef Beth Ginsberg to transform more than 100 global favorites-- including quiche Lorraine, Spaghetti Bolognese, fajitas and crme brulee, into practically fat-free recipes loaded with cancer-fighting nutrients and soy protein. These low-fat dishes help fight heart disease too.
The ink was barely dry on the first Taste for Living Cookbook (CaP CURE, 1998), when chef/author Beth Ginsberg began perfecting the new recipes for her second collaboration with philanthropist and financier Mike Milken. The Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook: Mike Milken's Favorite Recipes for Fighting Cancer and Heart Disease (CaP CURE, October 1999, distributed by Time-Life) explores the vibrant international flavors that have become so much a part of American cooking today.
Ginsberg, a Culinary Institute of America graduate and natural foods chef, is a master at transforming high-fat classics such as spaghetti Bolognese, quiche Lorraine and egg rolls into soy-rich fare that meets the high standards for healthfulness and flavor that Mike requested when she became his personal and corporate chef.
"Don't give up the dishes and the flavors you love," encourages Ginsberg. "Change the ingredients. Adapt your cooking methods. You dont need lots of fat for food to taste great."
When Mike Milken was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 1993, he quickly swore off the high-fat fare that he had eaten most of his life. He also founded CaP CURE, the Association for the Cure of Cancer of the Prostate. Working with some of the nation's top cancer researchers, he recognized the vital importance of cutting fat and increasing the consumption of soy protein to 40 grams daily--not an easy feat for a man who used to eat a fried-egg-and-bacon sandwich every morning.
L.A. chef/ restaurateur Beth Ginsberg convinced him that she could create healthy versions of his favorite dishes. Through the Taste for Living cookbooks, Mike and Beth share these great recipes with people who love to eat and people who want to lower their risk of cancer and heart disease through a healthy diet.
The more than 100 recipes in The Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook are all easy to follow, and each is accompanied by a complete nutritional analysis. Colorful icons tell the cook how long it takes to prepare a recipe from start to finish. Most are well under one hour.
The all-new Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook is organized into 14 complete menus, each featuring the cuisine of a particular country or region. Youll find some of the best known dishes from the French, Italian and Chinese repertoire. Youll be tempted by the aromatic flavors of the Indian, Caribbean, Mexican and American offerings. Individual menus offer appetizers, main course options and scrumptious (and wonderfully healthful) desserts.
As a bonus, the final section focuses on Mike's love for American junk food. From corn dogs to chocolate cupcakes, doughnuts to deep-dish pizza, you'll find recipes for the foods you thought were forbidden in a healthy diet. Ginsberg has not only taken the fat out of these notorious bad-guys of the American menu, she's enriched their nutrition profiles with soy protein, added fiber, vitamins and crucial micronutrients.
The Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook doesn't rely on exotic, hard-to-find ingredients to produce flavorful international food. Everything you need--from tofu, tempeh and tamari soy sauce to assorted grains, beans and produce--is available at large supermarkets or natural food stores nationwide. A special section at the back, "The Healthy World Pantry" provides additional information about all the ingredients.
More than a collection of recipes, The Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook presents up-to-date nutrition facts in the battle against cancer and heart disease. Sidebars look at different foods currently being studied for their potential roles fighting these chronic diseases. Special contributors David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and Dean Ornish, M.D., Director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, CA, provide the scientific basis for why this diet works.
Scores of luscious full-color photographs from award-winning Burke-Triolo Studios in Los Angeles prove that low-fat, healthy food can and does look absolutely delicious.
CaP CURE, the Association for the Cure of Cancer of the Prostate, located in Santa Monica, California, is a nonprofit public charity that rapidly identifies and funds promising prostate cancer research. CaP CURE scientists have developed revolutionary vaccines, nutritional therapies and other treatments that give hope to prostate cancer patients. CaP CURE-supported researchers are currently conducting more than 70 human clinical trials of various therapies. The organization also works to raise public awareness of the role that diet plays in reducing the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. All profits from The Taste for Living World Cookbook go to further CaP CURE's research.
From cacciatore to sukiyaki to enchiladas, and from tiramis to banana pudding, The Taste for Living WORLD Cookbook is for anyone who cares about enjoying good flavor and good health.
Customer Reviews:
Allergies Lead Me to Soy.......2001-10-24
At the recommendation of my grandmother, I purchased this book for help in preparing recipes prepared with soy. I was diagnosed with many allergies and I can no longer eat dairy products, corn, mushrooms, etc. (that's only the beginning, the list goes on!). I knew about tofu but I didn't know what to do with it. Using this book as a guide, I prepared a spinach lasagne following the ingredience for spinach ravoli (pg. 35). It was delicious, if I don't say so myself! I would definitely recommend this cookbook. I like using it as a guide to help with new ideas in food preparation. Bona Petite!
Food-Snob Friends.......2000-08-11
I loved this book. I've been a vegetarian for years, and have had to live with the scorn of my food-snob friends, many of whom wouldn't come to my house for dinner parties. So I cooked a feast of Ginsberg's recipes and impressed them all-finally. The Chinese food is especially tasty, although the biscotti was terrific. I brought it to work and everyone ate it up.
Do not waste your money.......2000-02-21
The recipes are time intensive and many are tasteless. Health food does not deservice the bad rap.
Another beautiful cookbook.......1999-10-02
I enjoyed the Taste for Living Cookbook so much, I am thrilled that Beth Ginsberg continued to share her creativity in the kitchen in this new book. The WORLD cookbook contains all my favorite Italian, Chinese and Mexican recipes, re-invented with soy protein-- something I know will contribute to a long life for me and my family. And who would have thought we could still enjoy the all-American Chicago deep-dish pizza and Philly cheese steak without sacrificing health?! I have learned so much! Looking forward to Book 3.

