I have tons of vegetarian cookbooks having been a vegetarian for over 18 years and this if definitely one of my favorites. The recipes are easy to follow and taste great. Being pregnant, I love the fact that each recipe comes with nutritional information so I know just how much protein and iron I'm getting in a meal. There are several recipes that are quick and easy to make and also several that can be frozen and reheated later. This is now the first cookbook I reach for. My husband who is a vegetarian in training loves the meals too! There is a lot of variety and most of the recipes don't require a lot of exotic ingredients that you can only find in specialty stores as is the case with some vegetarian cookbooks. You'll enjoy these recipes whether you are pregnant, nursing or just love good vegetarian food! Can't speak highly enough about this cookbook. I buy tons of books from Amazon and have never written a review but this cookbook was too good to leave unreviewed!
