Enemy of the Steak: Vegetarian Recipes to Win Friends and Influence Meat-Eaters
Author: Nikki Goldbeck
Don't blame vegetarians for starting this. Who said "real food for real people"? Aren't asparagus, carrots, and tomatoes real? How about all the other delicious fruits and vegetables? Aren't they every bit as real as . that other food? To answer the call to battle, best-selling authors David and Nikki Goldbeck have created a wonderful new cookbook that offers over 300 kitchen-tested recipes--recipes that nourish the body, please the palate, and satisfy the heartiest of appetites.
Enemy of the Steak is divided into fourteen exciting sections: Beyond Basic Breakfasts, Liberating Lunches, Delightful Dinners, Simple Baking, Satisfying Snacks, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Spreads, Elegant Appetizers and Hors D'oeuvres, Super Salads and Salad Dressings, Sensational Soups, Saucy Sauces and Over-the-Top Toppings, A-Company Accompaniments, Winning Main Dishes, Sinfully Good Desserts, and Drinks for Your Health. Throughout the book, the Goldbecks have included practical tips and advice on weight loss, disease prevention, and other important topics. They also offer dozens of fascinating facts about why fruits and veggies are so good for you.
Enemy of the Steak is for everyone who loves a good healthy meal. Simply put, it's great food for smart people. If you have to take sides, you couldn't be in better company.

The Goldbecks, veteran vegetarian cookbook authors, go back to basics with this book, whose opening chapters, titled "Stocking the Pantry" and "Basic Training," provide an excellent introduction to the concept of vegetarianism for newcomers. "Basic Training" offers advice on how to roast, steam, grill, and pressure-cook a wide variety of vegetables, grains, and legumes. The featured recipes range over breakfast options, soups, entrées, sauces, and desserts and emphasize low fat and high fiber, balance carbohydrates and protein, and eliminate trans fats for healthy menu choices. None of the ingredients is too exotic to be found in regular supermarkets. The recipes are nutritionally sound and good tasting but not exceptional. Use of more spices would have made this a better cookbook. No nutritional information for the recipes is given, but the index is excellent. If you need a general vegetarian cookbook on your shelves, this is a good choice for the money. Otherwise, pass.
