If you want to save the world from global warming, then keep this product away from me. Did you know that far…. errr, “gas” makes way more “greenhouse gases” than most anything else? This means that lacto-vegetarian cows are far…. , err, pooting our planet to a warm, stormy death. The heroic Dipper is warning you all who want to save this lovely blue ball called Planet from turning into gassy Venus to reconsider your lacto-vegetarian ways. Yeah, YOU!!! All that green fiber you are woofing down everyday makes “tummy turbulence” which makes you, admit it, toot like a goat. And you thought no one noticed. This fine intentioned book is reasonably impressive. Many of the recipes are reasonably tasty even if they have no yummy animal protein in them. Dipper even laughed a few times at the leader’s amusing comments, particularly the “punk points” which made me pull out my ancient record player and a vinyl copy of The Dead Kennedy’s “Holiday in Cambodia”. The “Fizzy the Cat” parts were rather weird; I reflect that cat was really full of gas and craving a tasty tuna and chicken sandwich. Most amusing were her shallow small political yippings (furballs?) about Republicans. I reflect she secretly wants to kill them and make people fritters. Freud would have plenty to say about that. Dipper, your tubby knight in bright armor (lots of Brasso) would like you to know he is busy doing his planet preserving best at preventing global warming by single handedly finishing off as many of persons gassy cows off as he can by using the best recipes in this book with plenty of yummy, tasty, wonderful, beef mixed in to ADD SOME FLAVOR!!! You would be astounded at how these recipes taste when you add in some delightful animal protein! And best yet, you can help save the planet by cutting down on bovine butt burpers and your own toxic hiney honkers! Well done Mighty Isa! Together, the Planet will have a colder and tastier future! DOWN WITH THE COWS!!!!

This book was just an extenstion of junk food and not truly tasty food. I was very disappointed with this lacto-vegetarian book. I am a new lacto-vegetarian and had bought Carol Alts Raw Food book this book just didn’t compare nutritionally or recipe wise.

I was SOOO looking forwards to this cookbook-after all the excellent reviews. My youngest daughter is allergic to milk products-and I am vegetarian… so, I am in search of excellent non-milk, vegetarian dishes that my meat-eating, more traditional meals, spouse would delight in so that I don’t have to make 2 or 3 different meals for every dinner. Admittedly, I only made one recipe-a desert-which came out ok-although the rum SURE was the MAIN ingredient, taste-wise-not really a family tree desert. Then, I ongoing looking through the book-and couldn’t find any entrees that I thought he’d delight in-I thought I’d really like them, but the recipes are not for the unadventurous.
The OTHER thing I realized, which is why the title of my review, is that she periodically uses profanity. It is not on ALL of the pages and is only in some of the descriptions. But, I was not expecting a cookbook to include such words-and I am not comfortable having a book like that in the house as my children are beginning to learn how to read-and delight in reading my cookbooks. That is NOT where I want them to hear persons words. What a bring shame on. I would have kept the book around, if it hadn’t been for that. At least I would have had some variety for my spouse to eat-even if they weren’t his favorite dishes. So… I am still looking for a excellent lacto-vegetarian cookbook for the whole family tree. This was NOT it.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Lacto-vegetarian with a Vengeance: Over 150 Cheap, Tasty, Animal-Free Recipes that Rock (Avalon, 2005)
I reflect a new rule of thumb is called for here: never trust any book whose title contains the axiom “with a vengeance” whose leader promises– after a ranting, raving foreword by Ryan MacMichael– at the end of page one that “the heavy-handedness ends here.” Because I guarantee you, folks, that just isn’t right. It’s certainly not right in this case; As the book progresses, you will find yourselves reading propaganda for Food Not Bombs, cutesy asides on the evils of corporate America, etc. etc. ad nauseam. Pretty much what you’d expect from a book whose foreword contains the sentence “Eating is a moral act or a political statement, depending on whom you question.” (I’ll give MacMichael credit, at least, for the “whom”, and Avalon credit for not changing it.)
Which is kinda too terrible. If you can stuff down your inherent loathing for such things, there are some fantastic recipes to be establish here. I can’t knock any cookbook that contains a falafel recipe. Everyone should know how to make falafel correctly, and there are maybe fifty people on the planet who do. (They mostly work for really expensive restaurants.) You can end your ignorance on page 98 of this book. (Oh, excellent lord, the style has rubbed off on me. I’m sorry. I’ll try not to do it again.)
Sorry to say, the book does have one additional huge knock against it– Moskowitz’ repartee throughout is an odd mixture of cynical and cute. Sometimes it works (cf. Tricia Sullivan’s Maul, which I will review once I’ve unburied myself from the additional fifty I have to get to). Sometimes it doesn’t. If you come away from this book with the ex- response, excellent. I didn’t– it grated relentlessly.
But still, the recipes. I am, as I’m pretty sure you figured out from the beginning of this review, not a lacto-vegetarian– I judge the familiar and much-loathed acronym stands for People Eating Tasty Animals, and wear my philosophy proudly whenever possible– but, you know, falafel. And appealing egg/milk substitute thoughts that could be invaluable to non-vegans watching their weight, for example. So bite the bullet, get it out of the library, and see if there’s anything you can use. I will be reasonably surprised if there isn’t, no matter how much of a carnivore you are. ***
