Paperback: 273 pages Size (in inches): 9 x 6 Publisher: Pythagorean Books; (September 1, 1993) ISBN: 0962616915 More than just a cookbook author, Rynn Berry is a literary detective and scholar adventurer. He is the first to have found and published the vegetable recipes favored by Leonardo da Vinci, which he translated from medieval Latin into English. He is also the first to have discovered vegetarian recipes fro Louisa May Alcott’s father, Bronson Alcott, which he found written in his wife Abigail’s hand-written recipe book. Berry has worked similar feats of research for such vegetarian immortals as Pythagoras, Gautama the Buddha, Socrates, Plato, Jesus Christ, Plutarch, Percy Shelley, Tolstoy, Annie Besant, Gandhi, and George Bernard Shaw. He has also collected recipes from such contemporary vegetarians as Paul and Linda McCartney, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Swami Prabhupada. Recipes were culled from cookbooks left behind or from the notes of family members and housekeepers. Other recipes were gleaned or carefully recreated from historical accounts. Famous vegetarians’ more than 70 recipes include soups, grains and pastas, soyfood entrees, vegetable entrees (nearly two dozen), salads and sandwiches, breads and desserts. “As urbane and informed as it is passionate, Rynn Berry’s collection of profiles and recipes makes a beguiling case for the superior civility of vegetarianism. Yet, those of us who pursue it simply for the quirky wit, donnish wisdom and artfully updated recipes are never made un-welcome for not sharing every philosophical precept. As a non-vegetarian, I read with fascination, and ate with gusto. WILLIAM A HENRY III, Pulitzer-Prize-winning critic, Senior Writer, TIME |
