I’ve had a copy of this book since 1993 and it is one I constantly turn to for specific recipes or just inspiration. when friends go veg, this is one I always suggest or loan!

this is the first vegetarian cook book i ever owned-- my mom got it for me when i was about 14. i still give it as a gift to new vegetarians and i still make the veggie rice burgers and the spinach artichoke dip.

I love this cookbook! It was my first vegetarian cookbook. Thirty plus years later I am still using it! It has tasty and easy to cook recipes. I just saw she has a new cookbook! I can’t wait to get it and try new recipes!

Lots of great vegetarian recipes in this book! We've made a few things from the book, not a lot, and they were all good. Our favorite recipe, was Mushroom Barley Burgers.

this is another nostalgia book...I had it when I was first going veg and I recently got it from Amazon marketplace because I remembered it fondly.
I don't think I've made anything out of it yet except some blueberry muffins (with all whole wheat flour and honey) which turned out very yum.
There isn't anything terrible nouveaux in here, but the recipes are solid and mostly breakfast-y (with a bit of brunch and lunch thrown in)

I use this cookbook as a reference almost as much as I use the Fanny Farmer cookbook. Tons of great recipes, not overly complicated, and also good basic recipes. Everyone should have a copy on their cookbook shelf.

This is one of my most favorite cookbooks of all time from the Horn of the Moon Cafe in Montpelier, VT. The cafe is no longer in existence, but when it was, it was a warm, inviting place with awesome smells, and delicious food!

my old copy was falling apart, stained and battered from 15 years of use, so my boyfriend bought me a new copy! He'll eat anything!
