[.ca] Great Vegetarian Cooking (ISBN 0688123260)

Another Electric Stove User Loves This Book.:
I use an ancient jiggle top cooker and an electric stove and have always had great results with this book. With no mishaps! I agree that the New Mexican Pinto Bean soup is killer. In fact, all the soup recipes are good. And ready in minutes. Another favorite of mine is the Double Sesame Grain Salad. The reference tables inside the covers are very helpful. My only caveat is I found that when I tried to make the homemade coconut milk recipe on p. 19, it seemed to explode and make a mess when I used a regular blender. Using a hand blender, it works brilliantly. I highly recommend this book. You don't even have to be vegan (I'm not even a vegetarian anymore) to enjoy it.

Rules all over the place!!:
My husband and I received this book as a holiday present this year. I was so excited. The recipes are so easy since we keep a lot of staples around our house. I have had a pressure cooker for years, but this acutally makes everything a snap. The flavors are excellent - and in the food - as opposed to "on" or "in the broth". We have used 2 recipes a week since we have had it. IT RULES!! I couldn't be happier. Now, my vegitarian sister wants a pressure cooker and cook book (she is jealous that "my" lentil and garlic soup was a million times better than her's). =)

Great info for the vegan cook, and low fat too!:
I have had this book for quite some time, and have really enjoyed it. Am searching for another for a friend who just got a pressure cooker - I'm tired of reading recipes to her on the phone! Front and back inside covers have reference pages quick and handy for checking cook times for beans and grains and I refer to them all of the time, since I can't seem to remember them all. I've purchased 2-3 more to give to other friends who are new to pressure cooking (and vegetarianism) and they love them as well. A real find - and I love the hardcover.

Execellent book.:
I've made several of the stew recipies and they all came out as expected. Tonight I made a caribbean stew that was delicious (although I'd have a sharp knife for that one...it required pealing and choping a tough root vegetable and a butternut squash.)

Almost Delicious:
The recipies in this book are abosolutely delicious except they seem to be lacking something. I have found that adding meat to some of the dishes really helps out the flavor, like a rack of lamb being added to some of the salads. Also what i noticed was there was no recipe for hamburgers(one of my favorite foods). Hamburgers are so Uncle Jesse.
