The Schwarzbein Principle Vegetarian Cookbook

I just loved this book. It expanded our diet at home to includes lots of foods so that this sometime non-vegetarian doesn't miss meat nearly as much (all the women in the family are basically vegetarians). thanks for helping a father eat more healthfully with his family.

The Schwarzebein Principle Vegetarian Cookbook is a dream come true. I am a some-time vegetarian and my meals have tended to be brown rice, steamed vegetables, baked potatoes and salads. This great book has broadened my horizons and totally changed my mind about tofu. The recipes are incredibly tasty and easy to prepare, even for a cook-by-the numbers guy such as myself. I again commend the authors for their tofu recipes (I've usually found tofu to taste like an eraser), their fabulous soups, salad dressings and variety of breakfast treats. The Schwarzbein Principle has opened a new world of dieting for me, being able to eat great tasting meals that I can prepare myself. I've been on the diet for over one month and have lost 10 pounds. And all without starving myself or eating the kind of bizarre food combinations that often appear in other diet books. Hooray for this fabulous book and the freedom its gives vegetarians!

I'm not even a vegetarian, and I love these recipes! You know that edge of anxiety about trying a new recipe on guests? All 50 or so that I've tried in this book have been perfect for company, and I don't hesitate to try a new one, regardless of who is at table. Delicious, nourishing, eye-pleasing, and nearly everything can be made from ingredients I always have on hand. I love this cookbook!

I have dozens of cookbooks but this is the one cookbook I have found that has consistently excellent, tasty recipes. As a busy mother of three boys I don't have time for complicated recipes with long lists of ingredients which take hours to make and then somehow... just don't work. These recipes are a snap to put together, so flavorful and a hit every time. Most important, they're healthy and nutritious for both adults and growing children. My family and friends are amazed at my new confidence and skill in the kitchen. I owe it all to this book. I asked my six year old son Skylar, what he thought of Mom's new cooking and here is his unedited reply: "I love the food that my Mom makes now. She makes the best food of all time." I think that says it all. This book is a winner!

When I had my liver transplant four years ago, I was diagnosed as diabetic and knew I had to make some serious eating and lifestyle changes. To my relief, after reading The Schwarzbein Principle I found that those changes were going to be pretty easy. I could eat all the eggs, butter and cream I wanted. I lost 25 pounds in five months and I look and feel better. My cholesterol level is the best it's ever been and I am healthier than I have been in years. I no longer have to inject insulin because my diabetes is under control. Larry Hagman, Actor, Director, Producer
