Family Circle

This is a UK printing, but the ingredients and instructions seem easy to change to U.S. versions. It's a little recipe-heavy on the tofu and eggplant, but I enjoy that there are a lot of Asian recipes included. Keeps it from being boring. There are some good passages about protein, fat, and carbohydrates and their role in your body and how the vegetarian diet can get the proper nutrients. I like the "step-by-step" aspect of this book which shows 3 smaller images during the prep/cooking process as well as the larger image of the finished dish. This makes the recipes easy to follow along with.

I might upgrade for 4 stars or downgrade to 3 after preparing some recipes.… (mehr)
