The tenth anniversary edition of this landmark cookbook, with more than 325,000 copies in print, includes a new introduction from Deborah Madison, America’s leading authority on vegetarian cooking.
What Julia Child is to French cooking, Deborah Madison is to vegetarian cooking—a demystifier and definitive guide to the subject. After her many years as a teacher and writer, she realized that there was no comprehensive primer for vegetarian cooking, no single book that taught vegetarians basic cooking techniques, how to combine ingredients, and how to present vegetarian dishes with style. Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone teaches readers how to build flavor into vegetable dishes, how to develop vegetable stocks, and how to choose, care for, and cook the many vegetables available to cooks today. Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is in every way Deborah Madison’s magnum opus, featuring 1,400 recipes suitable for committed vegetarians, vegans (in most cases), and everyone else who loves good food. For nonvegetarians, the recipes can be served alongside meat, fish, or fowl and incorporated into a truly contemporary style of eating that emphasizes vegetables and fruits for health and well-being.
Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is the most comprehensive vegetarian cookbook ever published. The recipes, which range from appetizers to desserts, are colorful and imaginative as well as familiar and comforting. Madison introduces readers to innovative main course salads; warm and cold soups; vegetable braises and cobblers; golden-crusted gratins; Italian favorites like pasta, polenta, pizza, and risotto; savory tarts and galettes; grilled sandwiches and quesadillas; and creative dishes using grains and heirloom beans. At the heart of the book is the A-to-Z vegetable chapter, which describes the unique personalities of readily available vegetables, the sauces and seasonings that best complement them, and the simplest ways to prepare them. “Becoming a Cook” teaches cooking basics, from holding a knife to planning a menu, and “Foundations of Flavor” discusses how to use sauces, herbs, spices, oils, and vinegars to add flavor and character to meatless dishes. In each chapter, the recipes range from those suitable for everyday dining to dishes for special occasions. And through it all, Madison presents a philosophy of cooking that is both practical and inspiring.
Despite its focus on meatless cooking, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is not just for vegetarians—it's for everyone interested in learning how to cook vegetables creatively, healthfully, and passionately. The recipes are remarkably straightforward, using easy-to-find ingredients in inspiring combinations. Some are simple, others more complex, but all are written with an eye toward the seasonality of produce. Madison's joyful and free-spirited approach to cooking will send you into the kitchen with confidence and enthusiasm. Whether you are a kitchen novice or an experienced cook, this wonderful cookbook has something for everyone.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great cookbook! -
I have a large variety of cookbooks, but this one offers many different recipes and ways to try new foods or new preparations of familiar foods. I am not vegetarian, but I love vegetables, and everything I have tried in this book is just great. Especially loved her take on eggplant parmesan, as did the rest of my (non-veggie-loving) family. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to find new and creative ways to prepare vegetables, as well as experiment with things like quinoa or tofu.

Just a Great Cookbook -
I was looking for some recipes to add variety to the menu and to provide some new ideas for using vegetables. Every recipe I've tried to so far has worked wonderfully. The recipes are not too difficult, and the flavors have been really nice. I would recommend this book to anyone. I'm really happy with it.
A staple for EVERY kitchen! -
We have had this book for about 8 months now and have really come to rely on this book not only for recipes, but for reference as well. There is a very good reason why this book is in it's 10th edition, winning the James Beard Foundation Book award and getting so many rave reviews. Only a well rounded cook can produce recipes that actually appeal to such a wide variety of cooks (hence the name, 'Vegetarian Cooking for EVERYONE'). Since this is a book review and not a personality assessment (one other reviewer purported Mrs. Madison is not a 100% vegetarian, ***if that's true***) this book serves us well by offering truly tasteful, healthy recipes that we can enjoy either as a main course or side dish. It also provides our cookbook library a great comprehensive reference book for a variety of topics from learning more about no-so-commonly used veggies to tried and true techniques in creating the perfect accompaniments. Well done Mrs. Madison!!!
Love It, But Deborah... -
I admit I love the cookbook. The pancake recipe is probably the best I've ever tried, and there is so much more. Every recipe I've tried is delicious, and she offers many alternative preparations for each recipe.
But, I heard the author speak at a bookstore, and she was very condescending to vegans. Maybe she ran into a few annoying ones in her time, but in my humble opinion, most are not. And she divulged that she's not even vegetarian, but is forced by her publishing company to produce veg cookbooks only. How disappointing!
So I begrudgingly say, yes, it's a good cookbook.

A Cookbook for the Inquisitive - and the strong! - 
Do buy this book if you have a lot of time to experiment, love to read, and have good upper-body strength. This is a HEAVY book! Right up there with Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian." Want to exercise, but have no weights? Problem solved with these books!
That said, Deborah Madison's book merits your attention both for its basic instructional values and for its recipes, which are at once understandable and good-tasting - usually. It is fair to say that among her seemingly endless recipes, some are - please forgive - rather bland. But hey, you do know how to spice things up, don't you? For the timid, there's great "how to" guidance, so be not afraid.
If all you want is a day-by-day recipe list, look elsewhere. But if you want to find a wealth of information about herbs, spices and food preparation, this is vegetarian cooking 101.
I thought the book might wind up either on the coffee table or in what my wife calls "cookbook hell" in the kitchen. Nope. I use it every day, and never tire of Ms. Madison's gentle persuasion. Heck, vegetables never tasted so good!
