Mr. Pickarski has once again graced us with a cookbook filled with delicious recipes. But this cookbook is different. The reason I only gave it a 4-star rating is that I was a little disappointed that he included meat in some recipes. His attitude toward whole foods also seems to have mellowed somewhat since his first book, "Friendly Foods", was published. He now uses white flour and granulated sugar. However, most of his recipes live up to the Pickarski name as they are great-tasting and made with healthy ingredients. One thing that impressed me about this book is that the meat recipes always include a vegetarian option, and recipes including dairy always include a vegan option. This would be a good book for someone new to cooking as directions are given in a clear step-by-step manner and are very easy to follow. There is also an extensive section describing different ingredients with which one may not be familiar. Mr. Pickarski's latest cookbook is also a great help for someone that has to cook for meat-eaters (like I do). There's something here for everyone!
