Query: Truly a winner

I bought this book after it was mentioned on Mark Bittman's blog (Bitten~ 3/19/08) as one of the books to have on your cookbook shelf. Having been a vegetarian for over a decade I already have plenty of vegetarian cookbooks on my shelf but this one quickly has become my favorite. I have made at least 15 items out of the book. The recipes are innovative and combine flavors in a way that really appeals to my family and me. Some of the recipes do take longer, especially those that require that one makes a "mother sauce" or two before hand but I have yet to make a single thing that we didn't really like. Many recipes have an Asian or Southwestern influence.
