the best book I've read on psychiatry.......2007-01-11
Masterson is extremely insightful about two common, and until recently considered untreatable, personality disorders: borderline spectrum and narcissism. He helps the reader to understand the etiology of these disorders and how both involve the creation of a false self. What I liked most about this book is that he doesn't treat people with these disorders as if they're an alien species ("crazy people"), while the rest of us are "normal". We all have a little borderline or narcissism in us. This is a compassionate and intelligent book.
The Real Deal.......2006-08-16
I have read a good deal of Winnicott and Bollas writing about the true self, and it has been enlightening and informative, yet somewhat nebulous. Without realizing it, this probably relates to the fact that coherent theories of the Self are sketchy and incomplete. Masterson masterfully reviews these theories, the confusion between ego and self and "I", then offers a very clear conceptualization of the self, with focus on the Real Self. Far apart from the romantic or mystical connotations one might have, Masterson addresses the components and development of the Real Self, he defines it as such to highlight the role of the Real Self in dealing with reality, and describes a therapeutic technique - and the crucial timing of its use - as a means of supporting self-initiation, especially with borderline and narcissistic personalities. This is a must read for professionals working from a psychodynamic and/or object relations framework. It should have some value for the lay person, although it is not designed as such. A beneficial surprise is Masterson's look at the real self in relationship to creativity - creativity in living and artisitic creativity, as well as a brief review of the fate of the Real Self in different cultures.
An excellent treatise on borderline and narcissistic personality disorders.......2006-03-15
This book is an excellent treatise on borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, from how the personality disorders are formed, to what might be done to help these people.
Search for the real self; Unmasking the personality disorders of our age .......2005-10-04
The seller made a mistake and did not have the title in stock. They had later sent me an e-mail apologizing for the error and credited my account.
Interesting food for thought, but be careful........2005-05-02
I agree with the reviewer who said that this book is best taken metaphorically rather than at face value, but my personal qualms with the book are slightly different...
Contemporary scholarship and a bit of prudence would, I hope, lead one to question the existence of a unitary "self" and therefore take the book's theorizations with a grain of salt. But I think that in this case the author has been careful to separate the subjective notion of "self" (ie. the continuity of consciousness most of us actively perpetuates) from any claim that this self is in fact singular and unitary in practice. In fact, Masterson writes first and foremost (though only briefly) of the multiplicity of self-representation, only further postulating that these representations are ultimately regulated at the level of subjective experience by a supraordinate "self" acting as arbiter. This arguably allows his theory to coexist with more contemporary notions of "multiple" or "fragmented" selves, so I think that the concepts themselves can be of use even to one with a somewhat more postmodern bent, rather than requiring rejection out-of-hand.
I think that interpreting Masterson's analytical construct of "the real self" from a psychosocial standpoint, rather than an intrapsychic one as per the author's intent, by asserting an altogether different definition of the word "self" loses much of what is being got at; it sidesteps Masterson's own choice of focus, which he has rather carefully defined in the introductory chapters. Whether his rationale for coming to this definition was sound is a matter in itself (and this is where my own qualms lie), but if one is to grapple with Masterson's ideas I believe that one does best meet him on his own conceptual grounds rather than at a simplified level of semantics.
That being said, I do have considerable qualms with certain aspects of Masterson's thinking, some of which I share with the other reviewer. I think that by idealizing the maturation of a singular "real" self as pitted against all other (presumably pathological) "false" selves, and failing to take into account the practical effects of environment and culture in the construction of "ideal" functionality, Masterson's theory remains incomplete at best and direly problematic at worst. Plenty of writers (eg. Goffman, Sartre, Doi) have explored the problems encountered when one seeks to unify necessarily disparate social-role "selves" into a congruent whole; there is little evidence that this "unity" is either a universal necessity or a universal mechanism, and I think that its unquestioned assertion in therapy may potentially create more problems than it may solve.
I really sympathize with the poor bloke whose mind was fried by reading this thing; it wreaks utterly of the deterministic, pathologizing mindset so common amongst psychoanalysts. Masterson's reductionism also has a way of pulling all sorts of common daily psychological phenomenon under an enormous umbrella of personality malfunction, ever construed to be congruent with his essentializing structures. Moreover, like many psychoanalysts, Masterson possesses a deep streak of paternal idealism, with a consequent tendency to pathologize the otherwise functionally sound. The structure of his text is thus soaked to the core with the value judgments and prognoses of a particular brand of psychoanalysis, which -- as another reviewer pointed out -- rest on rather questionable foundations.
I think that many of the structures and mechanisms discussed in the book do seem intuitively sound, and while this judgment alone may not be enough to fully justify their active employment in diagnosis and treatment, there's still much to be had here for the interested reader. As food for thought, and as fodder for further synthesis with a discourse less preoccupied with maintaining its own essentialized notions, it can serve to raise some interesting themes. From the standpoint of postmodern discourse, for example, Masterson's emphasis on the "real self" functions as a nice, clearly defined conceptual counterpoint to more generally accepted alternatives.
By the way, if this review seemed helpful, I recommend "The Real Self: A Developmental, Self, and Object-Relations Approach," over this book, as it does a much better job of underlining the more technical aspects of Masterson's thinking. This book is geared much more towards mainstream readership, a purpose for which, incidentally, I can honestly recommend neither.
One last thing (and I should have probably said this earlier): If you've just been diagnosed with BPD, and are looking for further reading on the subject, avoid this book. Some others have recommended this book for its therapeutic value, but it has distinct way of tracing everyday actions back to pathological causes that can drive you batty if you identify too strongly with the case studies. Proceed with caution.
Book Description
This uniquely accessible collection draws together the best vegetarian recipes of Italy-350 in all. 'Pasta and pizza may be Italy's most eye-catching exports, but it is the country's varied and sensible use of vegetables that provides the best inspiration for American cooks,' writes Jack Bishop. 'Asparagus spears coated with a little olive oil and roasted to intensify their flavor; thick slices of country bread grilled over an open fire and topped with diced tomatoes and shredded basil from the garden; or a fragrant stew with fennel and peas-Italians enjoy these dishes because of what they do contain, not what they don't.' Many of the recipes were gathered by Bishop during extensive travels throughout Italy. Some are family favorites, adapted from those of his Italian grandmother. All deliver perfect results with a minimum of effort. Serving suggestions for each recipe make planning vegetarian meals easy.

A nice simple cook book.......2007-08-23
I've cooked five or six recipes out of the book and found them to be as advertised, simple but with delicious results.
Best cookbook!.......2007-03-08
I recently moved to Italy and decided to get this book to bring with me so as not to get stuck in a vegetarian food rut and also to be able to eat good Italian food without always having to go out to a restaurant. I have made something different almost everynight for a month so far. Not one recipe has disappointed me. They are all very easy to follow and super tasty. My boyfriend is loveing my new found love of cooking, and especially la cucina italiana! I'd also like to add that I used to be vegan so I always look at recipes from an "Is it possible to make this vegan?" standpoint. MANY MANY of these are already vegan on their own and even more of them are if you have the right soy products and a little imagination so I reccomend this book to vegans as well.
family cook.......2007-02-09
We have used many recipes out of this book and have not found a bad one. Very very tasty. My eldest daughter also bought one after trying some of the recipes while visiting us over the holidays.I recommend it to every one.
Yummy for Vegetarians!.......2007-01-10
Love this book! Recipes are simple and delicious. I gave this to my daughter for Christmas, and she is loving it! I would love a photo on every recipe for the next book to entice us to try it!
Wonderful!.......2006-07-05
The recipes in this cookbook are easy, delicious and wonderful! I use this cookbook more than I use any other book and this is the only one that stays on my counter year round. Try it and you will just love it!

Customer Reviews:
great cookbook for all food lovers.......2007-01-10
wonderful recipes with touches of many countries cuisines. I loved the photos accompanying the recipes, really inspirational. you really get a lot for your money with this book. as always I checked it out of the library and then wanted it to stay in my home so I bought it.
I found the recipes not difficult but not so simplistic that the food was one dimensional. Easy to whip up dinner in a small amount of time with ingredients on hand.
Quick Delicious Recipes.......2004-10-16
I'm not much of a cook, so I love the breakdown for prep time and cook time. This gives me a relistic idea of how long a recipe takes from begining to end (the provided times are actually acurate). There are many "fast" recipes located in boxes throughout the book. Every single recipe that I have made has been delicious. My current favorites are Potato Gnocchi w/tomato sauce and Tex Mex Chilli beans, both of these take less than half an hour when using canned stewed tomatoes and pre-packaged gnocchi. If you have an entire afternoon to cook, the Minestrone soup is amazing. Even my non-vegetable eating boyfriend likes it. There are beautiful pictures on every page, and fyi food tidbits and techniques in the margins. Each recipe is rated in difficulty from one to three stars. Most recipes are one star(easy), perfect for me! I am not a vegetarian, but I like to alternate healthy vegetarian meals with meat based meals. This cookbook makes eating vegetarian simple and delicious!
Colorful cookbook with great recipes.......2003-10-15
I recommend this book for vegetarians and non-vegetarians who enjoy expanding their meal variety. The book has everything from quick dishes for the busy week nights to elegant appetizers for entertaining. The pictures of the dishes are colorful and mouthwatering.
Customer Reviews:
One of my two most-used cookbooks!.......2005-10-02
If food is your passion, if you sit at work like me and dream about what you're going to have for dinner, then this is your cookbook!
Good balance of quick/easy recipes, and traditional recipes. I would buy this for a novice or seasoned cook. Any vegetarian should own this.
