This book is wonderful. The recipe's are all vegetarian, actually ovo-vegan (No Dairy but does eat eggs) and I have tried several of them so far and they are wonderful. There is also a summary at the beginning of the book of products used that alot of people will not be familiar with and the pictures throughout the book are absolutely wonderful.
All the proceeds of the book go to the Imus Ranch. After reading many of the stories in the cookbook from the kids who have stayed there (who are quite often terminally ill and/or fighting other tremendous obstacles) they seem so excited because they are taught all about hard work on the ranch, and the importance of healthy eating and living in a healthy environment - the ranch is completely organic and chemical free. The expereince sounds wonderful and appears to be very, very positvie for the kids who participate.
The recipes are GREAT and being that the proceeds go to such a wonderful cause I think overall this will become one of my favorite cookbooks and I plan to use it time and time again.
