"The words healthy, delicious, and easy have been central themes for the recipes we've developed." These are recipes your whole family will enjoy.

Melina and Forest have combined their skills as a registered dietitian and chef to create innovative recipes that deliver complete vegetarian nutrition with fabulous flavor. Cooking Vegetarian features more than 150 recipes from breakfast to special occasions, including:
* Roasted Garlic and Yam Spread

* Currant and Cumin Pilaf

The Introduction to the book is by Ron Pickarski, the first professional chef to win the a gold medal at the prestigious Culinary Olympics in Germany. Chocolate Cream Couscous Cake is one of his outstanding recipes, that he allowed us to include in our book.

"As he explains in Cooking Vegetarian, he left the restaurant and hotel industry because he grew increasingly uncomfortable preparing rich and fatty foods – his own father died of a massive heart attack at age 50 – and now advocates a more healthful way of eating."