The recipes are delicious and flavorful. I've been vegetarian for ~10 years and I REFUSE to eat bland food. I reach for this cookbook when I want a guaranteed delicious meal. I haven't had a single bad recipe yet, and I've been using it for years.
Favorite recipes: 1)almond & broccoli stir fry (great with cold sesame noodles), and 2)mixed herbed tabouli. These two recipes alone will justify your purchase.
Note: aubergines=eggplant, capsicum=bell pepper, scallions=green onions. That's all you need to know.
P.S. I own both 'Essential Vegetarian' cookbooks: this one, and the one by Diana Shaw. Ms. Shaw's cookbook is wonderful too, but I use it less ONLY because the recipes are a bit more time consuming. It is still on my "top 4" list. Buy both.
Happy Eating!
Awesome cookbook.......2005-09-21
This book was in great condition. It has a culturally diverse selection of vegetarian dishes.
I just don't reach for this much .......2004-11-18
This was my first vegetarian cookbook so I have had it for about 6 years now. There's probably a couple hundred recipes from appetizers to beverages, but most of the ingredients are just not practicle so I barely prepare anything from this book. I also find many of the recipes to be more of the same w/ maybe just slightly different spices.I won't get rid of it as there are about 5 recipes I do make that I really like, but this is really a wasted book considering how many recipes there are and how many are basically useless.
Don't confused w/the other "Essential Vegetarian Cookbook".......2002-11-18
I accidentally picked up this book looking for "The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook" by Diana Shaw (ASIN 051788268X). It initially looks very good, but we've found it somewhat difficult to use.
The photographs of the prepared meals are excellent and probably the book's strongest suit. While browsing, you'll forget that you're eating healthy.
Layout is like most cookbooks: soups, snacks, pies, pastas, salads, side-vegetables, sauces and desserts. What would be really helpful is a meal planner, or something suggesting sides that would complement entrees.
Each recipe has a rating, one to three stars, relating to its complexity. The breadth of complexity is pretty wide. For example, baby baked potatos and vegetable pot pies are both "one star," despite the latter taking many more steps and ingredients. Pumpkin and herb ravioli would be a two-star (medium difficulty) while roasted vegetable lasagne is a three-star (the hardest).
There's no correlation between the complexity and the time to prepare & cook. For example, the pot pies, ravioli and lasagne recipes (above) all take about two and a half hours from start to serve.
Thus, it's practical only for the weekend chef.
Finally, the mix of metric and imperial units is distracting. For example, one recipe might read:
500g (1 lb) fettucini
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
while another might read:
60g (2 oz) butter
1 cup (250ml/8 fl oz) olive oil
On a couple of occasions I've misread the change in units. I would be much easier if they stuck with one system.
There are some redeeming features, but you can do much better with other books.
Great recipes!.......2002-11-01
My family has both carnivores and vegetarians. Since I am the cook, it is very difficult to please everyone (especially the carnivores!! they are so picky!). The recipes in this book are beautifully presented, have obviously been well tested, and please everyone in my family, most of the time. My vegetarians use the dishes as their main dish; my carnivores use them as a sort of secondary main dish. So everyone is very happy. Buy this book!

Beautiful, Easy to Make, Great Read.......2006-01-11
I'm always looking for new cookbooks. I have battled diabetes for years. This book has stabalized my blood sugar and brought my weight down by 23 pounds! Furthermore, I've enjoyed eating for the first time in many years. The recipes don't seem like "health food," to me. They're just plain delicious! Thank you Ms. Alexander!
A good book for those new to Veganism.......2005-12-22
Chapters 1-15 are comprised of 64 pages which address the following topics:
A Philosophy of acting in accordance with nature's principles, The Physical and emotional affects of foods, Healthy lifestyle and disease prevention, The change from an agrarian to an industrial society and lifestyle changes that followed, Plant-based diets and the benefits thereof, Immune and `detoxification' system, Contemporary factory-farmed animal products and their effects on health and wellness, Ecological implications of an animal-based diet, Importance of water, Fats and other nutritional requirements, and Answering skeptics' questions.
None of the chapters is clearly labeled, the table of contents is somewhat vague and it is impossible to tell which topic each chapter addresses without reading the first few paragraphs.
After the informational chapters above, there are approximately 200 recipes, quite a few of which rely on ingredients such as tofu and Ener-G egg replacer. Recipe types and approximate number of each are as follows:
Breakfast: 15 (tofu is substituted for eggs, but there is a great multi-grain pancake mix)
Breads/Muffins: 10
Spreads/Dips: 12 (mostly tofu or bean-based)
Soups/Stews: 33, and this is probably the best section of the book
Loaves (only 4 fortunately), casseroles and dinner pies: 20 total
Burritos, enchiladas, fajitas: 7
Skillet dinners: 17
Pasta dinners: 5
Stir Fry recipes: 15
Meat-analogs, sandwiches, kabobs: 8
Stuffed vegetables: 6
Potatoes, rice, stuffing: 29
Sauces: 14 (some can be found in other sections as well)
Vegetables: 22
Desserts: 20
The recipes section is followed by sections on cookware, cooking and shopping tips, and charts for preparing beans and grains.
