Vegetarian Cooking Review
"Sunset Vegetarian Cooking" shines. Look beyond the Tofurky and the tempeh. This cookbook shows that the true wizards of Menlo Park are the cooks in Sunset magazine's test kitchens.
When I lived in Santa Fe,this cookbook came in handy,since I had a vegetarian Deadhead roommate. I've used it so much it's beginning to fall apart (along with my Soup Mix cookbook) The curried peanut soup, with its unusual combination of carrots, curry, peanut butter, Worcestershire sauce, and catsup is cooking magic. The cheddar sherry soup is delicate and delicious. The meringue-topped vegetable custard is like a quiche, but lighter. And no, the meringue isn't dessert-worthy. The layered chile is like Mexican mole with its secret ingredient of unsweetened cocoa powder. The fruited rice pilaf is a delicious melding of the savory and the sweet. The savory kugel is a filling, dinner version of the popular Jewish dessert (to quote Christopher Guest in 'For Your Consideration' "An extreme close-up of the kugel!")
"Sunset Vegetarian Cooking" offers something for everyone, from the sweet to the savory. It offers delightful, creative alternatives that even beefeaters will enjoy.
