Cook books

[Guest guest]

I have found a lot of the recipes from vegan/vegetarian books to taste perfectly

awful. At the potlucks here people tend to bring dishes that they have gotten

from cookbooks and so some of the dishes are perfectly awful too. LOL I cook by

the seat of my pants having adapted beginning recipes way back when to suit my

children and then later to suit me. It seems like a lot of the recipes are

trying to be " healthy " too. I buy all organic, but that is about all I do to

bow to the health food stuff. I figure I am alive, enjoying it, and want to

continue to do so and not worry about how long that will be. Since going vegan

my cholesterol dropped to 127 where it had been very high on the vegetarianism.

No blood pressure problems, absolutely no medications, but I know that I am

lucky and blessed so far. But health wasn't why I went vegan, but is sure a nice

benefit if they are right about cholesterol contributing to heart attacks.

I have both of her Uncheese books and I give them about 3 stars out

of 10. Susie and I talked about these books months ago. So many of

the recipes taste simply awful. Recipes seem off, too much yeast,

etc. If you go th Amazon.Com and look this book up you will see the

other comsumers say about the same thing. I have posted her Eggplant

Parmesan in my group files, that's about the only recipe I found to be

worth while. There are so many books out there that have much better

results when you try a recipe.

Hope this helped, Donna
