Vegetarian Epicure
By Anna Thomas
Vintage - 1972
This cookbook is incredibly similar to the Moosewood Cookbook. So if you like that one, you should like this one as well. The main drawback was that I often found myself wanting more precise directions both while cooking and afterwards while eating what I had made. Some of the recipes had complicated directions that did not seem worth the effort, and too many seemed to require vast quantities of dried “dark mushrooms”. Some of the recipes were heavy on dairy, but the Cauliflower Curry is a great example of a very flavorful and visually appealing dish without dairy, but with an excellent mixture of spices. There is a wide range of recipes and those we tried did turn out good tasting healthy vegetarian dishes.
