The new McDougall cookbook 11 reviews
Mary A McDougall
Trillium Health Products, 1992
Good stuff!
McDougall rocks! I think Dr. McDougall has the answers to our health problems and reading all of his books, even the ones that are out of print or hard to find is so worth the effort. If you want to see your blood pressure go down, your cholesterol drop and your aches and pains go away - you've got nothing to lose by giving his program a try. You quickly become accustomed to a change in your ...

Salad People And More Real Recipes: A New Cookbook for Preschoolers & Up14 reviews
Mollie Katzen
Tricycle Press, 2005
Great recipes, fun activities for kids
This book has some fantastic recipes, and is lots of fun to use with kids. My daughter is a little too young to follow the instructions herself (2.5), but we still had fun making the recipes together. She is much more willing to try something she helped to prepare.

Food For Life: How the New Four Food Groups Can Save Your Life12 reviews
Neal Md Barnard
Harmony, 1993
I buy used copies of this book for my unhealthy family
I have purchased over a dozen copies of this book for my family and friends, and finally browsed the reviews today and was shocked to see any negative feedback. So for those considering the book, remember the negative reviews were written by meat-lovers that in no way plan to give it up.
I've read at least twenty or so nutrition books and this is my favorite of them all. It's simple to read, ...

Fields of Greens : New Vegetarian Recipes From the Celebrated Greens Restaurant9 reviews
Annie Somerville
Bantam, 1993
Stellar soups
I don't use much of this cookbook, although it might all be good. I'm recommending it on the basis of the soups, some of which are spectacular. Soups were not in my repertory prior to this book and "The Greens", as recipes frequently turned out flavorless. However,I've made a soup every week or two - using one of these two books - every since "discovery" of them 5 years ago. They might not be ...

The Complete Vegetarian Cuisine: Revised and updated with 70 new recipes9 reviews
Rose Elliot
Pantheon, 1996
Yummylicious!!!
I love this book. My favorite recipe is for potato leek soup. It is so yummy and it is low fat which is surprising since it doesn't taste like it is. I looked at a lot of other books for that recipe and they were kind of deadly (so much fat!). This book is beautifully illustrated. In addition to the many recipes that range from main dishes to deserts it contains sections describing ...

Regina's Vegetarian Table: Your Invitation to Flavor, Freshness, and Health8 reviews
Regina Campbell
Prima Lifestyles, 2002
Take it from Chris, that guy next to Regina
This is from Chris, the sometimes sous chef/helper/foil for Regina on her TV series. This cookbook isn't just for vegetarians (I'm not one). It's for anyone who likes good food. If you are an omnivore, this is the perfect book to provide great meals many times every week. You won't miss a thing. If you're a vegan, just substitute non-dairy alternatives. It can move you into new cuisines ...

The New Becoming Vegetarian: The Essential Guide to a Healthy Vegetarian Diet29 reviews
Healthy Living Publications, 2003
highly recommended
This book is extremely comprehensive. It is the first book about becoming vegetarian that I have read but I am completely satisfied that it covers all the requirements of a vegetarian diet. I would also recommend this book to non-vegetarians, particularly those seeking to reduce meat intake and increase nutrition from plant foods.

The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook40 reviews

Book Publishing Company (TN), 1988
Eureka, I found it.....
Some 20 years ago, I was a vegan for a couple of years and absolutely loved this cookbook. Well, my youngest daughter, aged almost-16, recently became a vegetarian. I have pulled out my favorite vegetarian cookbooks, which I had saved, and was horrified to not be able to find The Farm's cookbook. I didn't think I'd ever be able to find it to purchase again. I have very fond memories of that ...

The New Oxford Book of Food Plants3 reviews
J. G. Vaughan, C. Geissler
Oxford University Press, USA, 1997
Excellent for learning about food plants from all over.
This book is great for learning to identify food plants from all over the world. The illustrations are realistic and each plant is described. I use it to help my 4-H horticulture judging team prepare for the national judging contest. The plants and illustrations in this new edition are the same as in the original book, however the 1998 edition has an excellent section on phytonutrients.

I found this book upon moving into a Providence apartment in 1990, started cooking, and people have been asking me for the recipes ever since. This vegetarian, whole food cookbook is a must-have in every kitchen, including those of hardcore carnivores like myself. Almost all of the recipes will work for the novice cook, and the result will please the most refined palates. There are too many ...

The Sacred Kitchen: Higher-Consciousness Cooking for Health and Wholeness5 reviews
Robin Robertson, Jon Robertson
New World Library, 1999
A Handbook for Celebrating Life Through Food
I opened the pages of this title expecting to read an extraordinary cookbook, but I found much more: a handbook for conscious living and for celebrating life in the food energies that we take in as nourishment for body and soul. How many of us realize that the thoughts we entertain in our minds and hearts while we cook have a direct, tangible effect on the nourishing potential of the food we ...
