Da Capo Press, 2007 Veganomicon Turns Cooking Back into the Pleasure it should Be I once only knew how to fry an egg. Then I went to Andalusia and my Spanish friends taught me all things culinary. Back then, I even ate sparrows and spent my afternoons curing fish and boiling pork bone. Fast forward into mid-life, I've changed my eating habits to be healthier and stay lean. In the years after returning to the US I lost interest in my imported cooking skills due to the lack of ...             American Wholefoods Cuisine: Over 1300 Meatless, Wholesome Recipes from Short Order to Gourmet36 reviews Nikki Goldbeck, David Goldbeck Plume, 1984 American Wholefoods Cuisine Trying to find a good all round vegetarian cookbook is quite a difficult task. Many of the vegetarian cookbooks I've come across are either gourmet and not really suitable for everyday meals or full of bland tofu recipes that resemble cardboard in taste and texture. Finding recipes that use only whole foods is even more difficult. I've only come across one or two good ones that had maybe a half ...             The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook39 reviews Louise Hagler, Dorothy R.

This is the ideal dinner-party cookbook, and your guests will think you're a genius cook. I've been using it since the mid 1980's, and have made my reputation on dishes like Siamese Chicken Curry, Chicken Liver Paté with Brandy, Bacon, and Herbs, Vanilla Walnuts, and more. The flavorful dishes are sometimes high in fat, but who cares? This is food for special occasions, and it will be your ...             Vegan Fusion World Cuisine: Healing Recipes and Timeless Wisdom from our Hearts to Yours76 reviews Mark Reinfeld, Bo Rinaldi Beaufort Books, 2007 Vegan Heaven I've tried about half of these recipes and had good success.

Everything you need to brew right.             The Tassajara Bread Book49 reviews Edward Espe Brown Shambhala, 1995 Don't be afraid of the bread For years I have been intimidated by bread - previous attempts have been disasterous: I have baked loaves so dense they have their own gravitational field, or a bread-like substance somewhat akin to crackers lies in the bread pan. I had almost given up on it, until a friend handed me this book and said, "Don't be afraid of the bread - try this." The recipies are simple, and the instructions ...             The Victory Garden Cookbook43 reviews Marian Morash Knopf, 1982 My most-referenced cookbook I'm ordering a new copy of The Victory Garden Cookbook because my original is falling apart. It's a quick reference for preparing just about any vegetable you can think of, but the bonus is that it offers terrific recipes. Everything I've ever made from this fantastic cookbook has turned out to perfection. If I could only keep one cookbook on the shelf, it would be this one!             All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking36 reviews Molly Stevens W. W. Norton & Company, 2004 This book has made me a better cook I never knew what braising was when I bought this book. It caught my eye because it was so thick, and I thought "How can there be that much on braising?" Well, I have to say, buying this book has been the nicest surprise in my cooking. I have made the absolute best pot roast ever (I never liked pot roast until I cooked it following Molly's recipes). She does such a terrific job of not only ...             Aromatherapy & Herbalism49 reviews Rochelle Moore BookSurge Publishing, 2005 AROMATHERAPY & HERBALISM READ IT - LOVE IT - ROCHELLE MOORE IS A BRILLIANT AUTHOR             Luscious Lemon Desserts32 reviews Lori Longbotham, Alison Miksch, ... Chronicle Books, 2001 Luscious Indeed! For anyone who likes lemon desserts-which is just about everybody! It's pretty surprising that no one had written a lemon dessert book before Lori Longbotham, but fortunately for any home baker that it's one of her favorite flavors. This book is filled with delicious, easy desserts-try the homey Ultimate Lemon Pound Cake, the Chocolate Ganache Tart with Lots of Lemon (wow!), or the delectable ...             The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating26 reviews Fergus Henderson Ecco, 2004 Intriguing, Simple, Elegant A delightfully intriguing, simple, and elegant collection of recipes and techniques. Unlike some of the reviewers, I see little or no problems getting the ingredients or reasonable substitutions. Pig's head, tripe, tongue, etc just go to a Mexican or Asian market. I may not be able to get rocket but I know I can get nasturtium leaves and flowers (also peppery greens) from my backyard. Most of the ...             More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally31 reviews Fran Costigan Book Publishing Company, 2006 A Chef in my Kitchen I love Fran's straight-talk style...it's as if she is right here in my kitchen giving helpful hints and encouragement.

One of the best cookbooks I've purchased all year! A wealth of information--from growing and caring for your own herbs, to harvesting, storage and usage.

Abrams, 2004 Brilliant!!! I first discovered Heidi on her website 101cookbooks when I was looking for gluten free recipes. From there I discovered she published two books: this one and Super Natural Cooking. I bought both. This book is, simply put: BRILLIANT. She takes the book and breaks it up into sections such as main dishes, side dishes, desserts, beverages. But that is as traditional as she gets.