Canýt Believe Itýs Tofu!...............2002-06-11
.......I prize this cookbook because it allows me to live a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing my love of great cooking and eating. Tofu can be introduced into almost any meal and this cookbook proves it. The trick is in the diverse textures in which tofu may be purchased. Firm tofu is great in a stir-fry, medium tofu works well in ground meat and soft tofu blends wonderfully into many dessert recipes. You get all the benefits of introducing soy protein into your diet, and barely notice the tofu because other flavors aren't sacrificed.
There are 120 recipes in this cookbook divided into chapters such as: Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch; Appetizers, Dips, Spreads and Sauces; Soups and Salads; Vegetables and Side Dishes; Fish and Meat Main Dishes; and Desserts. Each recipe also includes a nutritional analysis. Please note that this is not a diet cookbook. Some of the desserts are low-fat but many are also quite fattening!
Some recipes I've tried and can recommend: Spanish Eggplant, Baked Potato Croquettes, Beans, Lentils and Tofu in a Spicy Tomato Sauce, Low-Fat Turkey Burgers, and Lemon Squares. Overall this cookbook was a pleasant surprise and I can recommend it to anyone looking to introduce soy into their diet!

Add zest and variety to any health conscious meal!.......2001-03-03
In Tofu Mania, the author states her goal: "to demystify tofu and help you make it an everyday healthy ingredient in your daily cooking." Tofu Mania presents 120 recipes suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, appetizers, or desserts. Recipes are simple, easy to make, and delicious. No muss, no fuss. Best of all, each one comes complete with full nutritional analysis including calorie count, fat and fiber gram count and vitamins per serving. Not only for strict vegetarians, traditional meat recipes are included to demonstrate tofu's versatility, such as low fat chicken or turkey burger or stuffed chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce. Other easy vegetarian entrees include Beans, Lentils and Tofu in Spicy Tomato Sauce, my personal favorite. Effortless variations, such as Meatless Tofu Chili are frequently suggested at the end of a recipe. Is there a place for tofu in your life? Tofu Mania is convincing to tofu novices. If not, classic desserts like Carrot Cake and Fresh Berry Clafoutis will help persuade the most reluctant fan. Other homey, comfort foods that are nutritious, delicious and easy are Cornbread Pudding, French-Style Polenta (or Grenocchis Grenoblois) and Mango Couscous or Mushroom Tofu Medley.
Many simple techniques for cooking and serving tofu are demonstrated. In salads, dressings, soups, sauces, breads, desserts and entrees, in addition to stir fries, vegetable side dishes, there are many ways to get to know the benefits of tofu incorporated into your diet.
Tofu Mania adds zest and variety to the education of tofu eaters everywhere and will persuade the timid to give it a try...

