1,000 Vegetarian Recipes

By: Carol Gelles

Julia Child Cookbook Award and James Beard Award winner. “Actually several cookbooks in one, this encyclopedic volume has it all.”—New York Daily News Get enough recipes to fill 5 cookbooks in one comprehensive volume! 216 Side Dishes 61 Breads 70 Breakfasts, Brunches, and Lunches 91 Appetizers 137 Salads 152 Main Dishes And Much, Much More! Carol Gelles, one of the best-known authorities on the subject, offers hundreds of appetizers, entrees, soups, salads, and more, proving that vegetarian cuisine is anything but boring. The flavor combinations are limitless, drawing on the ingredients and spices from every international cuisine. Discussions of vegetables, grains, beans, and soy foods are interspersed throughout the recipes, making the book easy enough for beginners to follow. And every recipe is coded as lacto-vegetarian (some dairy products), ovo-vegetarian (some egg products), or vegan (made without dairy or meat products). “Addressing the needs of the beginner, the part-timer, and the fully committed vegetarian, this cookbook is a must-have.”—Cooking Light Magazine “Good basics for the aspiring vegetarian, innovative recipes that will appeal to long-time ardent vegetarians, and plenty for everyone in between.”—New York Daily News “The best things about the book are the diversity of recipes and the book’s awesome organizational scheme. It includes every major course in American cuisine from the appetizer to the dessert. Gelles also makes a point to include many different ethnic foods . . . excellent for the beginning vegetarian chef.”—The Veggie Space

Spare Parts

In Praise of Your Appendix and Other Unappreciated Organs

By: Carol Ann Rinzler

A tribute to the parts we can live without... or can we? This book sheds light on human body parts once considered extraneous but now – with modern medicine and modern medical paraphernalia – shown to play an important role in our healthful survival. With wit and research-honed wisdom, health writer Carol Ann Rinzler explains in layman's language why we need “bonus” body parts such as: The appendix, once discarded as “the worm of the intestines,” but now believed to play an important role in our immune system The coccyx, a.k.a. the “tailbone,” once considered the remnant of a human tail, but now considered the keystone of the boney pelvic arch when muscles meet and stabilize our seating Wisdom teeth, that “extra” set of molars for which many “evolved” human jaws lack accommodating space but still remain in place where we higher primates still follow a basic “hard”diet that require extra chew power On the other hand, having highlighted the still-important parts, Rinzler adds a chapter on dispensables: parts with which we can indeed happily dispense. Along the way, Rinzler weaves in Darwin’s theories of evolution and shares insights on what the human body may be like millennia from now.
