Review of Vegetarian Planet

[Guest guest]

I went to www.amazon.com to find a review of Didi Emmon's Vegetarian Planet.

 

Here is the review that they had from Booklist, which is a magazine

librarians read to determine what to buy for their library. Based on this

positive review many public libraries probably purchased it. It is at my

local branch library.

 

Review: From Booklist , May 15, 1997. With virtually every eater eager to

reduce the amount of cholesterol and other saturated fats in everyday

diets, vegetarian cooking is gaining new adherents. Emmons' vegetarian

cookbook distinguishes itself from other similar current offerings by

presenting recipes for complex creations that make vegetarianism more

attractive than cooking found in customary tofu-and-tamari tomes. Emmons

delights in variations on lasagna, and she has plenty of Mexican-inspired

items to attract pepper lovers. Thoughtful attention to spices and herbs

will help win converts to vegetarianism from meat-centered diners. An

entire chapter on " burgers " aims to woo the younger set, but long

ingredient lists and time-consuming techniques make these burgers more

complicated for the time-pressed cook than their fast-food cousins.

Experienced home chefs looking for alternatives to meat-based cuisine will

find plenty here to delight vegetarian family members and dinner guests.

(I also logged into my local public library's catalog on the web and put a

hold on a copy of Vegetarian Grill which is a future cookbook of the week.

The library will send me e-mail when it is available for pick up.)
