Overview
When I first gave up meat, I discovered I didn't know how to prepare vegetarian meals. It became necessary to learn how to make a variety of dishes so I wouldn't drown in pasta with marinara sauce; as much as I love it. Most of the recipes in this book are easy and can be made in a short amount of time. A few recipes require a little time and patience, but as my family-and probably yours-can tell you, some of the best things in life are worth waiting for. Or, as Julia Child put it, "Non-cooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, well, so is the ballet." So pour a glass of wine (or tea, as the case may be) and take your senses on a journey of classic and ancient culinary delights. I share with you the precious offerings of my family and our culture.Synopsis
