: The vegetarian philosophy back in the 70's was, "We're not eating meat,
: so we can eat all the eggs/cheese/butter/oil we please." The New
: Vegetarian Epicure is a whole different animal from Thomas's first two
: books. The recipes are different and lower in fat. It's also organized
: around menus and seasons--one section contains family menus, the other
: has entertaining menus. I recommend it.

Another truly wonderful vegetarian cookbook is Deborah Madison's
'Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.' I think I've probably used
at least 1/3 of the recipes in the book, and thems better stats
than for any of my other cookbooks.
