Cooking Ingredients: The Ultimate Photographic Reference Guide for Cooks and Food Lovers by Christine Ingram
The photos are indeed glorious! But this thick, heavy paperback is more than just pictures. It describes ingredients, and how to prepare and cook them, in detail. A nice hefty chapter on cheeses divides them into hard, semi-soft, soft, blue, etc., and then further divides by country of origin. You will learn all about offal ("chicken hearts are very small") and what to do with crocodile meat (it "can be cut into fillets and steaks").
A wonderful book with which to curl up and plan your next show more meal, or just enjoy. show less

I, personally, think this is worth only two stars, because so many of the recipes call for lots of carbs (breaded this, sandwich that, potato the other...) and a lot of them are fried/ deep-fried, also.
I bought it because I'm bored with serving the same old plain or minimally enhanced veggies on the side of the family's plates every dinner. If I had access to the exotic veggies cataloged here, we wouldn't need recipes. And I certainly wouldn't be spoiling them by making a creamy soup in a show more bread bowl with them!
Vegetarians who live near a good farmer's market might like it better, since they do need to make complete meals out of veggies. And I did get a couple of ideas from it, so I'm not releasing it quite yet. show less

Complete Encyclopedia of Vegetables and Vegetarian Cooking: Practical Cook's guide to Every Type of Vegetable with Over 300 Delicious Recipes by Roz Denny
extraordinary vegetarian cookbook, with small section including fish. International recipes including asian, middle eastern, latin american, and american. Very creative and full of fresh herbs and spices. Interesting combinations as, for example a stuffed artichoke with grated carrots in the stuffing, a persian rice dish with a crispy crust and a fried onion garnish. Not a boring dish in the book. Highly recommended
Terrific information about various international breads unfortunately all the recipes are written for use with a bread machine. So some additional steps are needed to modify the recipes for use without the machine. One discussion of how to modify recipes can be found here: http://www.tasteofhome.com/healthy/live-well/ask-our-dietitian/question-archive/... Other than that, the book is great for showcasing various bread types to try, and what with so many recipes on the internet, this is book show more provides a good point from which to start additional research. show less
