1,001 LOW-FAT VEGETARIAN RECIPES--SECOND EDITION

by Sue Spitler with Linda R. Yoakam, MS, RD

If you're looking for a comprehensive vegetarian cookbook, this is it. Though Deborah Madison's fabulous tome Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone can't be beat as an introduction to vegetarian cooking, this chunky edition is certainly the best cookbook for variety, ingenuity, ease, and sheer volume of recipes. There are five types of chili, fourteen loaf recipes, and over thirty pizza ideas. And there are plenty of recipes that I bet you never thought you could make lowfat!

This is not a vegan book, but many recipes are made vegan very easily. What we found when trying the recipes was that often ingredients had to be prepared in advance or soaked overnight. But whatever we had to do was well worth it. The results were unfailingly delicious!

1,001 Low-Fat Vegetarian Recipes (ISBN 1-57284-032-3) is published by Surrey Books. It is 852 pages and retails for $19.95.
