"Jazzy Vegetarian Classics is a much needed cookbook, as it will make healthful, delicious vegan cuisine accessible and approachable for one and all.

The recipes are not just for vegetarians or vegans, but for anyone who loves and celebrates food.” - Dr. Pamela A. Popper, Executive Director of The Wellness Forum and co-author of Food Over Medicine
“More and more people are interested in exploring healthful, vegan cuisine, and the Jazzy Vegetarian Classics cookbook is making it fun and easy. Eating plants instead of animals has never been so enjoyable.” - Gene Baur, President and Co-Founder of Farm Sanctuary
“The genius of Jazzy Vegetarian Classics is that the recipes magically transform incredibly healthy vegetarian ingredients into extraordinary family classics much better than the original. The book promises those who indulge not only fabulous meals, but also a wonderfully healthy life. Nature's path toward vegetarianism has never been so easy to follow!” - Daniel A. Nadeau, M.D. Author of: The Color Code, A Revolutionary Eating Plan for Optimum Health
"If you're looking for classic American meals, with a meatless twist, look no further. This cookbook by Laura Theodore makes eating healthy a breeze.
Going from a meat-heavy diet to one completely without it can be a rough adjustment. Theodore does a great job of easing people into a vegetarian lifestyle with her cookbook, Jazzy Vegetarian Classics, because she offers meatless versions of recipes we already know and love. Her recipes are quick and easy to prepare, and offer amazing swap-out ideas that will truly amaze you.
For example, Theodore has recipes for Spaghetti and "Wheatballs," Cauliflower "Steaks," and Mushroom-Nut Burgers that will make you feel like you're not missing out on anything, which, we all know, is very helpful when changing up a diet regimen. Enjoying every meal is still important, and Theodore does a great job proving that every vegetarian meal can be enjoyable and satisfying.
We also appreciate this book's down-to-earth approach to vegetarianism. It's perfect for seasoned vegetarians and vegans looking for innovative new dishes, and for casual home cooks looking to add one or two plant-based recipes to their weekly repertoire." February 2014, favehealthyrecipes.com
