Rating:  - Delicious Ideas
This book contains absolutely delicious, creative vegetarian entrees that are easy to make and don't take a lot of time to prepare. Many of the condiment and vegetable side dish recipes are in her other cookbook, which was disappointing because I also own the other book. I had hoped that there wouldn't be any overlap. However, if you don't own the other book, you'll be happy to find those recipes in this one! This book has far more vegetarian entrees than her other cookbook. I was surprised that the carb counts are so high in the entrees (about 2X the carbs as protein) but, then again, it is difficult to get high enough complete proteins without getting such high carb counts on a strict vegetarian diet. All-in-all, it contains delicious ideas with clear directions. I will use it every week to create even more variety with a few meatless meals.
Rating:  - The Schwarzbein Principle Vegetarian Cookbook
excellent and yummy recipes - not involved with lots of ingredients. I'm using it nearly every day as I learn more about this lifestyle.
Rating: - Being Healthy
I now own four of the Schwarzbein books. Being a vegetarian makes it particularly hard to get the right nutrition. Dr. Schwarzbein's information and wonderful recipes make it easy. If you want to be healthy by using logic and eating well, these are the books to read!
Rating:  - Too Many Carbs!!!
Generally, Dr. Schwarzbein is on the right track. However, as someone who was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance Syndrome two and a half years ago and who has tried every possible way of eating, I can confidently state that there is no way to recover from the symptoms of this illness--diabetes, high blood pressure, high insulin, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and obesity--and eat as many starchy vegetables and grain products as Schwarzbein includes in this cookbook. I'm not surprised that another reviewer and his wife experienced a surge in cholesterol level from eating this way. In her orignal book, The Schwarzbein Princple, Dr. Schwarzbein shows several levels of recommended carbohydrate consumption based on the physical health of the individual. If you have any or all of the above-listed symptoms, I can tell you from experience that you must use the lowest carb level she recommends, which means you will have to be very selective with the recipes in this book. I can tell you from personal experience that if you have I-R Syndrome or any of it's symptoms, you can't continue to eat starchy vegetables and grain products and hope to get better. I've watched family members continue to go downhill on the standard diets offered by their endocrinologists. I strongly recommend you try Protein Power, Atkins or Neaderthin and keep your carb intake between 30-55 grams per day max. It's hard to do, but it beats ending up blind or on dialysis.
Rating: - A wonderful guide to healthful eating
I just loved this book. It expanded our diet at home to includes lots of foods so that this sometime non-vegetarian doesn't miss meat nearly as much (all the women in the family are basically vegetarians). thanks for helping a father eat more healthfully with his family.
