Cook without a Book: Meatless Meals: Recipes and Techniques for Part-Time and Full-Time Vegetarians by Pam Anderson

5.0

This is a fantastic cookbook. The author lays out a wide array of dishes, from appetizers to salads, to side dishes and main courses, and sets up a template for each recipe. She describes the dish and lists several proteins, grains, veggies, etc. that home cooks can choose to incorporate into their meal. Anderson also provides several of her recommended recipes - for those who aren't ready to branch off on their own yet, they can stick to her rules. But her main goal is provide a blueprint for cooks to follow to make a successful and nutritious meal.

I appreciate the level of guidance and explanation Anderson provides. She makes great suggestions about flavor and texture. I know the book is intended to give me confidence and knowledge so that I can branch off on my own with this dishes, but she has so many good suggestions and ideas, I'm considering buying this book to have on my own kitchen reference shelf.
