American Vegetarian Cookbook for Two Bucks

koland · 06-25-2010, 02:19 PM

The American Vegetarian Cookbook from the Fit for Life Kitchen, by Marilyn Diamond, is currently marked down to $1.99 in the Kindle and other ebookstores. Originally published twenty years ago, some of the early information is a bit dated (and the sample never gets past the intro info) and the product description at Amazon leaves a bit to be desired. The customer reviews, on the other hand, are positively glowing and you can use the search inside on the (now out of print) hardcover edition to check out the recipes. As it turns out, my mom has a signed copy, so I'm heading over to skim thru it before grabbing my copy. (Seriously! I called her when I saw this on sale, to see if she has it, as she has walls and walls of cookbooks. She didn't recognize the title , but was certain she had something by the author.)

Book Description
Over 500 mouth watering recipes designed to keep you and your family satisfied and enthusiastic.

Thanks, Koland! This looks pretty good. I'll be getting it when I get home and can go the the Sony store.

Buy for the recipes and take the nutritional information from their Fit For Life diet program with a grain of salt.

Yeah, the nutritional info in there is 20 years old. Quite a bit has been dis-proven about food combining (of either type). Then again, she shrugs off B12 deficiency, which can cause some permanent damages (and it's long before a recent study in England on college kids that showed brain shrinkage in vegan students over their college stays and brain growth of pretty much all other groups -- a result considered to be directly linked to the absence of B12 when needed for neural growth).

The recipes, though, seem to be pretty decent (hey, anyone that says you need butter instead of margarine can't be all bad).

Well, yeah, the nutritional info is way out of date, and was a bit "out there" even at the time. But 2 bucks for the recipes is still a good deal, even if they do need to be tweaked a bit here and there. I tweak most if not all recipes, so to me that kinda goes without saying.
