THE COMPASSIONATE COOK
OR, PLEASE DONT EAT THE ANIMALS!
A VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK This splendid collection of recipes shows how you can have exciting, varied, and healthy meals without allowing your purchases to support the ruthless exploitation of sentient creatures. Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation Opus told me that his six-year pickled-herring habit ended after reading The Compassionate Cook. He discovered the rutabaga frapp recipe and has been practicing it ever since.

We both wish you Bon Apptit! Berke Breathed, author of Outland and Bloom County cartoons How good it is to be well-fed, healthy, and kind all at the same time. Henry Heimlich, M.D., Sc.D., president of The Heimlich Foundation What a great book and such a wonderful cause! I look forward to trying each and every recipe. Doris Day I have always felt that the way we treat our animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race. Ali MacGraw Here the recipes will intrigue the most doubting of Thomases, and most of them are so imaginative and yet easy to prepare that even this old crotchety curmudgeon was inspired to dust off his cast-iron skillet and work up a stew. Cleveland Amory, author of The Cat Who Came for Christmas and president of The Fund for Animals and NEAVS Leave it to PETA to publish a book full of answers for those who want to eat consciously and well. Alec Baldwin This is the book for people who care.
