More Than Lives Up to the "High-Flavor" Claim - By: , 25 Feb 1998 
Many of these dishes are unequivocal winners--particularly the roasted vegetable terrine, big chocolate cake with sour cream frosting & the bread with onion & cumin. However, I've found a high percentage of things I would never make, either because they go well beyond my tolerance for spiciness (obviously, this wouldn't be a problem for some people) or because they involve too much fuss & elaboration. Still, I recommend this book over Raichlen's early High-Flavor, Low-Fat non-vegetarian book. Maybe I'll never make the various filo-dough concoctions or the dacquoise, but I love the "three c's cavatelli," & there are plenty of tastes yet to sample that sound appealing. Unlike the non-vegetarian book, with which I have had a few disappointments in the kitchen, everything from this volume that I've made has turned out deliciously. And the photography is simply beautiful. Mr. Raichlen, you request feedback but do not give your e-mail address! If you e-mail me, I will happily go into more detail about my experiences cooking from your books, & with suggestions about the types of dishes I would like to see.
Delicious. Recipes are accurate and easy. - By: , 31 Jan 1998 
This is an excellent cookbook, vegetarian or otherwise. I have made several of the recipes & each has turned out very well. The directions are clear & precise. I particularly recommend the Lentil Soup - even my "this isn't healthy is it?" son & husband loved it!
Simply the best vegetarian cookbook - By: , 18 Sep 1997 As a long-time vegan, I own 30+ vegetarian/vegan cookbooks. This is without a doubt my favorite. I have made about 30-40 of the recipes & each have turned out exceptionallly. Most recipes are either vegan or easily adaptible. I constantly recommend this to my meat-eating friends to show them that ommiting flesh from a diet need not be boring.
