Book Reviews of Friendly Foods (Gourmet Vegetarian Cuisine)

Book Review: Perhaps the best gourmet vegan cookbook on the market!
Summary: 5 Stars

Many times I have eaten vegan recipies which are not only bland but unimaginative. When I bought friendly foods over 7 years ago (when I was just turning to a vegetarian lifestyle) I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

The recipies in here are not only nutritionaly well balanced, they are easy on the stomach, delicious and rather easy to make! This book was one of the few that convinced me that eating a non dairy/meat diet would not only be easy, but very satisfying.

Some of the best recipies in this book are the Carob Cake with the Peanut Butter frosting, Tofu Spinach Pie, Hazelnut Glennie and the Carrot Pate.

This book is not only well versed in well tasting vegetarian/vegan recipies, but is chock full of good nutritional advice as well. Although I have not tried all of the recipies in this book, every single one I have tried has been relatively easy to make and the ingredients are relatively easy to get at your local helth food store (and some more enlightened grocery store chains)

Summary of Friendly Foods (Gourmet Vegetarian Cuisine)

Franciscan monk, Brother Ron Picarski calls whole grains, vegetables, legumes, sea vegetables, and various other foods "friendly foods," because they do not bear the high environmental, economic, and nutritional costs of meat and processed foods. This new cookbook has 300 recipes that do not use meat, eggs, or dairy products--for the ghealth-conscious cooks of the '90s.
