From Publishers Weekly
You don't have to be a vegetarian to be tempted by these 74 menus, comprising 250 recipes for quick, informal and elegant meals, summer fare, breakfasts and brunches. A cooking instructor at Manhattan's New School for Social Research, Lemlin presents nutritionally and esthetically balanced menus from a variety of culinary traditions. She specializes in creative mixed marriages, such as tofu francese with artichoke hearts, whereincombining Italian and Chinese styleschunks of tofu are dipped in an egg batter and sauteed, then cooked in a lemon, butter and white-wine sauce with artichokes. This excellent resource will help readers appreciate vegetarian cooking for the adventurous and satisfying cuisine it can be, offering such possibilities as iced plum soup, black bean and cream cheese enchiladas, and baked macaroni and cheese with cauliflower and jalapeno peppers. Recipes for basics (perfect brown rice, pesto) and the glossary will be particularly useful to the uninitiated. Illustrations not seen by PW. BOMC/Cooking & Crafts Club and Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book Club alternates.

Drawing from the many cultures that have long traditions of vegetable and vegetarian cooking (as America has not), Jeanne Lemlin, the inspired teacher at The New School's cooking center in New York, has created her own adventurous cooking style, mingling the tastes of many different countries and orchestrating the flavors into menus that are light, colorful, and satisfying ~ pleasing both to the palate and to one's sense of well~being. For example The oriental soybean curd, tofu, takes on an Italian accent when dipped into a batter, then sauteed and served in a zesty artichoke, lemon, and white wine sauce. Spaghetti squash is dressed with a broccoli butter sauce. Indonesian tempeh is married to French cuisine in a Mediterranean salade nicoise An eggplant dip is heady with Indian spices Polenta is accented with pesto and baked as a souffle. And there are pastas and lo mein noodles, samosas and pancakes, risottos and corn dumplings, curries and croquettes, savory bean dishes and pilafs . and more and more. A deliciously satisfying soup will sometimes be the centerpiece of a Jeanne Lemlin meal, particularly when accompanied by one of her homemade breads (there is a chapter devoted just to soups and breads) She takes particular delight in homey desserts like rhubarb cobbler and honey bread pudding with apricot sauce, and she relishes the occasional temptations of a maple pecan pie or an elegant peach almond torte. But such riches are preceded by delicate main course dishes, and she ends many a meal with good fresh fruit and old fashioned cookies. As a seasoned cooking teacher, Jeanne Lemlin understands what American home cooks want today ~ not just vegetarian cooks but all who delight in fresh vegetables, lighter foods, exciting new tastes, and the pleasure to be found in eating well, eating healthily, and celebrating life. With more than 30 drawings by Rita Grasso Pocock. Seller Inventory # 3171801
