As You like It Cookbook: Imaginative Gourmet Dishes with Exciting Vegetarian Options

Author: Ron Pickarski

Have you ever prepared a wonderful dish, but because it contained beef or chicken, your daughter-in-law, the vegetarian, wouldn't go near it? The challenge of cooking for both vegetarians and nonvegetarians is becoming more and more common. Wouldn't it be nice to have a cookbook that provided delicious recipes for nonvegetarians, but also offered vegetarian options for the same dish? Guess what? Now there is such a cookbook, written by one of the most celebrated chefs in this country.

The As You Like It Cookbook was designed to help you find the perfect meal for today's contemporary lifestyles. Written by Ron Pickarski, an executive chef with over twenty-five years of experience, the As You Like It Cookbook offers over 175 recipes for great-tasting dishes designed to appeal to a broad range of tastes. Many of the easy-to-follow recipes use lean and luscious cuts of beef, pork, poultry, or seafood, but guide you in substituting vegetarian ingredients so that the dish will also appeal to vegans and vegetarians. And handy substitution guidelines enable you to turn any of your favorite meat, poultry, seafood, egg, and dairy recipes into meatless options. So don't despair the next time someone asks what's for dinner. With the As You Like It Cookbook, a tantalizing meal--cooked exactly as your family likes it--is just minutes away.

Ron Pickarski is the first professional vegetarian chef to be certified executive chef by the American Culinary Federation, and is President and Chef/Consultant of Eco-Cuisine, Inc., a food technology consulting service. A recognized expert in the preparation of both traditional and vegetarian cuisine, Mr. Pickarski is also the author of Eco-Cuisine: An Ecological Approach to Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking.
