Vegetarians -- and the cookbooks they use -- have entered the American mainstream. Recent surveys say that 12.4 million Americans consider themselves vegetarian and 60 percent of all shoppers consider themselves "vegetarian aware", meaning they are conscious of the benefits of incorporating vegetarian meals into their diets. This is the comprehensive cookbook and nutritional guide that all those vegetarians and almost vegetarians will use most of all. It is bursting with menu suggestions for different dietary needs; charts devoted to vegetables, beans, fruits, grains, and soy products; advice on reading nutritional labels; hints on storing food; a kitchen utensil guide; shopping tips and lists of mail-order sources; and other useful information for the millions of Americans who have made vegetarian foods a delicious part of their lives.
