Book Reviews of Cafe Flora Cookbook

Book Review: The go-to cookbook for vegetarian dishes when entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars

The Cafe Flora Cookbook is different than other vegetarian cookbooks, in my opinion, in that these are the recipes you want to go to when you are entertaining. To put this in perspective - the Moosewood Cookbooks, for example, are for delicious home cooking that are great for casual get togethers, weeknight dinners, and family meals. The Cafe Flora Cookbook is what you want to refer to when you are having a dinner party that includes vegetarians and meat eaters. The dishes are all absolutely delicious and look wonderful. These are restaurant-quality dishes (they are from the Cafe Flora restaurant), obviously. Some of the recipes are pretty time consuming, but it's worth it to know you will end up with something that everyone will love and you can prepare many things ahead of time. There are also many vegan and wheat-free recipes, which are always good to have when trying to satisfy a crowd.

The cookbook starts with a great appetizer section, and then moves on to salads/soups, and then entrees. They also have a section on other things like sauces and pantry items. The dressings and sauces are excellent. When you are planning for a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas, take some recipes from this book!

Again, every single thing I have made from this cookbook has been outstanding. It's my favorite cookbook for guest-worthy vegetarian food, and I must have at least 50 other vegetarian cookbooks. I would be lost without this one. I was lucky enough to receive this as a gift. After making some of the recipes, I bought copies for all of my friends (vegetarian and not!). Highly highly recommended.

Along with serving and presentation suggestions, substitutions where appropriate, and a host of other culinary tips and advice, Cafe Flora Cookbook embodies the true genius of this inventive restaurant.
