The word vegetarian, coined by the founders of the British Vegetarian Society in 1842, comes from the Latin word vegetus, meaning "whole, sound, fresh, or lively," as in homo vegetus-a mentally and physically vigorous person. The original meaning of the word implies a balanced philosophical and moral sense of life, a lot more than just a diet of vegetables and fruits.

After eating at a temple for the first time I was hooked. I had to know how they do it (with the food). My joke for a while was "if you religious society made food this good I'd join them, but they don't." The recipes in this books are easy and I will be using it for years to come.

Absolutely love this cookbook. The recipes are very easy to follow. The first few chapters give a brilliant description as to why a vegetarian diet is the way to go in todays society. Colour plates in the middle of the book entice the reader and budding chef to try the recipes. The vegetarian lasagna is amazing! I recommend this book to anybody starting out on their vegetarian journey or to seasoned vegetarians. A terrific book!
