My Favorite Go-To Book I recommend
I've got all of Linda's books now, culminating in the one "Tour: 200 dishes from around the world.' Boy, she really had a grip on great food, taste, ease of cooking, and health in her family by showing them, "No, we're NOT going to eat our lambs." When this book first came out, I got it and she is the one who taught me, "you don't need meat to make it taste good."Her daughter, Mary, has come out with a book of her own, "Food," and it's clear "like mother like daughter." I had to get that one, too, although her 'mum's' recipes are repeated here and there.If you're new to vegetarian cooking, I strongly recommend this book. Then move on to Linda's other cookbooks. You won't be sorry. To this day, my husband would swear some of my (Linda's) meals have meat and he loves them. HA!Miss you, Linda, but we're keeping you alive here by cooking up your recipes!

A whole vegetarian family cooking course!
I wanted the Paul McCartney connection as one of the first vegetarians of which I became aware. I wondered what his beloved wife fed her family and this is that book. It is a treasure of recipes and more. I will pass it on to my vegetarian daughter when she has someone(s) to feed. They are old recipes and that is what I liked. A bit of British fare, with foods from the worldwide travels thrown in. A Classic cookbook for middle-aged vegetarians is what I'd call it.

Old but good
I got this from a church thrift shop, but the copy was very fragrant and I have MCS, so I gave that one away and bought a newer one from AMAZON. ITs full of great vegetarian recipes. Chapters cover spices, nuts seeds, grains legumes, herbs, tools and chosing vegetables including when to buy, how to store beyond best cooking methods.This was published in 89, when my 25 year old was born, but information is still valid and helpful.Every fourth page or so has a full page photo of a dish. Linda is a photographer. Her marriage to beatle Paul, is not flaunted and barely mentioned. Her family was into food before her marriage so its not like her wealth gave her idle time to delve into cooking. It's downfall is that the recipes don't include nutritional content charts, but she add vitamin/mineral/protein content as a one line sentence.... "good source of vitamin A, fiber and protein" for example. The book ends with conversion tables and a good index.

Great for the Single Guy!
First, unlike most specialty cookbooks, this one doesn't require exotic spices or anything you couldn't find at your local grocery. I have tried the Italian Sausage from Morning Star, as I wanted to try an old recipe of sausages and peppers, and I honestly could not taste any difference. I will say that the sausages are not as plump as Johnsonville Italian Sausage, but I think they were actually cheaper. TVP, which she mentions a lot, stands for textured vegetable protein. There is also a ground hamburger substitute (Boca) that I believe is roughly the same price as regular hamburger. I plan on trying this next, if only for spaghetti meatballs.If your single, busy, and don't have time to spend hours cooking, this is for you. The recipes are simple and not time consuming.

Some Discrepancies
Love this cookbook. Easy veggie recipes, however, Linda uses dairy and eggs. Also, she uses Worcestershire sauce which contains anchovies. So, if you are a true vegetarian, some adjustments must be made. Regardless, the dishes are indeed hearty.
