101 Vegetarian Recipes. - book reviews

Vegetarian Times, Oct, 1995 by Judy Krizmanic

Anyone who doesn't yet believe that low-fat vegetarian food can be elegant, savory and easy to prepare should take a look at this book. From the delicious Mushroom and Shallot Sauce to the delectable desserts (particularly die Lemon-Cranberry Granita), Netzer provides recipes that win convince the most skeptical. You'll find dishes for everyday meals, such as the warning Potatoes, Peas and Lentils in Spiced Tomato Sauce, as well as fare suitable for festive occasions, such as Artichoke and Leek Pie. Even die most exotic dishes can be made with ingredients available in most supermarkets.

Each recipe includes a nutritional pro-file, and they're impressive. The decadent-tasting Pumpkin Cheesecake, for instance, contains only 3.3 grams of fat per serving. Vegans will appreciate the clearly marked dairy-free recipes; many of the recipes that do contain dairy can be made without it. This is a little gem of a book for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
