A Vegetarian Cookbook  Leonardo da Vinci Would Love

SPRINGVILLE, Utah - July 7, 2014 - Was Leonardo da Vinci a vegetarian? I don't know, but

he did say, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." "Everyday Vegetarian: Meat-Free Meals in Minutes" by Brenda Stanley is just that: simple, sophisticated, and satisfying.  

Why is this a cookbook Leonardo da Vinci would welcome?

Ingredients are easy to procure and prepare, and quick to assemble. Simple.

Recipes are diverse and exotic, yet pure and wholesome. Sophisticated.

Flavors are bold, imaginative, and really, really tasty.

Satisfying.

What kinds of recipes would he expect to find?

Chana Masala, Moroccan Carrot Soup, Zucchini Enchilada Casserole and Eggplant Rigatoni are just a sample of over 90 quick and easy culinary creations.

And with a recipe list that long, "Everyday Vegetarian" has something for everyone-- vegetarians, wannabes, meat-eaters who just want more greens in their diet, and, of course, the great Italian himself.

About the Author:

Brenda Stanley was the host of her own cooking show on KPVI-TV for ten years, is the author of three cookbooks, and writes a cooking column for three newspapers called "Tales of the Dinner Belle." 

She became a vegetarian after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She explains, "It wasn't a hard decision for me, but how would I pull it off as a cooking show host and columnist in the heart of the meat-and-potatoes capital of the world, not to mention as the wife of a hunter?"

To her surprise, the journey to vegetarianism was one of creativity, discovery, joy, and peace of mind. "I've never felt better," says Stanley, " and for the first time in years, my fears about cancer returning are no longer at the top of my mind. For that, becoming a vegetarian has been the best decision I've ever made."
