With more than 25 million Americans (about 12.5 percent of the population) now calling themselves vegetarians, the demand for exciting new cookbooks on the subject has never been stronger. The editors at Vegetarian Times have long been advocates of the Mediterranean diet, rich in healthy vegetables, grains, beans, and olive oil. It doesn't hurt that Mediterranean food tastes so great, too, including dishes like pasta, pizza, frittatas, polenta, main-dish salads, paella, and rich soups and stews. Now, for the first time, comes a collection of the very best Mediterranean-style recipes from the pages of this popular magazine.
