Title: Vegetarian recipes not vegetarian
Review: The book claims to contain a section on Buddhist vegetarian cuisine, which is the only reason I bought it. Unfortunately on closer inspection I found that every single 'vegetarian' recipe contains fish sauce, oyster sauce or both (dead creatures, in case the author did not know??). Use was also made of products such as bottled Nestle Maggi sauce - clearly not real food. This is enough to tell me that the author's concept of quality food differs vastly from mine and that he probably isn't a real foodie at all - certainly not someone I would trust to give me a high quality recipe. I would love to return the book but I don't live in the States and the postage would probably cost more than the book - this is one that will sit there accumulating dust until some poor soul agrees to relieve me of it.
Is the review positive or negative?
