How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food (How to Cook Everything)91 reviews
Mark Bittman

Wiley, 2007

FINALLY a book with the recipes and the INFO to do it right!

+ Great book, encourages creativity
+ Better than expected!

I LOVE this cookbook. I checked it out from the library and had to buy one. As a vegetarian I have been searching for a book that was more than just a compilation of vegetarian recipes and less than a lecture on the advantages of vegetarianism. I wanted something that would explain the details ...

Beyond Nose to Tail: More Omnivorous Recipes for the Adventurous Cook3 reviews
Fergus Henderson, Justin Piers Gellatly

Bloomsbury USA, 2007

Even better than The Whole Beast / Nose to Tail Eating

+ Beyond Nose to Tail
+ Beyond Nose to Awesome!

Although much more dessert and baking oriented than I would have liked, this book still deserves all your attention as it is the perfect complement to the first book. Most recipes are written in a delightfully humorous prose dusted here and there with a few opiniated, informative or funny comments. ...

Alice Waters

Clarkson Potter, 2007

Best Cookbook I Own

+ Primer for those starting out
+ Wonderful book- excellent education on cooking for a family

This is the cookbook I return to again and again. The recipes are clear and simple and perfect for weeknight cooking, but the results are always fantastic. Often I have high hopes for a recipe and then it doesn't turn out so great, but everything I've made from this book has been DELICIOUS. ...

The Editors of Cook's Country Magazine

Cook's Illustrated, 2007

Wonderful recipes and wonderful stories

+ Real recipes for real people, with great stories

I got this from the library and then had to order it. I've tried four recipes and they are all wonderful. My husband, who doesn't really like ham, loved the Ham Pie. The Blueberry bait boy is wonderful. The Kolaches were very tasty, low in calories and little sugar. The Ruskas were good (although ...

Michael Ruhlman

Scribner, 2007

Five stars, just for the salt!

+ Another must have from Ruhlman.
+ Elements

If this guy is right about salting beef, I've been wrong all my life. This is the first book I have come across to make a case AGAINST iodized salt, just because (1) it tastes bad (2) iodine deficiency is no longer a problem in America. So use kosher salt, or sea salt, and here is the amazing ...
