^[1]A Rich Harvest of Wit, Lore and Recipes
^[2]
When Vegetariana was first released in 1984, its first major review predicted that it would “prove itself a classic”—and it has. With quotations, folklore, and literary tidbits, this wittily illustrated celebration of vegetarianism delights the eye as well as the palate. With more than 230 recipes, this updated edition is as much fun to cook from as it is to read.

Praise for the original edition:
