Better Than Peanut Butter & Jelly: Quick Vegetarian Meals Your Kids Will Love Review

Better Than Peanut Butter and Jelly: Quick Vegetarian Meals Your Kids Will Love
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As an adult I have been delivered from the Midwestern home of my childhood (meat and potatoes, cream of mushroom soup casseroles, ice cream every night before bed) to the beautiful land of Oregon where outdoor markets and co-op shopping are plentiful. Over the past ten years I have been exploring vegetarian options and a healthier lifestyle but it can be difficult to get beyond some of the complex recipes, expensive ingredients or bizarre taste combinations that seem to frequent vegetarian cookbooks and co-op shelves.
This wonderful book is geared to suit children, who can be notoriously picky eaters, but it also works well on an adult level. It is a great introduction to quick, simple vegetarian meals that introduce a few basic items without overwhelming the taste buds or the wallet. For both adults and children it is possible to move into a healthier lifestyle gradually, one recipe at a time, one meal per week...when we can sit down as a family and each find something new that we like on our plates then I think we become much more open to making healthy choices habitual.
The book also includes some great recipes for slumber parties, Halloween parties and many ideas for re-vamping typical kid foods (hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, brownies) into healthier options....

Delicious, Healthy And Easy - Tom's Vegetarian Cookbook: Easy Yummy And Nutritional Vegan Recipes Review

This was one of the worst cookbooks I have ever seen. There was no forewarning that measurements were not American standards (e.g. one gill of milk). Also the recipes were laden with fatty ingredients such as cream and copious amounts of butter. But perhaps the worst thing about this book was that there was no table of contents and no index! There is no way to quickly look up anything!

I have been refering to this book since I was in my teens and a total novice at cooking. It is a book par excellence. The recipes come out perfectly . This book has been my best friend in the kitchen for last 10 years. In fact I would love to translate it into marathi which is my mother tongue so that more women can benifit from it. Thank you very much Tarlaji.

Great Good Desserts Naturally: Secrets of Sensational Sin-Free Sweets Review

Great Good Desserts Naturally: Secrets of Sensational Sin-Free Sweets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased a copy of Great Good Desserts Naturally! by Fran Costigan. I am a strict vegetarian and try to cook and bake using only natural ingredients. This book has great recipes that taste as if they have been made the traditional way with eggs, butter, and sugar. I have made the double fudge brownies with great success, and my skeptical husband even thought they were excellent. I also made the cornbread recipe, which is moister than any of the traditional recipes I have made. This recipe can be turned into cornmeal pancakes or corn muffins as well.
In the book, the author gives several tips about whole food ingredients as well as how to subsitute traditional ingredients with natural alternatives. She discusses appropriate baking utensils and techniques that make this book suitable for novice bakers in addition to experienced ones. She also tells how to modify recipes (e.g. making cupcakes from a cake recipe), and she provides information on how to present the desserts (frosting ideas for cakes, sauce ideas, fillings for cookies). The book contains recipes for cakes, frostings, cookies, frozen desserts, sauces, and more. I would recommend it as an easy way to have healthier snacks and sweets in your diet.

Vefa Alexiadou has done it again. I purchased this book while in Greece after seeing her on a very popular morning show. I was not disappointed. I had purchased other books from her and had always been pleased. Greek pasteries are amongst the most difficult to make yet Vefa makes it not only easy but enjoyable. The photos in the book are wonderful. Upon first glance I wanted to make everything! For those of you who want to try traditional Greek cooking, the way it is done in Greece, then this is the book for you.

This is one of the most complete books of traditional Greek desserts ever published. It includes a full range of breads, cakes, cookies, confections, and preserves as well as the famous Greek spoon-sweets and honey-syrup pastries. Many of these 250 heirloom recipes were handed down from the author's family, natives of the fabled city of Constantinople.
