I picked up this book free during an Amazon giveaway. Collection of meatless recipes using Greek yogurt as the protein source.Has an interactive Table of Contents that interfaces with the Kindle navigation menu. I don't see the point in substituting vegetarian "meat" for natural meat, so scones with vegetarian "bacon" and breakfast pitas with vegetarian "sausage" didn't appeal to me at all. Nor do I consider such products "gourmet." I also had trouble when Douglass' anti-meat bias affected her presentation of facts. She complains about "dry and flavorless chicken breast" but when I cook chicken breast, it comes out tender and juicy. She states that using milk in scrambled eggs "separates and leaves a mess floating on top of the eggs." I've only been making scrambled eggs for 50 years, using various milk products, and I don't ever remember that happening. But if you are looking to add more protein to your diet, there are some interesting-looking recipes if you can pick up the book cheaply enough.
