A guide to the preparation of numerous vegetarian dishes including soups, sauces, breads and grains

Review: I bought this cookbook when it first came out and used it til it completely fell apart. And I had the good fortune to live in Santa Barbara, close enough to Ojai to have eaten at Hooker’s Ranch House restaurant. I wowed friends and family again and again with dishes that became my favorite classics like Snow White Soup, Mushroom Cutlets and Eggplant Cairo. They are so good, being vegetarian isn’t the point of serving them. Here I am today with a beautiful fresh head of cauliflower and the fond memory of Snow White Soup but no recipe. I am SO GLAD I can get another copy…even though this cauliflower won’t last til I get the book.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
