Great book!, 25 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Peaceful Palate (Paperback)
This was the first cookbook I found upon deciding to become a vegan; I consider this to be a stroke of great luck. Ms. Raymond does a fantastic job of setting you up for healthful cooking: She helps you stock your pantry, explains foods which might be new to a beginning vegetarian, gives nutrition information, and included a cornucopia of easy and delicious recipes. She does not rely on attempts at mimicking foods which contain animal products, but supplies foods which stand easily on their own two feet. Even I, a kitchen klutz, get excited every time I open the book. A must for any kitchen, vegetarian or no.

My husband and I are not vegans, nor are we even vegetarians, but the recipies in here are so delicious and simple to make that we usually end up making them again and again.

Really great!, 12 Feb 2001
By bluedog4000 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Peaceful Palate (Paperback)
I just bought The Peaceful Palate about a week ago, and I've already used it several times. I love buying veggie cookbooks and collecting recipes, but this one stands out. I can make most of the recipes in it just using the ingredients I already have in my kitchen -- I do have a well-stocked pantry, but that's still unusual. I would recommend this book for beginners, busy people and those who sometimes just forget how easy it can be to throw together a healthy meal (like me!).

Great gift book, 1 Feb 2006
By Kevin Polk "author of Gaiome" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Peaceful Palate (Paperback)
Friends keep asking me what to get for someone who has just started cooking or turned vegan. Hands down, this is the one and only book I recommend. I bought it four years ago and still use it weekly. It has fool-proof cornbread, hummus, split pea soup, tacos, masoor dal, Thai noodle salad, oatmeal cookies---all the vegan stand-bys. For breakfasts, the scrambled tofu is good, though I had bad luck with the french toast and sourdough pancakes. I really appreciate the nutritional information provided for each dish. The pantry-stocking pages are excellent, as is the overview of nutrition and veganism. For beginners, the book's chief asset is its brevity: my first vegan cookbook was too big, and it took me way too long to sift through it and plan the week's meals. This has everything you need for months of great cooking, without much fuss. And its wide pages lay relatively flat, which makes it easier to use in the kitchen. A must for the new vegan or cook in your life.

The best vegetarian cookbook we've found., 24 Jan 1998
By J. Folsom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Peaceful Palate (Paperback)
As recent converts to a vegetarian lifestyle, my husband and I were desperate for nutritious, low-fat, delicious recipies. After looking at countless veggie cookbooks, we found The Peaceful Palate. Every recipe we've tried has been wonderful! So far we've given away at least twenty copies of the book to friends and relatives who have expressed an interest. We should apply for a volume discount!
