Asian Vegetarian Feast: Tempting Vegetable And Pasta ... (ISBN 0688151388)

The book title should be 'ASIAN Red Meat Abstainer FEAST.':
The recipes look good except...What part of a chicken is vegetable? This book contains a recipe for chicken stock in which several other recipes state: 'chicken stock or vegetable stock.' Also, there are a few recipes that use dried shrimp, clam sauce, oyster sauce, or fish sauce. Also, for those who don't eat eggs, this cookbook is packed with recipes that use eggs or egg noodles. If it bothers you to see the word chicken all over, or if you don't like making substitutes for the sea meats or eggs, avoid this cookbook.

Each meal a winner:
When i first tried this book it took me a while to assemble the ingredients required to get the tastes desired, but once i'd done that, every thing i've cooked has been delichous. Easy enough, and some superb food.

Excellent for new vegetarians:
As a new vegetarian, this was my second cookbook selection. It is now one of my classics. The pictures, instructions and explanations are all first rate. I would highly recommend it to any lover of fine cuisine, not just vegetarians.

Remember -- there are various level of vegetarianism:
The recipes are refreshing -- even if they call for "chicken broth. You can always substitute Vegetable broth for the chicken broth --- need to be creative in substituting ingredients suitable to your idea of vegetarian.

Perhaps outdated but an important book on my shelf:
This was one of the first books I ever found--back in the '80s--that had recipes for hot and cold Asian noodles. I've made almost all these recipes and none have disappointed. Additionally, dishes such as cucumber salad and myriad variations of red-cooked tofu have become staples of my everyday cooking.
