When Vegetariana was first published in 1984, Publisher's Weekly's review predicted that "this book should prove itself a classic." And it has. Now back in print with its original cover art, Vegetariana is here for a new generation to enjoy.

Review
A one-woman masterpiece celebrating vegetarianism, it's an offbeat, lighthearted look at the lore of vegetarian foods, well as a compilation of good, appetizing recipes. -- Detroit News

A treasure. Atlas's historical journeys are whimsical and memorable. Good, simple recipes, enough to form an entire repertoire of healthy, ethnic cuisine. -- Vegetarian Times

From the Publisher
More than 230 easty, tasty recipes using readily available ingredients are at the heart of these pages, but Vegetariana is more than a cookbook. It's a sampler of wit, folk wisdom, verse, botanical lore, literary anecdotes, and aphrodisia, all pertaining to the delights of delicious food and wholesome meals. In all, it's a lighthearted celebration of the vegetarian way of life.

This is a cookbook like no other5
I have the original, published in 1984, and not only is it a fabulous cookbook - it also makes for interesting reading. The illustrations are wonderfully witty. Nava Atlas is simply the best. If you love to cook and enjoy reading cookbooks you won't find a better one that this.

Love at First Sight5
The minute I opened this book I was hooked: Great recipes, fabulous illustrations and a joy to read. It's been my favorite for years; you'll never find another one like this.
