Hailed as "a more hip Joy of Cooking" by the Washington
Post, Mark Bittman's award-winning book How to Cook
Everything has become the bible for a new generation of home
cooks, and the series has more than 1 million copies in
print. Now, with How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian, Bittman
has written the definitive guide to meatless meals-a book
that will appeal to everyone who wants to cook simple but
delicious meatless dishes, from health-conscious omnivores
to passionate vegetarians.
How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian includes more than 2,000
recipes and variations-far more than any other vegetarian
cookbook. As always, Bittman's recipes are refreshingly
straightforward, resolutely unfussy, and unfailingly
delicious-producing dishes that home cooks can prepare with
ease and serve with confidence. The book covers the whole
spectrum of meatless cooking-including salads, soups, eggs
and dairy, vegetables and fruit, pasta, grains, legumes,
tofu and other meat substitutes, breads, condiments,
desserts, and beverages. Special icons identify recipes that
can be made in 30 minutes or less and in advance, as well as
those that are vegan. Illustrated throughout with handsome
line illustrations and brimming with Bittman's lucid,
opinionated advice on everything from selecting vegetables
to preparing pad Thai, How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian
truly makes meatless cooking more accessible than ever.

widely respected food writers. With How to Cook Everything,
he has rekindled enthusiasm for cooking in a new generation
of Americans, and his weekly New York Times column, "The
Minimalist," has had similar impact.
