This is the book I've been waiting for.
As a partner in a mixed marriage (one vegetarian, one omnivore), I've often wondered how to cook for both of us - and how to show my husband the fun and merit of leaving meat out of the equation. More importantly, I've wondered how to think in bilingual terms. Usually I have to grit my teeth when surrounded by meat eaters, which is most of the time. How do you explain your moral choice? The last sections of the book show, with just enough detail about the meat industry's practices, why most of us vegetarians choose a plant-based diet. And how do you explain that you're not deprived or slightly anemic? I think any omnivore who read this book would emerge reassured, piqued, and eager to get into the kitchen and try some experiments.
Another reason I like this book is that the authors, with gusto, positively encourage you to trust yourself in the kitchen, to play with your food, to experiment with quantities and ingredients. A few basic guidelines, a list of familiar and unusual ingredients, and a nudge might be all you need. Who knew cuisine could be so forgiving? Of course, there are dozens of actual recipes in the book as well, but the mood of play and variety resound from the very first page to the last.
Cookbooks of all kinds should give readers this kind of self-confidence! I think that the recipe -- any recipe -- can be overvalued, treated as a kind of treasure map. I've seen some folks approach recipes gingerly, as if one little goof and you're off by a mile, like the treasure seekers in Poe's story The Gold Bug.
Besides making a valuable addition to your own shelf, How to Eat Like a Vegetarian would make a great gift.

I am Patti's husband Stan. Of couse this is very useful book and I am very proud of Patti. I just wanted to tell you my very favorite recipes in the book. I have probably had the Aztec Salad 50+ times over the years, and I'm still not tired of it.
The Chopped Vegetable salad is my very favorite salad.
The Potato Salad is out of this world delicious...I love it.
I love the Gazpacho.
The Cabbage and Chickpea Soup is my favorite soup - wait! The matzo ball soup is also my favorite.
I could go on but I just want to say that Patti makes these all for me, spending very little time in the kitchen.

I think a lot of people (like me) are "almost vegetarians," but can't quite go all the way because it seems like too much work. This book has been really helpful, because it puts the focus on shortcuts and convenience, with ideas for incorporating more veggie foods into your life easily. Most of the tips are in list form so you can absorb them fast and give them a try--like "10 Fast Snacks or Easy Lunches," "10 Top Vegetarian Convenience Foods," "Ten Ways to Adapt Your Favorite Recipes" and so on. The recipes seem pretty easy, but it's the lists and tips that make this book really valuable, because they speak to the way people really live--they show you how to throw together satisfying vegetarian meals without having to think too much about it.

If you're like millions of people interested in going green, or greener, you're going to love this book. Most of us are aware that cutting back on meat consumption is not only healthier for our own health, it's healthier for the planet. According to the U.N.Long Shadow report, http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html
livestock is a major threat to the environment.
You probably want to do your part to make the world greener, but you're BUSY. You most likely don't have a lot of time to cook, let alone figure out menus that are healthy for your family and the planet.
This is the book for you...if you want to make healthy, animal and earth friendly meals, that are fast with very few ingredients...
I love it!

This collection of inspiring ideas will help you create healthy, delicious meals without spending lots of time at the grocery store or in the kitchen. I've been eating like a vegetarian for almost thirty years, yet this book gave me so many new time-saving tips, I wish it had been written years ago, as it would have saved me countless hours spent searching through recipes, shopping, cooking, and scratching my head wondering, "what am I going to make for dinner tonight?" It's the perfect gift for anyone who wants to eat healthier, but doesn't have a whole lot of time to figure out how to incorporate more fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and veggies into their diet, and also for seasoned vegetarians who will appreciate making meal planning and food preparation less time-consuming endeavors.
