Fresh from a Vegetarian Kitchen: 450 Delicious Recipes and 75 Minues for Everyday Festive and Ethnic Vegetarian Meals--All Low in Fat and Free of Chol

Meridith McCarty has written a marvelous cookbook that satisfies various niches: it is a macrobiotic cookbook, but would also suit vegetarians who are not finding the peaceful energy that comes from balancing foods properly & cooking them according to methods used for thousands of years by our ancestors. How can you bake bread without yeast (which most of us are allergic to)? How do you cook esoteric grains such as quinoa, buckwheat & amaranth? How do you incorporate sea vegetables into your diet without scaring your family? Oh, and if you enjoy "reading" cookbooks as if they were novels, you'll learn how our ancestors (recipes are from throughout the world) made homey, hearty, & ultimately nourishing meals & desserts from simple ingredients & utensils. A must for anyone trying to "get back to nature" or needing a bit of inspiration beyond the typical macrobiotic diet.
