Vegetarian cooking has come of age. Whereas most early vegetarian cookbooks paid little or no attention to fat content (high-calorie nuts and cheeses were routinely substituted for meat), this book does. Fresh produce and ingredients that are low in fat yield tasty dishes. Recipes are easy and quick, require no special cooking techniques, and are suitable for casual entertaining as well as family dining. Many can be made ahead of time. Sixteen chapters include tested recipes for:
-- Fruit Empanadas
-- Hot 'n Spicy Bean and Vegetable Stew
-- Spinach-Mushroom Rotolo with Marinara Sauce
-- Cucumber and Sorrel Soup
-- Light Minestrone
-- Rustic Country Fruit Tart

Perfect for serious vegetarians, sometime vegetarians, future vegetarians, and anyone who wants to adopt a healthier lifestyle by eating less meat, 1,001 Low-Fat Vegetarian Recipes is a welcome addition to the cookbook shelf.
