(More customer reviews)A vegetarian for over twenty years and mother of three children, Linda Haynes has lots of experience in preparing vegetarian lunches.She shares her expertise in The Vegetarian Lunchbasket, a collection of over 225 mouth-watering recipes.Her book was first published in 1990, and updatedin 1994 and 1999 to reflect changes in nutritional information andavailability of products. Haynes developed most of her recipes throughexperimentation.That enables her to advise readers which ingredients maybe replaced with substitutes to accommodate different tastes and budgets. She also shares stories of her experiences, like learning that there is adifference between baking yeast and brewer's yeast when it comes to makingbread.At all times, she emphasizes the practical, both in ingredients andtechniques. The first chapter provides an amazing variety of recipesfor breads and sandwich wrappers.A simple one is lightly steamed cabbageleaves.The next chapter is full of even more suggestions for fillings andspreads. Many of the soups and thermos foods are designed to be madethe night before, to provide a delicious evening meal, with leftoversheated for the next day's lunches.The salad and salad dressing recipesallow you toleave wilted lettuce drenched in runny dressing behindforever.Main dishes like "Tofu Telephones" or "SomewhatKnishes" also work well for a meal the night before with leftoversgoing into the next day's lunch boxes or on a family picnic. Thecondiments and snacks chapter includes items like nut milkand yogurtchips (both incredibly simple to make!).As does most writers ofcookbooks, Haynes ends with a chapter on desserts. She maintains therichness, but makes her desserts a bit more healthy with tricks like a tofusubstitute for eggs, and pureed vegetables for liquids. Althoughnutritious and healthy, the recipes are all tasty.Practicing vegetariansand those curious about what vegetarians can eat other than lettuce andcarrot stickswill find a wealth of practical and easy recipes in TheVegetarian Lunchbasket.Although some recipes include dairy products, manyare suitable for vegans.And don't be fooled by the title--mostof therecipes makes equally tasty main meals!
