This is a truly wonderful cookbook. I turn to it again and again. It has recipes that range from simple to quite complex, and some of them are pure gems. The tricolor pate is simply one of the finest recipes I've ever encountered and worth the price of the book alone. The tofu quiche is the best I've ever made, and can be varied in many ways. This book expanded my use of some less-used, though still common, herbs and spices. I discovered a love of marjoram, summer savory, and ginger used in unusual ways from its pages.br /br /I could go on for paragraphs singing the praises of this vegan cookbook. And, I'm not even a vegetarian! Buy it. Your taste buds will thank you. br /br /One caveat: the white bean pate is perhaps one of the worst recipes I've ever used. It's an anomaly amongst an otherwise stunning collection of healthy and original recipes.
Natural Gourmet Feature
Natural Gourmet Overview
Annemarie Colbin learned early of the important relationship between food and health: having grown up in a vegetarian household, she spent many years integrating Eastern eating philosophies with Western habits, studying the works of everyone from J.I. Rodale and George Ohsawa to Julia Child and James Beard. With The Natural Gourmet, Colbin takes her ideas about healthful eating a step further with meals that nourish body and soul, and that are elegant enough to serve to company.PThe recipes included in The Natural Gourmet are the result of a collaborative effort by Colbin and ten students from her Natural Gourmet Cookery School in Manhattan. Each recipe is classified according to the Chinese Theory of the Five Phases, making it easy to combine the various courses to create a balanced, harmonious meal. Among the delicious dishes you'll find are:BR-- Curried Apple-Squash BisqueBR-- Mushrooms Stuffed with Garlic and RosemaryBR-- San Franciscan PizzaBR-- Lissa's Homemade Black Pepper Pasta with Scallion-Butter SauceBR-- Stuffed Cabbage RollsBR-- Jalapeno Corn BreadBR-- Japanese Red Bean SoupBR-- Lentil CroquettesBR-- Potato-Cabbage Casserole with DillBR-- Black Bean Salad with Corn and Red PepperBR-- Pasta Salad with Zucchini and Chick-peasBR-- Poached Salmon Fillets with Mock HollandaiseBR-- Almond Flan with Raspberry SauceBR-- Ginger Lace CookiesBR-- Orange Loaf with WalnutsBR-- and many morePAll the recipes are in keeping with Colbin's belief that food should be whole, fresh, local, and seasonal -- and, of course, delicious. Much more than simply a cookbook, The Natural Gourmet presents a combination of food preparation and philosophy that come together in a plan for healthful and graceful living.
