 We're not vegetarian, January 7, 2009
but this is a super cookbook. Everything I've made from it so far has been delicious, and the recipes are very easy to follow. I recommend it for anyone who wants to do more with/get more out of vegetables and fruits. Who knew I would like parsnips?
The Only Vegetarian Book You Ever Need To Buy December 24, 2008

A friend gave this book to me when I became a vegetarian and I have absolutely loved having it. It is an amazing reference to have around in case you have any questions concerning the expansive world of vegetarian cooking and eating. Every recipe that I have tried out of this book has been super delicious as well. I have given Madison's book to two friends of mine who were interested in becoming vegetarian and they have enjoyed it just as much as I have.
 Great Vegetarian cookbook! December 15, 2008
This vegetarian cookbook is a treasure trove of recipes! Deborah Madison emphasizes fresh ingredients and simple flavors. If you are looking for exotic recipes, lots of sauce or spices you need to look elsewhere. Deborah Madison's genius is in letting the flavors of the vegetables, grains and dairy products shine through in her recipes. I wish I had had this book when I first became vegetarian; I was put off by the often bizarre ingredients in other vegetarian cookbooks. This is book I most often pull out when non-vegetarian friends and family come over for dinner.
Amazing cooking book December 11, 2008
I have recently turned to a vegan diet because I had high cholesterol [as an aside, it works: it reduced my cholesterol 30%]. So, I was looking for a good vegetarian cooking book. This is it. I have tried several recipes, and the result [mostly] has been outstanding. The amazing thing is, the recipes in this book just work. It's like science. You follow the recipe exactly -- even the timing is right on -- and the result is just great. With other cooking books I have always had to modify and improve the recipes. So, here is the only negative: when people praise the dishes, I have to say: it's not me, it's Madison!
One caveat. It's not a dedicated vegan cooking book. I have not been able to find any good vegan pasta dishes in the book. I tried a few that turned out completely tasteless. Those recipes had "cheese optional," but my feeling is that the cheese was essential. So, a vegan will need to evaluate the recipes carefully to judge if cheese and butter is really optional or actually essential.
Classic standard for every kitchen October 6, 2008
Vegitarian Cooking for Everyone really is a classic cookbook that teaches the fundamentals as well as everything that you need to know about cooking everything from grains and vegetables to pastas and everything in between. It is right there with Julia Child's The Way to Cook and Marion Cunningham's The Fannie Farmer Cookbook in it's level of importance and likely everyday practical use in any kitchen.
Nevertheless, as with The Way to Cook, this is much more than just a basics cookbook. It teaches an understanding about the foods that it address. To my mind, that is what makes a cookbook a great book and not just a compilation of recipes.
