She brings fresh flavor and zest to the best-selling tradition of bistro cookbooks, presenting an enticing array of authentic dishes without meat. Destined to become a classic, The Vegetarian Bistroreveals a wonderfully healthful and decidedly delicious new side of traditional French bistro cookery.
