I am not a chef. This book was for my wife, who is. She saw this book at a friends house and was attracted to it, initially, because of its attractive illustrations and because of the fame of the restaurant it reflects. On looking into it more carefully, she was impressed with its innovative recipes. We have many cook books, but this one is a valuable addition to our collection. Now that we've had it for a while, I have been the beneficiary of some of these recipes. The few meals we've had using these recipes have been quite impressive. We're not vegetarians, but we do like good vegetable constructs. These are sophisticated and delicious dishes. My wife is pleased with the book and I am pleased with the meals she has produced using it. I can recommend Chez Pansisse Vegetables to all lovers of fine food, particularly those concerned about their cardiovascular health and epicurean experiences.Read full review
I was looking for a vegetarian cookbook for a present and was attracted by the exquisite illustrations, but the recipes looked so delicious, too and we have been a fan of Chez Panisse restaurant since its beginning. My friend phoned me, very excited, and said she chose and cooked a recipe as soon as she received the book, and is cooking one recipe per week. One can't always say that about a cookbook.
