Full of lots of recipes written in old fashioned cookbook style. They are basic recipes which you can easily modify to your tastes. I use it all the time for a reference and have my favorites marked. It isn't the modern showy one or two recipes per page. There are more than that on each page. It is one of my kitchen books while the others reside in the library I have in my home.
Charney's book is excellent. I have made quite a few recipes from it and each is a five star. His Dark meat Seitan and his Light meat seitan are both very good and very easy plus they are extremely easy to modify. He also teaches about the ingredients on the pages making it easier for you to modify to your taste and to better understand and seek recipes that will suit you.
Actually it isn't just a cookbook. It's a primer of cooking with extremely low fat methods. It isn't just for those seeking a low fat diet or cutting back on fat but also for those who wish to learn different methods of cooking and learn a bit more about cooking period. The recipes are excellent. Dean Ornish is big on taste and some of the best chefs in the country contributed to this because they were challenged to cook low fat and make it taste as good as high fat. My copy is getting very worn.
When I purchased this, I wasn't looking for this book. I found a great book by accident. The recipes are Quick, easy and good. It turned into a keeper and part of my main collection which I keep in the kitchen for quick use. [The other of the 500 are in the office] I can always fall back on this book when I can't figure out what to cook. [Yeah I know.. 500 cookbooks and you have a problem figuring out what to cook...]
This was excellent. Every recipe I have tried has turned out great. The recipes are also very easy to alter to create a new taste. I'm very please with this one and it has become one of the cookbooks I use all the time. My crockpot gets a LOT more use thanks to this book. The recipes suit the Vegetarians and also the meat eaters. They are simply excellent vegetable recipes.
