Product Description
Cathe Olson (Simply Natural Baby Food) is back with The Vegetarian Mothers Cookbook, a collection of more than 300 delicious whole foods recipes designed to nourish mothers and their families throughout pregnancy and lactation. The easy-to-prepare dishes are packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids to help both mother and baby thrive. Entrees include many "quick fix" meals and freezable dishes perfect for the busy parent. Many of the recipes in the book are vegan, and almost all of the recipes provide vegan options. For those with allergies, wheat-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and egg-free dishes are also included. There are even teas and tonics to help ease common pregnancy discomforts. In addition to recipes, The Vegetarian Mothers Cookbook provides up-to-date nutritional information with recommended dietary intakes, complete guide to ingredients, suggested shopping list, and tips for saving time and minimizing work in the kitchen. This book is a comprehensive eating guide for vegetarian mothers, and for non-vegetarians who want to include more whole foods in their diets.

 The most practical cookbook I own January 9, 2009
While I agree that this the best resource on nutrition for pregnant and breastfeeding women, any person wanting to add a nutritional boost to their meals would benefit from this comprehensive cookbook. I did buy this cookbook two years ago, when I was pregnant with my son, but I plan to use it for a long time to come, even when my kids are grown up.
This is the way I like to cook, meals packed with nutrition. I have to admit, most recipes in this cookbook I would not classify as gourmet, although they are certainly delicious. They are aimed at providing the most nutrients. Just a few ways that the author does that is by adding sea vegetables, using whole grains, and incorporating nut and seed butters.
By the way, I also don't use sugar and dairy in my cooking, so finding good cookbooks can be hard, but this one offers alternatives, and tends to use wholesome ingredients. I think vegan nutrition is great, but lots of vegan cookbooks out there substitute meat with a bunch of processed soy products, processed sugar, and white flour. This book is definitely for health conscious out there! For those, who are not interested in vegan or even vegetarian way of eating, this cookbook is a great way to add some more vegetables and whole grains into your diet.
I made some miso soup for dinner, and not only was it tasty, it was packed with lots more greens, than traditional miso soup, which made it a great meal in itself. Sweet Potato-Spelt Biscuits are delicious even if you don't like sweet potatoes. Roasted Root Vegetables are a breeze to make and are a great way to get my toddler to eat beets.
After you follow the instructions in this cookbook, you will know how to add more nutrition to your cooking. Lots of easy and flexible recipes!
Happy Tasting!
 Just okay January 7, 2009
I don't find the recipes in this book especially appealing. I'll be sticking to my Moosewood cookbooks. I've read enough about nutrition during the vegetarian pregnancy that I know what I need to get in my diet, even without this book.
My most well-thumbed cookbook! December 7, 2008

I bought this book when my now-five-year-old was a baby. The food in it is delicious, as well as being healthy and filling. The veggie soup in here (the one with the seaweed) is to die for. My son loved it then, and he loves it now. As do I! Thanks for a fantastic book.

I use this book every single day (and still have more recipes in it to try out). I love the food and so does my daughter. I would not be as happy a vegan as I am if I did not have this book.
