This is a useful book for the sorta vegetarian. I have no hard evidence for this, but I suspect many people fall into the category of thinking that they ought not to eat as much meat, particuarly red meat, but who also are not obsessed with the issue. This book offers many recipes with alternatives to red meat - using chicken or fish, or even simply vegetarian solutions. The recipes probably are not culinary award winning; but they work and aren't terribly difficult or expensive.
great book for those who aren't quite ready to take the plunge yet (or those, like me, who keep swinging back and forth), as well as those who are just looking for healthier, less red-meat based dishes.

I bought this book hoping that it would help me implement a more "vegetable-friendly" diet. Although some of the recipies sounded good, it would have helped if there were pictures to help me visualize the final result.
