Reviews
"An invaluable aid in my quest to add meatless main dishes to our weekly menu planning."-- Rich Hines, Christian Science Monitor "Chesman educates and adds to the vegetarian repertoire. Many of the recipes represent rather innovative first-of-their-kind dishes or almost infinite (and unusual) variations on a standard."-- Barbara Jacobs, Booklist, "An invaluable aid in my quest to add meatless main dishes to our weekly menu planning."-- Rich Hines, Christian Science Monitor "Chesman educates and adds to the vegetarian repertoire.
