Venturesome Vegetarian Cooking: Bold Flavors for Meat- and Dairy-Free Meals

Book Description
Venturesome Vegetarian Cooking busts the veggie mold, focusing on flavor and innovative recipes, rather than on philosophy and persuading tofu to taste like tenderloin. These are great recipes that just happen to be vegetarian.

This mother-son team offers more than 150 recipes (and more than 100 color photographs) that are simple enough to pull together during the week, yet daring and delicious enough for dinner parties. This is vegetarian cooking for people who love to eat. Packed with advice for keeping cooking easy, efficient and always an adventure, the book includes a world of meat- and dairy-free meals drawn from the authors' culinary explorations-Spanakopita from Greece, Crostini and pasta from Italy, Pad Thai and aromatic soups from Thailand, Sushi and earthy noodle dishes from Japan, and plenty of comforting favorites from home like Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Fluffy Biscuits, Rich Gravy and Thick Corn Chowder.
