The highlights from this cookbook are two recipes from the "hearty soups and thick stews" section. The Autumn Vegetable Soup is so good, I can actually eat the entire pot over the course of a week and not get sick of it. And the Four-Bean Chili is the best, easiest, tastiest veggie chili recipe I've found. The pages for this recipe are so stiff from getting splattered with wet ingredients over the years. In fact, my copy of the cookbook just naturally falls open to this recipe, always begging me to make it again and again! These are the best kinds of recipes, aren't they?

A- Finally--What vegetarians really need are ENTREES! Got some interesting recipes from this book; my one complaint with Lemlin is that a lot of her recipes reply heavily on cheese and are not low-fat or necessarily healthy. I can't wait to try her recipes

not a terribly creative way of making vegetarian entrees... you basically add some form of pasta to bulk out your veggies in every dish. thoroughly disappointing.

Another great veggie cookbook from Jeanne Lemlin. This one has a risotto recipe with Gorgonzola that is great as a cook-together meal.
