This book is extremely thorough in its approach. The initial chapters describing the properties of different fruits\vegetables and explaining how to prepare them is invaluable information.
The recepies are well ordered in to starters, mains and desserts and also taking into account the different countries typical food groups. They include all the standard ingredients you would expect to find in a standard supermarket and some specialities which you may have to do a bit of exploring for to get hold of... which of course is all part of the journey when you learn how to cook as a veggie !!
I think for someone without much idea of how to cook (veggie or not) or a newly converted vegetarian this book is simple to follow and has very clear instuctions. For the more experienced it provides plenty of sources for new ideas and has helped stir my imagination on countless occasion.
My only gripe is do not pay attention to the preparation times given, it is far too optimistic (or I'm far too slow!)

Good book
14 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book a year ago and have cooked about 20+ recipes from it. I would have never guessed a cookbook by Reader's Digest can be this good. I was recently at my In-Laws over the Christmas holiday and was the designated chief this time. It is not an easy family to cook for: there is a vegan in the family and another can't have salt in his diet. Well, everyone was happy with their food. One caviar, many of the recipes require sizable amount of cheese. So if you are a vegan or want to watch your dairy intake then this might not be the book for you.
