Product Description

From Amazon.com

The elegant simplicity and exquisite flavor of Deborah Madison's food make her one of America's leading cooks. In Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, she offers more than great food: her book includes comprehensive information about ingredients and techniques, plus more than 800 recipes. The recipes range from dishes as familiar as Guacamole to those as distinctive as Green Lentils with Roasted Beets and Preserved Lemons, and Cashew Curry. The 124-page chapter titled "Vegetables: The Heart of the Matter" is a virtual book of culinary revelations; you could use it as a manual on buying and preparing vegetables. Madison provides equally inspired recipes and guidance for everything from grains and soy to dairy foods and desserts.

From Library Journal

Madison, whose The Greens Cookbook sold more than 300,000 copies, offers recipes that will please even nonvegetarians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Book, April 16 2008

By	Norma Lehmeierhartie (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (Hardcover)

I've been hunting for a good vegetarian cookbook for some time and Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is it! In addition to terrific recipes, this is also a how-to cookbook. As a former caterer and chef, I do know quite a bit about cooking and found that I still learned and I agreed with her on those things I already knew. Good techniques.

I'm glad the book is hardcover, because I tend to be rough on cookbooks and this will hold up. One suggestion that I do in all my cookbooks is to comment on a recipe after I make it. After all, it's not easy to remember not only if we made something, but if we liked it.

There are already a lot of **** and "delicious" written beside the recipes.

I already cook with a nice variety of vegetables, but this year decided to try any and all vegetables. Madison is my first stop for suggestions on different and interesting ways to cook the veggies. Have been very satisfied with results.

One caveat--she uses more salt than I like, so be careful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Cooking Resource, May 16 2004

By	mid-20s male (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews

I am not a vegetarian, far from it in fact. So why is it that I use this cookbook more than any other?

Simply put, because it has all the information I've needed as a rookie chef. It has comprehensive details on the huge variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans/legumes available; everything from their history to their appearance, as well as which flavorings best complement them. Attractive hand drawings illustrate the process of preparation in the case of "tricky" foods, such as artichokes.

The recipes are fantastic! Meat and bread is easy to make tasty; vegetables, fruits, and plain grains take some culinary knowledge. All of the recipes I've tried are simple in ingredients and preparation, tasty, AND light in the stomach.

Best of all is her attitude. Unlike some vegetarian authors who follow their diets for dogmatic reasons, she simply eats and makes what tastes good to her. That's why some recipes include butter as an ingredient, and her emphasis on local produce above the "organic" produce that's supposedly so much better.

Based on my experience, this is the single most important cookbook for a budding culinary expert. You will not be disappointed!!

1.0 out of 5 stars kill me now, Mar 13 2001

By	atomic tonic (boston) - See all my reviews

This cookbook is 723 pages of trainwreck. If you don't know what brussel sprouts are, or you want to know how to boil pasta, go ahead. Buy it. If you've ever stood in a kitchen before, don't bother with this book. Trust me. I was looking for a sort of Joy of Cooking without the meat and this cookbook appeared to fit that bill. Once I spent some time with it (desperately looking for recipes to make the $... I spent worth it), I found it to be almost completely useless and annoying to boot.

For example: If you are looking for a recipe involving acorn squash, you get two listings. The first listing tells you what an acorn squash is. Gee. Thanks. The second listing tells you how to bake it. "brush with olive oil and place cut side down in an inch of water and bake at 375 for 30 minutes." Great. Thanks again. If I wanted to just bake the acorn squash, I really didn't need to open a cookbook. This is one of the most infuriating cookbooks I've ever seen. It appears to be full of interesting recipes when in fact it's not--it's full of useless and general information that most people capable of turning a stove on already know....
