Quotes:

I am a cookbook junky. I have never used a cookbook more than this one. Since becoming a vegetarian/vegan, I have been floundering around trying to figure out what to cook that is healthy and easy. While before, vegetarian food seemed bland, now I know that vegetarian can be gourmet and tastes better than anything I made when I was eating meat.  Tally, Amazon.com 

Indian cooking seemed intimidating until I purchased this book. Sidney, Amazon

The recipes are very healthy and some of the best I have ever used. I appreciate all the breakdown and explanations of diet and ingredients. M. Wilson, Amazon

Why We Chose This Book

We wanted a book with top credentials in history, cultural, and culinary topics that emphasized food created and enjoyed by a large group of Americans. Our desire was for dietetics practitioners to become more competent in counseling, writing menus, and adapting nutrition guidelines for these clients.
