"If there is one book that
will encourage you to stay home and cook this winter, it is "PASSIONATE
VEGETARIAN" by Crescent Dragonwagon. .. stuffed with more than 1,000
recipes, most of them enticing to vegetarians and carnivores alike... a
Herculean 1,120 pages... so beautifully written. It seems like a
direct and logical result of a life lived richly and fully. It is a
cookbook seasoned by a story. The story is of shared food memories, love
and loss, joy and renewal."
--- Sylvia Carter,
New York Newsday
 "... an epic work that is sure to earn a spot
among the best vegetarian cookbooks of the last two decades.... part
novel, part cookbook and part memoir filled with lots of ethnic eats, from
timbales to tandoori, enchiladas to empanadas and polenta to pasta. The
biggest challenge is deciding what to make next. " --- Pam Smith O'Hara, The
Miami Herald

get to the first recipe. It's the writing that does it. Sensual, aromatic,
visually stimulating -- Crescent Dragonwagon's prose in her newest

art form."
