Summary: The Greens Cook Book
Comment: This book, which I purchased in 1987 when it was first published, has served as my "gold standard" for vegetarian cooking. The recipes sparkle with good flavor and visual appeal. In addition to the wonderful vegetarian dishes, the desert section is outstanding, too. The Brazilian Chocolate Cake recipe has become my husband's special birthday cake and the Toasted Almond Butter Cookies are another favorite. Give this book to anyone who likes good food, vegetarian or otherwise.

Summary: An adventure in Vegetarian Cooking
Comment: The Greens Cookbook
This is a tremendous book! I have used it consistently for the last three years and love it. It opens all sorts of culinary doors to the user/reader. The recipes, for the most part, do take time to prepare--My rule is at least one hour on preprep and one hour to cook. The results are spectacular. It is probably a better book for the experienced or adventurous cook. You do have to be willing to push the edge of the envelope and try things you might not otherwise try. One can get everything on the internet so it takes planning more than effort (I live in a rural area of southern VA with no serious grocer nearby). Highly recommended if you enjoy cooking and love depth and subtleties of excellent food.

Summary: Fantastic for fresh produce
Comment: Every recipe I tried from this book is sublime. Its fantastic when I want to make something truly gourmet from fresh homegrown or farmer's market produce. As other reviewers have said, the recipes are time consuming, not for everyday use, but for special meals.

Summary: fabulous veg based cookbook!
Comment: I have been a BIG fan of Greens for many years and until I could afford to buy my own copy of this cookbook, I regularly borrowed it from our local library. The recipes are tasty and once you've made it once, it becomes easier to make it your own and, dare I say, even add meat or tofu. The chinese noodle salad is one of the most requested recipes by our family...hope you get to enjoy it too!

Summary: Too gourmet for me!
Comment: This must be the cookbook that Marge Simpson was looking at when she saw the never-ending list of spices it called for in and proclaimed "they've got to be repeating some of these!" If you regularly keep 100 different spices, 15 vinegars, 3 cooking wines, and you grow 4 varieties of fresh herbs in your kitchen, then you should be ok. Otherwise, every recipe's going to cost you dearly while you stock your cupboards with gourmet ingredients.
