A James Beard Foundation Book Award Winner! What Julia Child is to French cooking, Deborah Madison is to vegetarian cooking - a demystifier and definitive guide to the subject. After her many years as a teacher and writer, she realized that there was no comprehensive primer for vegetarian cooking, no single book that taught vegetarians basic cooking techniques, how to combine ingredients, and how to present vegetarian dishes with style. VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR EVERYONE teaches readers how to build flavor into vegetable dishes, how to develop vegetable stocks, and how to choose, care for, and cook the many vegetables available to cooks today. VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR EVERYONE is in every way Deborah Madison's magnum opus, featuring 1,400 recipes suitable for committed vegetarians, vegans (in most cases), and everyone else who loves good food. This is the 10th anniversary edition of that landmark cookbook that has more than 325,000 copies in print. It includes a new introduction from Deborah Madison herself.
