Vegetarian Books

Vasu Murti is an Asian-Indian who is viably not Jewish or Christian. However, he has an incredible knowledge of the Bible and he mentions virtually every prominent Jewish, Protestant and Catholic thinker and/or saint that advocated vegetarianism and animal welfare during the past five thousand years. The book also includes Ancient Greek vegetarians and Muslem animal welfare proponents. This book is a most for all people of Faith and for all people who love animals. It stresses that idealistic Judeo-Christianity embraces vegetarianism based on God's meatless dietary edict in the Garden of Eden(before the fall) and the wondrous words of The Prophet Isaiah in his chapters 11 and 65!

Candid, refreshing and very well balanced, Blanchard's book is a blessing for those of us -vegetarians or not- who need to find new dishes that work. Even though is targeted for the holidays, this is a great book to keep in hand at all times for new and imaginative ideas to serve creative and healthy treats or planning interesting menus for entertaining

Tofumania: 120 Easy Recipes For The Dishes You Love - With The Added Benefits Of Tofu is a cookbook that shows the reader how to make beloved favorite recipes lower in calories and cholesterol and healthier by including or substituting tofu. From Tofu Fruit Shakes and French Toast to Salmon Mousse, Seafood Chowder, Mushroom and Tofu Medley, Turkey Stuffing, Cream Cheese Tofu Icing and more, the collection includes both favorite standby foods and inventive creations. Some main dishes are meatless; others include seafood or red meat. Tofumania is an easy-to-follow all-purpose cookbook for the health-conscious gourmet.

For those who are looking to eat healthy, getting lots of protein from beans and nuts but not yet ready to give up meat all together, this is a great cookbook and reference.

At first glance, the book's title suggests a limited number of main ingredients. To my surprise there are a myriad of ingredients, all products of tofu, beans and nuts, some natural, some processed. For starters, there are tofu in different textures, deep-fried tofu, tofu thread, soft layered tofu sheet, tofu sheet (that's right, this and the soft layered are two different things,) tofu sticks, bean curd, wrapped gluten, wheel gluten, fried gluten... Well, you get the idea.

The recipes in this book are easy to follow and the English and Chinese help identify ingredients and spices, which make shopping for special items a breeze. A helpful feature of this book is the remarks that come with most recipes. They provide great tips for turning out delicious dishes.

Even a vegetarian can have a lot of fun with this book. Tofu With Dried Lily Flower, Braised Tomato with Tofu, Brown Tofu and my favorite Tofu Sheet with Bean Sprout Rolls, are all delicious without meat products. Stewed Green Soybean is a delicious and healthy snack bound to be loved by adults and kids alike, and it is so easy to make.

This book is also good for a novice cook. It contains details of cooking basics including cooking methods, cutting techniques, spices and sauces and the name of ingredients in Chinese and English. They are very helpful even for one who's been cooking for a long time.

Hi. First let me tell you that I don't usually write reviews, this is my very first review ever. I was very delighted to lean new excited vegetarian recipes and ideas . I strongly recommend Louise Walker's books, espacially if you have a friend AGA in your kitchen!
