If you aren’t such a fan of spicy flavor as we are then you may well enjoy this book. Certainly if you feel nervous every time you step into a kitchen and would like a good source of vegetarian food, then by all means start here. Ms. Madison’s simple directions could turn anyone into a cook, even a few hopelessly kitchen-inept people I know.

This is a fantastic cookbook, whether or not you’re a vegetarian (we aren’t, and we love it!).
