Title: My copy is tattered!
Product review: I am not a vegetarian, but I have two sons who have been vegetarians since they were very young. I wish this book had been available then! I've owned this book for nine years, and I can honestly say that every dish I've made using it has been delicious. I could wish, however, that Ms. Madison's recipes were a little better organized--Julia Child's recipes are (to me) the gold standard for completeness and organization, and "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" doesn't quite meet that test. It is also true that Ms. Madison uses ingredients not universally available, that she does not refrain from the use of butter and cream (a health, not a philosophical issue for me), and that her tone can be precious. The first two of these deficiencies can be made good by the enterprising home cook, and the last can be ignored--the results are worth it!
