   Don’t overlook this book just because of the dopey, disproven food combination garbage. This book is a gem, filled with wonderful, easy to prepare dishs, with lots of great ideas. For example, bet you didn’t know that simply taking pieces of frozen cantalope and throwing them in a blender produces the most amazingly tasty shake. Yum. If the book didn’t waste so much time with idiotic food theories, I would give it 5 stars.

   Oh, thank you Marilyn. A vegetarian cookbook for the once non-vegetarian. Even my sons and husband love your recipes. After reading “The Initiation” by husband and Guru Dr. Donald Schnell, I had to know more. I had to know how to honor my body and mind. I had to know that the fuel my body was burning worked in conjunction with the way my mind was working. The only way to have pure and spiritual thoughts is to feed your body the same way you feed your mind. Reading The Initiation and having one of your desserts in the jacuzzi by candle light with my husband is the perfect way to spend the evening.

   First, this book is NOT a vegetarian cookbook. It’s VEGAN, and that’s a problem for me. I don’t want icky tofu substitutes for ingredients like eggs, milk, and cheese. For example, the tofu-based “egg salad” recipe isn’t worth the trouble. If you want egg salad, make egg salad!

   Second, although I’ve not tried many receipes, of those I have tried, I’ve found two already where the list of ingredients doesn’t jive with the directions: the directions call for ingredients that aren’t on the list of ingredients. Also, some ingredients named are just mysterious–I’ve never heard of them and can’t find them.

   Third, the recipes I’ve tried make HUGE amounts of food that overflow even my largest bowls, frying pans, and casseroles. The woman must be cooking for an army. (Of course, I can halve or quarter them down now that I know the problem exists.)

   Fourth, portion-size information and nutritional information would be very helpful but aren’t given.

   Fifth, some recipes I’ve tried seem needlessly difficult. Why go to the trouble to steam and grate potatoes if you can find good, frozen, organic shredded potatoes (i.e., hash browns) to start with? Fresh isn’t necessarily better than frozen, especially as fresh may have been in transit for several days, while fresh-frozen is actually closer to fresh off the vine or out of the ground.

   So I’m not entirely happy with this book. I won’t give it away, but I won’t consult it first. I’m much more pleased with books from the *Vegetarian Times*.

   I have had this book for over 10 years and purchased one for a gift this past Christmas. It is a great nutritional education book that should be in everyone’s kitchen whether you are a vegetarian or not. I do not like to buy prepared foods and this book offers easy, healthy recipes to avoid store bought convenience foods laden with fat and calories. My favorites are the turkey chili, salad dressings, humus, salsas and smoothies. I love this book!
