The Ultimate Vegetarian Cookbook

By Roz Denny
Smithmark Publishers - 1996

This was one of my first-ever cookbooks. It has lots of beautiful color pictures which seems to be a rare thing in vegetarian cookbooks. There are even pictures of many of the steps of the cooking process. That might be why a few of the recipes are hard to follow (no room for words because there are too many fancy pictures). It has a very dated early 90's feel to it now. The recipes are a bit hit-or-miss, but there are a few that I still go to fairly often.
