Totally Vegetarian: Easy, Fast, Comforting Cooking for Every Kind of Vegetarian [Anglais] [Relié]

This all-purpose vegetarian cookbook from the host of the PBS series Delicious TV's Totally Vegetarian offers about 200 accessible recipes—from appetizers (Fried Polenta Squares; Roasted Eggplant Caviar) to sweet finishes (Maple-Baked Pears; Nutty Shortbread Cookies; Banana-Chocolate Chip Cake). Fiore's reassuring voice makes even the (somewhat) complicated dishes seem doable; lots of variety in the ingredients and flavors make the book a handy resource for vegetarians in need of daily ideas. Some of those ideas fall into the obvious: of course there are recipes for Lentil Stew and Seared Tofu, and a few too many rely on mock meat and fish products. But there are plenty of innovative dishes along the lines of Black-Eyed Pea and Arugula Salad with Honey Vinaigrette, and Rosemary-Roasted Winter Vegetables for anyone wanting to stay interested in meat-free cuisine—as well as helpful adaptations to inspire vegans, too.

From the host of PBS's popular Delicious TV all-vegetarian cooking show--fantastic vegetarian home cooking, focusing on fresh ingredients, great flavor, and no-fuss preparation.

The health benefits of vegetarianism are well known, but to many, the art of easily preparing tasty vegetarian food remains a mystery. With PBS's Totally Vegetarian, Toni Fiore, herself a vegetarian for nearly twenty years, has become one of America's most trusted guides to fast, flavorful, and comforting vegetarian cooking.

Now, in her first-ever cookbook, Fiore presents 200 recipes that emphasize healthy, delicious, and easy-to-prepare food using familiar and readily available ingredients-- whether you're cooking for vegans, vegetarians, or carnivores. Fiore is particularly gifted at formulating great-tasting vegetarian adaptations of popular classics--dishes like tempeh fajitas, veggie potstickers, eggplant "meatballs," polenta con funghi porcini, potato sage pizza, and easy spicy tofu roll up--that can be made in less than thirty minutes. This is delectable vegetarian fare that longtime vegetarians, vegans, and everyone aspiring to eat less meat will enjoy preparing and savor eating.

Toni Fiore, the host of PBS's only vegetarian cooking show, is a self-taught chef who embraced Mediterranean culinary techniques and philosophy while growing up in Italy and cooking for her family. She lives in Portland, Maine.
