I received the Vita-Mixer from my sister but she couldn't find the book on it. This book will help me learn how to use it and it has alot of recipes to try. Was so glad to find it since the company stopped printing the book in 1994.

This book is a wonderful cookbook with ideas for all different courses and baking.  I know it will come in handy when I entertain friends who have issues not only with soy and gluten but eggs and dairy as well.  So far everything I have made has been delicious - the latest the cranberry-walnut cookies.

This book is absolutely amazing! It is loaded with all sorts of uses for cooking oil that all sound delicious, although I've tried, very few because I have not had the book downloaded for that long, though I uses in these pages for cooking with coconut oil that I never even thought of, such as using it for waffles and hamburgers. That is pure genius. As someone that likes to cook and expand my recipes and knowledge of food. I'm always looking for healthier and alternative ways of comparing my favorite dishes. And this book has definitely gone a long way towards doing that. I can't wait to try out all these recipes, and maybe do a little research and come up with a few of my own from now on my pantry is always going to be the stocked with a bottle of coconut oil.

All the recipes in this book are easy to understand and follow. There are plenty of good quality pictures of the finished dishes, which allowed me to make sure that I was on the right track. All of the recipes seem to be thoroughly tested as the few that I've tried thus far. Tasted absolutely delicious, I look forward to trying the rest of the recipes for myself. I guarantee if you are a foodie, you will be amazed at how versatile, coconut oil can be and you will not be disappointed in this recipe book.

This wonderful book took all the mystery out of cooking with all types of beans, peas and lentils.  The recipes are versatile, nutritious and extremely simple to prepare.  The authors' blurb  at the beginning of each recipe is informative and quite often humourous.  The Leek & Lentil Soup (page 28) has now become a weekly favourite of both my family and co-workers!! And as a final added bonus, the binding lies flat on the counter for easy reading while cooking. What more could a busy chef ask for?!

Just got the book and haven't cooked from it yet. In browsing through, I found it to be the encyclopedic  reference cookbook that I was looking for (sort of a Joy of Cooking for vegetarians), with lots of feasible recipes for dishes that my mostly-vegan family will eat and detailed instructions for buying, storing and  and use of various ingredients.  There are so many delicious-sounding recipes, I can hardly wait to try them.  (Plum-Rosemary Upside-Down Cake,  with alternate options for Fresh Pineapple, Berry, Apple, Ginger-Peach, Pear-Almond, Fresh fruit sorbet + a 2-page chart of variations), Crackers (easy basic recipe with 12 suggested alternate ingredients), Hand-made Fresh Pasta (with a chart of alternate grains to include), Eggless Pasta Dough, 8 ways to flavor pasta dough (including chocolate, herb and  mushroom add-ins), Fried Tofu Wontons with Chives and Ginger, sushi, tamales, naan bread, a full chapters on grains, legumes, salads, soups (including Pho), desserts, beverages (including smoothies and coffee ), a 54-page chapter on Sauces, Condiments, Herbs and Spices, and so much more in its 832 pages that I can't begin to list more than a small percentage of the surprising contents.  I'll be turning to this book first, before digging through my other cookbooks or searching the internet for recipes.

This is a revolution in cookbooks, geared completely toward the busy family cook who wants the best tips for quick, painless, delicious meals to put on the table.  The set up is beautiful, with sections geared toward your cooking mood.  Have a lot of time, why not do cook-ahead preparations for the week?  Short on time- go for the main ingredient based section to see what you can whip up.  The recipes are inventive, flavorful, and give lots of wiggle room (aka variation ideas) to work with.

Some vegetarians can live on grilled cheese and French-fries. Others I swear must bottle their own wine. Some of us have to work of a living and need something quick and simple yet at the same time divers. This book fits that criterion.

It contains step-by-step instructions - over 70 recipes - each recipe photographed
I tried a few of these recipes and they actually end up looking like the photographs.

Easy to follow recipes covering starters, entrees and desserts.
The desserts were my favourite - I'm keen to try out the 'strawberry-almond cream tart' tonight!

101 Quick-Fire Recipes for Vegans is an awesome book! This book contains a wide range of recipes that can be made quickly, all within 20 minutes or less. I really enjoy the variety of recipes that the book includes. It has recipes in the following categories: smoothies, snacks, appetizers, pasta, burgers and sandwiches, stews and soups, salads, sauces, extras such as various sauces, relishes and rices, beverages and desserts. As a busy working professional and mother, I just love that I can easily make these recipes in a pinch and also that I do not need to go to Whole Foods first to hunt down some exotic ingredients, many I already have on hand. I really enjoy the smoothies, as they are quick and easy for an on-the-go breakfast. My favorite recipes so far are the Super Banana Bread Smoothie, Blueberry Muffin Smoothie and The No-Bake Almond Protein Bars. I highly recommend this book, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

You hear Better Homes And Gardens and know is going to be done well.  Why would a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook be any different.  Better Homes and Gardens Baking: Everything You Need to Know to Bake Like a Pro is just that.  Besides the over four hundred recipes and beautiful photographs that have you drooling in anticipation, there are numerous techniques discussed and shown to give an amateur the ability to produce a product that can rival a professional's.

Now to discuss those over 400 recipes...  Just from a picture I was drawn to make Sticky Pecan Upside-Down Baby Cakes.  Let me tell you that these little cakes will be perfect for making uniform serving sizes, that is if you can manage to stop at just one.  If that doesn't do it for you try the Make It Your Own Oatmeal Cookies.  With a wide variety of optional ingredients you will soon have a new favorite.  Discussions on mixing methods, utensils and pan forms, not to mention the results of using the different fat, sweeteners or dairy sources for the different needs of the varied recipes.

Better Homes and Gardens Baking: Everything You Need to Know to Bake Like a Pro is so much more than just a cookbook.  Buy yourself a copy to keep hand when you want to bake and have everyone ask where on earth you purchased that pie, cake or tart.  When they find out you made it yourself they will be asking you for your recipe.  What you tell them is up to you.

I recently planned the menu for my wedding reception, and I asked the bartender to mix one of the drinks from this book as our signature cocktail: The Pacific Star (pg. 106...it's a clever blend of white cranberry juice, vodka, orange curacao, lychee syrup, lemon juice, and champagne, finished off with a slice of starfruit for garnish).  The cocktail was originally created by the author of 101 Champagne Cocktails for The Four Seasons Maui.  It's unique and absolutely delicious.  I know all of our guests will be thrilled.  I have purchased several cocktail books in the past, but this one surpasses them all. The recipes are very straightforward, and something even a novice could create, but the result is spectacular every time.  The author compiled a fabulous mix of her own recipes, and those of other master mixologists (such as the Ritz Cocktail  on page 15).  Every recipe I have mixed so far has dazzled my guests.  I highly recommend this for anyone in search of delightful drink recipes that are truly one-of-a-kind.
