From Booklist
Can anyone ever regard fava beans in the same light after watching The Silence of the Lambs? Regardless of the movie's impact, vegetarianism does make sense these days, especially considering recent medical research. Weight Watchers' magazine editor Rosensweig, aided by Prevention magazine staffers, musters the attack on carnivores by debunking myths about a fruit-and-vegetable-only diet. The 250 recipes follow, presented in a conversational manner, with some expected as well as surprising dishes, including black-eyed pea souffl{‚}e, black bean pizza, onion-apple soup with crumb topping, fried polenta with cranberry-maple topping, ratatouille, and apple-bran muffins. Of course, nutritional information abounds. But no desserts are included. A month-long menu plan helps those wondering what to fix when. Barbara Jacobs

A must for any kitchen!
Several recipes in this book have become staples in my family. They are well thought out and easy to prepare. Every recipe I've tried was absolutely savory! We are not vegetarians, but find that we don't miss meat when we dig into this book. I've just become pregnant and have found many recipes that will accomodate my new dietary requirements. Whether your looking for whole meals or for side-dishes you'll find recipes that meet your needs and that you and your family will love.

Excellent, healthy, simple
This is definitely my most used cookbook. The recipes are simple, ingredients easy to find, and the food is truly healthy and delicious. Even my meat and potatoe friends like it. You can plan way ahead with these meals, since the ingredients will keep for a week usually, which makes preparation even more convenient.
