While traveling through France with a vegetarian companion, Marlena Spieler was delighted to discover an often-overlooked meatless French cuisine, rooted in regional traditions and preserved in the small, family owned neighborhood restaurants that are the soul of Gallic cooking. In The Vegetarian Bistro, she shares her delicious discoveries. Here at last are vegetarian recipes - some classic, others newly adapted - for the rich gratins, flavorful appetizers, warm salads, hearty soups, lusty braises, and homey desserts of beloved French bistros, from Paris to the northern regions of Brittany and Normandy and to the southern reaches of Provence and the Basque country. Illustrated with charming watercolors by Pierre Le-Tan, The Vegetarian Bistro brings the market-fresh bounty of regional French cooking into your own kitchen.

A good French bistro may earn its renown for steak and pommes frites, but the best bistros have plenty of menu items that classify in the vegetarian category. Spieler appreciates the care that bistros take with vegetables, and her book elevates what are commonly side dishes to the status of entrees. Spieler offers some superior salads, both familiar cold salads as well as warm ones that combine cool, crisp greens with freshly cooked hot items, such as potatoes or cheese. For decades, great French restaurants have known that the secret to making vegetables memorable lies in dressing each vegetable separately and distinctively to make each a unique presentation. Spieler heeds that custom and also puts forth omelets, rissotos, and pastas to increase the substance of vegetarian dining. The current success of bistros in the U.S. and renewed interest in vegetarian cooking will create demand for Spieler's authentic recipes. Mark Knoblauch
