The best vegetarian dishes I know

** "The Best Vegetarian Dishes I Know" by Jeanne Jardine is a cookbook from a bygone era that champions the art of meat-free cooking, steering clear of even fish. It promises to guide everyday cooks in creating flavorful and wholesome meals using only vegetables, eggs, and dairy. Jardine's goal is to demistify vegetarian cuisine and prove that it’s not only affordable but also a path to elegant dining. The book starts with a friendly introduction, where the author shares her food philosophy. She also encourages cooks to fully understand each recipe before starting, because even home cooks can have elegant dishes like the chefs. **
