I'm surprised to see reviewers having difficulty with the recipes turning out - that has not been my experience with this book at all. I've loved everything out of it - but that's because despite the subtitle "The definitive encyclopedia of healthy vegetarian food" it is not, really. I mean, it's full of veggies and anything made at home is healthier than eating out (most likely) but the amount of calories packed into most of these recipes is outrageous. I almost always have to scale back on the amount of cheese and/or oils. That said, they are guaranteed delicious!

There is a good amount of space in the front of the book devoted to describing and explaining the different vegetable groups which is well-written and interesting.

This is the same book as The Complete Encyclopedia of Vegetables & Vegetarian Cooking which is in hardcover. ISBN: 1901289036

This book is wonderful, not only because of the tasty recipes but for the great guide through the vegetal kingdom. Really good.

The first part of the book is a description of different kinds of vegetables, or what we commonly think of as vegetables (eg. peppers are really a fruit). A bunch of nice info in there - Did you know that there was a Greater Yam weighing in at 137 pounds! (That weighs more than my college daughter).

The rest of the book is pretty standard cookbook: appetizers, soups, main courses, deserts, etc.

The book is culturally well rounded (there are a few South American, African, Mid-eastern and Asian recipes) and the array is widespread for taste ideas.

There are plenty of clear colorful photos, which includes some step-wise photos. Ingredient lists and details seem to be informational and instructive. A nice addition to any vegetarian bookshelf.

One of my favorite cookbooks of all time. I bought it fresh out of college and have worn it out during my adult life. The recipes are delicious and sophisticated.

Some of the recipes are decent!! Some require like every ingredient known to man...

Haven't made anything out of this book yet, but I found the guide in to different vegetables and ways to use them helpful.

I have not been able to do any recipe of this book. Not a single recipe have been successful, but I keep trying.

I've never made a recipe from this book that wasn't incredibly tasty.
