There are over 375 “kitchen-tested vegetarian recipes” that include soup, pasta, pizza, dessert (the tofu-carob brownies are scrumptious reminding me of my late mother-in-law’s brownies) and chili, etc. Her recipe on rutabaga and sweet potato casseroles remind me of one of my late grandma who used to make similar casseroles. There are also instructions for instance on how to make a wrap and a crust, etc. With pictures to enhance the step by step book, more than just vegan aficionados will appreciate this excellent cookbook that is summed up nicely with a remarkable meatless “beef stew”.
