[.ca] Table for Two: Meat- And Dairy-Free Recipes for Two (ISBN 1570670196)

great starter cookbook....:
This was one of the first Vegan cookbooks I purchased and have used, and continue to use regularly. I bought this book while transitioning to veganism, and found it to be indispensable. I think I've made almost every recipe in the book, all with great results. The recipes are tasty, not to complicated and full of comforting and familiar foods. It also introduced me to some unique Vegan ingredients - which I now use in many recipes. I especially like the index that allows you to search by ingredients. In addition, in following the recipes (and portion sizes), I was able to loose over 180lbs! Just another added benefit of a healthy cooking that Joanne makes so accessible.

My favorite cookbook:
I hate cooking...I find it stressful and confusing. Joanne Stepaniak made this book for people like me. I've owned this book since 1999, and it is the one I always turn to. This book has cooking terms and herb substitutions. There is also a guide to cooking various grains and vegetables, so if you are starting out and wondering what to do with millet, this book will help you. New vegans, long time ones, and omnivores will like the recipes. My favorites are Muffin Magic (makes different types of muffins), Aunt Shayna's Potato Cakes, and the unbelievable four ingredients peanut butter cookies. Although this book is geared towards smaller households, the recipes are easily doubled.

Fantastic cookbook!:
This has to be one of my favorite cookbooks. I use it several times a week b/c the portion sizes are perfect for me and the recipes aren't at all time consuming or difficult to make.Joanne is very thorough in the step by step instructions for each recipe. The introduction has alot of great tips, a list of ingredients for stocking a pantry, and suggestions for very basic equipment.This book is great for anyone who is new to vegetarian/ vegan cooking, or doesn't like to spend too much time in the kitchen.

Highly recomended!:
This book is an all in one schmorgasboard of info. I especialy like that it has a section on spices and herbs, explaining the best substitutes. The book also tells you how to best prepare basic ingredients for two, as well as measuring basic's for two. (Veggies, pastas, grains...) The recipies are great, too. :) Everyone loved the Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins, and try the Baked Macaroni and Vegetable Casseroles. Yum!

Great small portion Vegan Cooking:
This cookbook is fantastic. it's portions are sized just right for my Fiance and Myself. We don't have to scale back the recipe's to avoid leftovers. It also included a guide to setting up your pantry and your kitchen, as well as a two week meal schedule that is especially good for those who are new to being vegetarian or Vegan. I like it because though I am not Vegan the recipes are easily adaptible to include real cheese, and as a vegetarian they meat my needs as well.
