Book Description
From Publishers Weekly
As more and more Americans choose meat-free diets, thevegetarian cookbook field grows ever more crowded, with practicalworkhorse volumes competing against gloriously photographed foodporn. This latest entry from Campbell, the
host of the PBS cookingshow Regina's Vegetarian Table, is firmly in the workhorsecategory. In 160 recipes, unadorned by illustrations, Campbell drawson culinary traditions from around the world, from Madame Bovie'sBorscht to spicy Caribbean Jerk-Style
Black Beans to Baked Samosas (arecipe for is Garam Masala included elsewhere). Some recipes, such asthe Mushrooms with Golden Tears, require only three ingredients andten minutes of prep time; others are more complicated, but nothing isout of reach for
the average home cook. The collection is organized intraditional cookbook style, by parts of a meal (from appetizers toentrees, desserts to beverages) rather than types of cuisine. Itconcludes with Campbell's explanations of various world cuisines andone
sample menu for each, but it doesn't include much guidance forcreating other menus or even explain if a recipe is Mexican orSouthwestern. Fans of Campbell's show will like this book, but othersmay be find her anecdotes and her breezy conversational tone
a bitprecious.
