"If there is one book that
will encourage you to stay home and cook... 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."

the Town Barbecued Tofu), from the Mediterranean (Swiss Chard with
Raisins, Onions & Olives) to the American South (Black-Eyed Pea Ragoût
with Tomatoes & Shiitakes, over Cheddar Cheese Grits).
You’ll find lush lasagnas; plump pierogies; bountiful burgers, beans, and
breads; pleasing pasta and pies. You’ll spoon up soups and stews, and
delight in desserts from simple to swoon worthy. |
Break-through recipes, techniques & time-saving tips; old favorites & new

Written by longtime vegetarian
Crescent Dragonwagon,
author of Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread
Cookbook,
PASSIONATE VEGETARIAN employs innovative
methods (try “Ri-sort-ofs,” in which risotto technique is used to create
splendid, richly flavored grain dishes built around not just rice but also
barley, buckwheat, spelt, and even toasted oats with an array of
seasonings) and introduces lesser-known ingredients (get to know and love
not just tofu and tempeh but a whole new generation of soy foods, as well
as “Quick Fixes” like instant bean flakes). |
For vegetarians, vegans, and anyone who
just plain loves good food
|
| Health-conscious
without being phobic, most recipes offer vegan variations. Fat content is
usually low (and when it isn't, Crescent promises, it's worth it), and
every single recipe works.
Opinionated, passionate, and
deeply personal, Ms. Dragonwagon’s tantalizing head notes will have readers
rushing to the kitchen to start cooking. (Can her over-the-top Garlic
Spaghetti really be that good? It is.) |
