Vegetarian Pasta Cookbook

This cookbook is great for vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. I've tried almost all of the recipes and they're innovative, protein packed, and delicious. The majority of the recipes have full color pictures to tempt you as you flip through, and for the most part, the ingredients will be familiar and accessible (although Ms. Maxwell never explains why one should choose sunflower oil as a substitute for olive/vegetable oil). The book opens with a great explanation of pasta making for those with extra time on their hands (or those with the urge to try the delicious chocolate pasta recipes in the back of the book). The introduction also includes simple instructions for basic sauces that are very easily adaptable to any purpose. This book is a great buy for a vegetarian looking to spice up their meals in new and unexpected ways.

Possibly the best vegetarian cookbook I've ever worked from. I've tried almost every recipe in here and each one is flavorful and attractive. You'll never miss meat if you cook these delicious dishes!
