This one is currently sitting on my desk. Let me know how it is! ]]> <![CDATA[Stephanie added 'The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76705795 to: The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat (Hardcover) by Tal Ronnen
bookshelves: cookbooks, vegetarian
I have officially reached the point where I sit down and read cookbooks cover to cover. I enjoyed "The Conscious Cook," though it's not my favorite of the vegetarian/vegan genre. I'm still pretty new at this vegetarian lifestyle, so I liked a lot of the recipes for staples like cashew cream and recipes for making vegan cheese. I did feel that the author was pushing certain products and kept thinking "does he have stock in this company?" On the other hand, there are both good and bad vegetarian substitution products, so a recommendation never hurts. Many of the recipes were pretty fussy and haute cuisine for my tastes, but I love that there are options for all types of preferences in the vegan community. I'm definitely going to give the "chicken" salad recipe a try. ]]>
