 Not truly a vegetarian cookbook - inlcudes LOTS of fish recipes April 1, 2007
It is frustrating that a book would call itself vegetarian in its title and then have probably half (perhaps even more than half) of the recipes include fish or fish products. Vegetarians do not eat flesh (yes, fish are animals, and therefore eating them qualifies as eating meat, flesh, animals, whatever you want to call it). A better title might have been "International Vegetarian and Pescetarian Cookbook." In any case it should be made clear on the cover that the book relies heavily on fish recipes, and should clarify that the fish recipes are not really vegetarian.
It makes going out to eat or attending dinner parties challenging for everybody when people are confused about what vegetarians eat; imagine going through all the trouble of cooking a lovely fish dish, thinking your vegetarian guest will be able to eat it - this is embarrassing for everybody concerned, and can be a quite uncomfortable situation.
Aside from the proliferation of fish recipes, the truly vegetarian recipes in this cookbook are uninspiring. Vegetarians looking for a good cookbook with a healthy perspective would do well to look elsewhere.
For those confused about terms related to vegetarianism and what vegetarians do and don't eat, here's a short list:
Vegetarian: eats no flesh, but may eat eggs and milk products
Lacto-ovo vegetarian: a bit more specific than "vegetarian"; lacto-ovo vegetarians eat no flesh, but will eat eggs and milk products
Lacto vegetarian: eats no flesh and no eggs, but does eat milk products
Ovo vegetarian: eats no flesh and no milk products, but does eat eggs
Vegan: eats no flesh, no eggs, no milk products; often vegans also do not eat honey.
Pescetarian: Does not eat flesh other than fish; might eat eggs and milk products
 I bought the book because it has fish recipes! March 28, 2007

Hello, I was not going to buy this book if it was truly vegetarian, but when I read all the reviews below commenting on the all the fish recipes, I realized, this is truly the perfect book for me, so I ordered it!! I eat more organic fruit, vegetables, nuts and whole grains than anything and most of my health books include fish as part of a healthy diet.This book would sell better with a different title though as this is misleading. But what do you call those of us who eat fish, eggs, (and some poultry in my case) and avoid red meat, dairy, sugar, starches, junk food, processed food, non-organic vegetables and fruit, etc.?
 Not for Vegetarians, but GREAT March 15, 2006

I'm not a vegetarian, but am married to and the mother of vegetarians so I do a lot of cooking to suit their needs. I think Gary is amazing from a nutritional perspective and find that the recipes in his books are delicious, not hard to prepare, and quick. While I agree that calling this book vegetarian is misleading, it is oriented toward vegetarians and very much toward eating healthy and well. I highly recommend his work.
A Great VEGETARIAN BOOK October 10, 2004

I think this book provided variety of recipies for Vegetarians. There were a couple of reviews here from who I can only suppose as "Strict Vegetarians" who didnt seem to understand that fish is not meat! Please do not be fooled by their limited knowledge. In addition, this book also provided recepies based on different ethnicity so one can try a taste of different culture.
Wonderful! January 9, 2002

This is a great book for people who enjoy ethnic foods and are looking to cut meat and dairy out of their diet. There are a lot of fish recipes which I find really refreshing. It's very difficult to find a vegetarian cookbook that is not full of recipes containing dairy. Just as it is impossible to find a vegan cookbook that contains fish recipes. So if you are like me and don't fit neatly into the vegetarian or vegan catagory, you will find this cookbook to be a wonderful addition to your library! Happy eating.
