Editorial Reviews

In a country whose cuisine is as regionally diverse as America's, it's no surprise that vegetarian cooking across the U.S.A. can mean anything from a Creole Eggplant Soufflé to Corn-Stuffed Peppers to Boston Cranberry Pie. Great American Vegetarian Cookbook has collected more than 500 recipes like these that reflect every region of the country, including New England, the South, Pennsylvania Dutch country, the Southwest, and the "heartland" of the Midwest.
