Any thoughts: Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone?
I'm very late on this but the book was almost a total loss for me. It's holding up my computer screen otherwise I would say it is a total loss.
The recipes are disappointing. The taste always leaves me scrambling to fix it and sadly most of the time it doesn't get beyond a 2 out of 10 when I do fix it a bit. The methods leave me with undercooked, overcooked, never cooked right items.
And it does stupid things like the recipe that calls for putting flour in the boiling water. Now beginning cooks may think this does something but those who have been cooking for a while will suspect that Ms Madison was on something and so was her editor when that got into the book.
Your right about your feelings about the book. Thank Goodness I bought mine at a library sale where someone else junked it too no matter if it said "To .... Love Dad and Mom." So it was poor Mom and Dad whoever they were who wasted the cost of the book. And the kid was smart enough to dump it the next year. Smart kid.

The water needs to be between 110 and 115 F. Always proof your yeast. I use the site called Baking 911 and considering I went from Mud Bricks to Bread, I think the site works... Bread baking is not easy and it is not a forgiving art. I can mess up spaghetti sauce and save it. I can't mess up bread and save it. Everything needs to be very accurate so if you like to cook via a dash of this and a dash of that and toss in some... it's going to be problematic. I know. It took me 35 years to make an excellent loaf of bread.
