Vegetarian Recipes
(A Wiley hardback)
By Carol Gelles
A review by Marty Martindale
A few years back Carol Gelles wrote her highly acclaimed 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes. The cookbook won both the Julia Child and James Beard awards. Now Gelles brings you her top favorites in a more concise, handy-sized book.
On one handy page she defines the different degrees of vegetarianism - pesco-lacto-ovo, lacto-ovo, ovo and vegan or strict vegetarian. In another section she lines out menus and classifies them for the experiences they are. Probably, most helpful of all are her thoughtful headnotes. These can share a memory she has of the food, a tip for easier preparation or some variations you might wish to try.
Here is a summary of the summary recipes:

Calls for butter, shallots, wild mushrooms, parsley, savory or thyme, cream cheese and heavy cream
