About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

A Taste of Heaven and Earth

A Taste of Heaven and Earth/a Zen Approach to Cooking and Eating With 150 Satisfying Vegetarian Recipes A Taste of Heaven and Earth/a Zen Approach to Cooking and Eating With 150 Satisfying Vegetarian Recipes by Bettina Vitell



This was a Christmas gift from my daughter in 2002. There were directions for preparing tofu for cooking I did not know before I read this book. (The family still did not like tofu after I learned to properly marinate it.) A favorite recipe was Bechamel sauce (p. 163).

I wanted to post my review before I loan this book to a friend.
I don't need the cookbook as much as I once did as all members of my family consider themselves "recovering vegetarians."

This press release is brought to you by the same
'corn growing' folks who have started airing those

They've even bought some scientists and they want
