(The photo of Spinach Lasagna with Roasted Cauliflower Ricotta & Spinach is jaw-droppingly spectacular.) The 14-page insert of full-color photographs will make your mouth water, even if you're not hungry and will inspire you to roll up your sleeves and get cooking. You won't find any tempting desserts in this book, but what you will find are more than 270 pages of super-satisfying soups, salads, sandwiches, sides, stews, bakes, bowls, casseroles, curries, and pasta dishes, many with whimsical names like Unfried Refried Beans, Cajun Beanballs and Spaghetti, and 2nd Avenue Vegetable Korma residing in equally adorable-sounding chapters like 'Rub-Your-Tummy Veggies' and 'Talk Pasta to Me (& Noodles!).' These dishes are made with easy-to-find ingredients, and you won't have to spend hours in the kitchen preparing them (many can be made in under 30 minutes!).

The introduction to each recipe is sprinkled with amusing tidbits like 'Don't be like Dick Cheney, cook your pasta properly!' This will make you smile a lot, which is a very good thing to do when you're playing with food. But let's be honest: Who among us hasn't eaten more than our fair share of vegan cupcakes and cookies? (Thanks in no small part to Isa.)Īfter all that indulgence, I celebrate Isa Chandra Moskowitz for creating Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes * and for filling it with so many gorgeous, delicious, low-fat, low-calorie, winning recipes.ĪFR is written in Isa's characteristic easy, breezy style,-and it's peppered with lots of helpful sidebars, like the 'Ingredient Scavenger Hunt'. Actually, she wrote it for her own personal reasons. I adore the cover artwork, don't you? It's so beautiful, I'm inspired to write another book just so I can ask Lisa Diercks to design the cover. Did I mention that Isa wrote this book just for me? Well, not really.
