  <default_description>The ultimate one-stop vegetarian cookbook-from the author of the classic How to Cook Everything&lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   Hailed as &quot;a more hip Joy of Cooking&quot; 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.&lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   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.&lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   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, &quot;The Minimalist,&quot; has had similar impact. Bittman is also the author of How to Cook Everything: Bittman Takes on America's Chefs (0-7645-7014-5) and The Best Recipes in the World (0-7679-0672-1), both of which have companion public television series starring the author.</default_description>

It was an inside joke between my mom and I for several months that I &quot;MIGHT&quot; be getting it from her for Christmas, and I was very excited when the day came and I was able to take a more leisurely look...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32837191">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Love this cookbook, and love Charleen for sending it to me!! It's great for veggies but considering Bittman is not one, it should appeal to anyone. Since it's a monster book with no pictures, it's not ideal for flipping through idly for inspiration, but it's a fabulous reference.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a game-changer for me.  It taught me how to think like a vegetarian, and completely re-vamped both the way I cook and the way I eat.  In Defense of Food would not mean as much if I didn't already have this book under my belt...  I feel like I can institute Michael Pollan's suggestions ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71372999">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't usually bother adding cookbooks here. But I love this one so much, I can't bring myself to return it to the library. Something about Bittman's approach really works for me; he explains cooking concepts in ways that make me feel confident instead of intimidated.

It covers the starter recpies and suggests twists to fancy things up.  Almost all of the recipes are right on the first time, probably 95%.