Vegan Family Favorites.......2007-10-01
I am a newbie to Veganism.
This book has been a great help for me to feed myself and my family.
Everything Is Good.......2007-02-12
I've made several of the recipes in this book and I haven't found one yet that I don't like. In particular, my family and I love the Veggies and Dumplings. It has become a regular feature on our table.
A little disappointing..........2006-08-30
I found this book a little disappointing. There are a lot of recipes in this book that call for vegan cheese. My kids don't like vegan cheese. I'm trying to find more creative recipes that do not depend on meat substitutes. One funny thing, there is actually a recipe for a whole carrot placed on a hot dog bun as a substitute hot dog! That is what people who make fun of vegetarians imagine we are feeding our kids every night! I would recommend "Vegan with a Vegeance" over this book.
quick and easy family meals.......2006-05-29
For a busy parent wanting to make vegan meals, this book can't be beat. The recipes are ultra quick and easy and the ingredients can be found in most supermarkets. I've tried the Portobello Mushroom Sandwich, Red Lentil Soup, Carrot-Potato Pancakes, Giant Oatmeal Cookies, Sweet Potato Curry, Winter Vegetable Chowder, and Granola. Every recipe worked and my family liked them all.
It's obvious these are real recipes, used by real families. This is not gourmet cooking but practical meals that you can make in a hurry and that your kids will eat.
Simple Vegan Cooking!.......2006-04-28
Don't miss out on this simple vegan cookbook. Even if you have cookbooks lined up in your kitchen this one is a must have! The recipes are simple and the ingredients are common ones that you have in your pantry.
So far I have made Blueberry Tapioca Pudding which is delicately sweetened (I used Agave Nectar) and has the antioxidant power of Blueberry and the creamy tapioca taste to savour. A main dish that you will keep making is the Zuchinni Eggplant Lasagne that is easy and quick to serve family and friends. This is a great dish to get the kids to eat their veggies! For desert the vegan butter tarts are the best and putting them on a tray with the chocolate peanut butter dipped pretzels with simply WOW your famiy again! Don't forget breakfast fare as there is plent of it. Sticky Banana loaf is sweet and moist and served with a scoop of Vanilla Rice Dream it is again another great desert treat! This is absolutely a Vegan cookbook you do not want to miss out on and just like the title says these are "receipes even your kids will love"!

Meatless Burgers: Over 50 Quick & Easy Recipes for America's Favorite Food.......2007-01-10
This book came highly recommended to me. I have a daughter and grand-daughter that are vegetarians so I purchased the book. But since they have not come to visit me, I have not had occasion to use any of the recipes. However, as I said the book came highly recommened to me.
Varied and simple recipies.......2005-12-11
If you like meatless burgers this book will show you how to make ones as good as the ones in the store, but that are significantly cheaper. The recipes are easy and quick. Nutrition information is included. The are a variety of recipes for using soy, wheat gluten, beans, grains, or vegetables to make burgers. If you have a problem with a particular ingredient you will find at least a few recipes that avoid using that ingredient. Included are recipes for side dishes. It is not high cuisine, but the recipes in this book are satisfying, tasty, easy and cheap.
Soy, soy, soy.......2002-09-19
Of the 49 burger recipes in this book, only 12 are soy-free. For those of us with soy allergy, and it tends to be a bad one, this is a poor ratio. It would have been helpful if the book description had included some information about this balance. It's about time the "health food" machine started giving us allergics a little consideration!

