I recently acquired this book (second hand) and have lots of recipes marked to try. And i have been cooking from it quite a bit.

So far I find that many recipes just seem to miss the mark somehow, not being quite balanced and needing some added tweaking and adjustments. Still, it is a great source of basic ideas for vegetarian meals. Just be prepared to make lots of adjustments.
