This is a well written cookbook containing a significant number of unique and original recipes.It is well organized into chapters with the chapters having a second table of contents to the recipes within them. The recipes (generally) use easy to find ingredients. All recipes are made from scratch. While you might choose to use canned variations, you will receive complete cooking instructions, including soaking of beans prior to cooking them. It even includes food values at the end of each recipe.It is also important to note that each recipe offers a non vegetarian addition if you want to incorporate meat into it.I found a number of recipes that are worth trying, including "Shepherd's Bean Pie" and "Lima Bean, Egg, and Potato Salad." What a perfect way to add protein to potato salad!While I do disagree a bit with the author about the statistics related to irradiating meat - which is uncommon in the United States, in fact imported fruits and vegetables are much more likely to be irradiated - my five stars are based on the recipe sections themselves.