Great cookbook for those wanting to eat more veggies.......2007-09-06
My wife & I are not vegetarian (and never will be), but we want to eat better so we have been looking for a good vegetarian cookbook to get some fresh ideas for using the produce we harvest from our garden. We originally bought a highly rated vegan cookbook online and hated it. So, we returned it and spent an hour at Barnes & Noble looking through vegetarian cookbooks. This one has a lot of easy recipes that can be prepared with ingredients most people are familiar with. If you're a die-hard vegan this cookbook is not for you. If you're just looking to eat more vegetables I would definitely recommend it.
A Decent Set of Recipes.......2007-04-09
This book presents itself in the introduction not as a cookbook for a vegetarian diet, but a guide for people who are trying to eat more meatless dishes. That seems about right.
There are some good recipes to be found - mainly in the Soups/Stews and Quick Dinners sections. There are lots of pastas and frittatas (plenty of eggs and milk make this book very ovo-lactovegetarian) and a whole section for Main Dish Salads.

The bland-looking cover of Claire's Classic American Vegetarian Cooking conceals a world of food as appealingly creative as it is classic, offered in 225 dishes full of bold flavors and inspired combinations. And its definition of American cooking happily includes a melting pot of ethnic dishes. The recipes range from a truly All-American Fresh Fruit Cobbler to authentic, crusty, cheese-filled Sicilian Rice Balls, and fiery Thai Vegetable Soup to Greek Lima Beans, Artichoke Hearts, and Scallions with Orzo, Feta Cheese and Spinach. (You will cook and consume this aromatic, dill-and-garlic seasoned sauté faster than you can repeat its name.) Reflecting Criscuolo's Italian heritage, her Riso E Fagioli is lovingly long-cooked and includes broken spaghetti.
For exciting twists on familiar classics, look for polenta with fresh corn and chopped tomato studding the steaming cornmeal, and Sweet and White Potato Burritos topped with exquisitely creamy, gently fiery Avocado-Jalapeño Sauce. Criscuolo devises unexpected ideas for using veggie burgers. For Chicken-Fried Veggie Burgers, they are in dredged in flour and pan-crisped, then bathed in properly creamy Sawmill Gravy. Her Vegetable Burger au Poivre is elegantly imbued with Cognac, while tangy sauerbraten-style burgers are served on bed of noodles and topped by the properly sweet-tart sauce made with gingersnaps and German spices that should accompany this dish. Soy foods, from tofu and soy milk to sausage and other meat alternatives, are used liberally in dishes as simple as Beet and Tofu Salad with tangy balsamic vinegar dressing and as sophisticated as sausage-studded, saffron-gold Garden Paella, bright with 10 vegetables. (This book includes generally outstanding vegan food, though some may object to its generous use of margarine.) Vegetarians will find new pleasures in this exceptional collection of recipes, and lovers of Italian cooking will be particularly well-rewarded. --Dana Jacobi

Not what I had hoped.......2007-02-10
I've had this cookbook for quite some time - looks like an older edition than is sold here. I had never really used it, but recently found some tasty recipes that I wanted to make. I have to say I was rather disappointed by the end result of all three recipes I made last week. They lacked real flavor and, on top of it all, were really labor intensive. Not meals you'd want to make after a workday. I feel that I find so many more interesting vegetarian recipes elsewhere.
Wow!.......2001-07-21
I bought this book as a gift for my wife and wow, we love it. The recipes for the soups are fantastic, easy to follow, and delicious! The split pea recipe is particularly good (even if we do tend to throw a smoked ham shank into it)! One word of caution, however, the soup recipes make a LOT of soup. If you are only cooking for 1-2 people, you might consider in halfing the recipe.
A great cookbook.......2001-03-18
This cookbook serves as a continuation of the wonderful recipes from the Claire's Corner Copia Cookbook. Claire presents delicious and fairly simple recipes which use lots of fresh vegetables (as well as whole grains and beans). The recipes are health-conscious, but use dairy and eggs where appropriate for flavor. The finished products always bring back fond memories of eating at Claire's Corner Copia in New Haven, Connecticut (FYI--which is certified kosher by the local Young Israel rabbi Michael Whitman). Try the pumpkin pie recipe (made with tofu)--delicious!
