There are a lot of vegetarian cookbooks around. The big difference here, the one which makes this book superior, is that The New Laurel’s Kitchen has a giant section on nutrition. There are complete descriptions of the different food components, analyses of foods, calorie-computation tables, and a good bibliography. You can cook a recipe from the front of the book, then refer to the back and see how much of which minerals, carbohydrates, etc., you gave your family that day. Tasty recipes, too.
