Description:

2008 IACP Award Winner!

The ultimate one-stop vegetarian cookbook–from the author of the classic How to Cook Everything.
Hailed as "a more hip Joy of Cooking" by the Washington Post, Mark Bittman’s award—winning book How to Cook Everything has become the bible for a new generation of home cooks, and the series has more than 1 million copies in print. Now, with How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian, Bittman has written the definitive guide to meatless meals–a book that will appeal to everyone who wants to cook simple but delicious meatless dishes, from health-conscious omnivores to passionate vegetarians.

How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian includes more than 2,000 recipes and variations–far more than any other vegetarian cookbook. As always, Bittman’s recipes are refreshingly straightforward, resolutely unfussy, and unfailingly delicious–producing dishes that home cooks can prepare with ease and serve with confidence. The book covers the whole spectrum of meatless cooking–including salads, soups, eggs and dairy, vegetables and fruit, pasta, grains, legumes, tofu and other meat substitutes, breads, condiments, desserts, and beverages. Special icons identify recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less and in advance, as well as those that are vegan. Illustrated throughout with handsome line illustrations and brimming with Bittman’s lucid, opinionated advice on everything from selecting vegetables to preparing pad Thai, How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian truly makes meatless cooking more accessible than ever.

Mark Bittman is one of the country’s best-known and most widely respected food writers. With How to Cook Everything, he has rekindled enthusiasm for cooking in a new generation of Americans, and his weekly New York Times column, "The Minimalist," has had similar impact.

I have always been a huge fan of Mark Bittman and this new cookbook does not disappoint. As usual, most recipes have multiple variations so you are bound to have the ingredients for at least one. He uses simple ingredients and writes in such a way that I feel he is standing next to me. I must for both the vegetarians and meat eaters of the world!!

I thought it might be just a rehashing of his recipes from the yellow book and/or the Minimalist column, but this book is filled with creative, thoughtful recipes for everything from spaghetti sauce to plum-rosemary upside down cake. The cooking times are realistic and it's easy to follow. Finally, there is some competition for Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (my tried and true favorite book)!

My 5 star rating of this cookbook is not of the book as a whole, but is based on going through the entire book and picking out particular recipes that are super superb. I was able to borrow this book from our local library, and on first reading found the recipe for Savory BreadPudding, which I deem worth the price of the book,and which I indeed now own. I in fact recommend previewing expensive cookbooks by examining them at a bookstore, ordering them from a source that will allow returns like Jessicas Bisuit, or borrowing them from the library:essential tools for me since I live on an island, and access is limited. I teach cooking in various venues, and am a recipe cook rather than a "free thinker"

I was so disappointed! Most of the book consists of how to cook basic vegetables. I was looking for more creative dishes, especially main courses. I have enjoyed his other books so I was very surprised by the "thrown together" feel of this one.