The `Index' is actually an expanded table of contents and is not organized by either ingredient or alphabetically.
If you are entirely new to vegan issues and vegan cooking, this might be worth purchasing, but if you already have a few vegetarian or vegan cookbooks and are familiar with the popular books by Frances Moore Lappe and John Robbins, you may not want to add this title to your collection.
Nearly Fat Free.......2005-04-18
These recipes shy away from any added oil, and are quite delicious! Using products commonly found, this down'home style cookbook was a staple in my library before I became vegan. Now, amongst many other vegan cookbooks (The Soy of Cooking, Candle Cafe, Vegetarian Slow Cooker, etc) Kitchen in The Clouds is still a favorite!
Beautiful cookbook.......2002-08-11
This is one of my favorite cookbooks - it has some philosophy in the beginning, words of wisdon to eat up, and delicious recipes. I've taken weeks at a time where all I cook from is this cookbook and it's terrific. Varied recipes, great combinations, nothing too tricky.
Good recipes, bad theology.......2002-07-23
I realize this is not a theological book but the first few chapters seem to expound a philosophy that is not related to eating healthy. Use the recipes but find theology elsewhere, I would suggest the Bible.

Book Description
The author of Almost Vegetarian presents the one book that full-time and part-time vegetarians need on their shelves--a book that contains more than 600 contemporary low-fat recipes and invaluable nutritional and culinary information about the vegetarian way of life. 500 line drawings.
Customer Reviews:
It's been donated ..........2006-03-20
Pretty thorough info on a variety of grains/vegetables; however, I completely agree with earlier reviewers. Some major recipe omissions in the soybean category, frugal with spices, and really opinionated -- e.g., she ruthlessly "disses" Quinoa, which is very nutritious and, in my opinion and that of many others, tastes great.
Is it my imagination, or are the recipes predominantly Western European?
keep coming back to it after 8 years.......2005-02-23
I must have picked up this cookbook at the bookstore when it was newly published because it looked good. Unlike many other cookbooks I've bought under similar conditions, it has stood the test of time and I keep coming back to it, year after year, as my tastes and lifestyle have changed. The recipes taste fresh and flavorful; they are healthy as can be because the ingredients are mostly fresh produce and grains and beans. My favorites sections are breakfast, curries, and one dish meals. The guides inside make it a reference and encyclopedia for my use. My only suggestion: publish it in hard cover or improve the binding. Mine is in two pieces now!
this is a WIEGHT LOSS book NOT a vegi book.......2003-08-24
This book is not a vegetarian cook book it is a weight loss book that takes great dishes and then removes all the fat and spice until they taste like low sodium card board. Diana Shaw authors this book as one of those naive middle aged ladies who assumes if you are a vegetarian you are on a weight loss diet. Her refusal to use the words cream, cheese (other then cottage) and butter, other than to scold the use of these ingredients, and her annoying placement of "nonfat" in front of the word yogurt made me draw a habit and a ruler over her book jacket photo. The only 2 reasons you should buy this book are A) to deprive yourself of real food in an effort to lose weight or B) to avoid having to buy spices, because she uses close to none. If you want a good veggie cookbook stick to the Moosewood series or Madhur Jaffrey or any thing other than this book.
I disagree!! This is a must-have.......2003-05-25
I'd like to reply to the other reviewer here, who gave this book 3 stars for the ridiculous reason that it doesn't have enough recipes for tofu, tempeh, and seitan. I think what we need is EXACTLY more vegetarian cookbooks like this--don't we have enough tofu cookbooks? The vegetarian universe encompasses SO MUCH MORE than these three ingredients, and all I can say is THANK GOD someone finally put out this huge thick book full of recipes using other foods! Just wanted to say how simple and great tasting these recipes are--please don't misinform other readers about this treasure trove of vegetarian info-- just because you happen to want "more tofu" !!
mmm... not overly impressed.......2002-09-23
I am no hardcore vegetarian but do enjoy meatless meals. I love cooking and experimenting different foods. I particularly enjoy dishes that include beans, tofu and grains (as in, I'm not a huge fan of having to eat a big platter of steamed broccoli and carrots for dinner...) Well,I have to say that I was rather disappointed in this "essential" vegetarian cookbook, for it almost contains none of those recipes I was hoping for! Mostly she introduces "weird" meals that require mail-ordered foods. Well, not too handy if you ask me! I have however tried a few recipes, mainly muffins (very nutritious and healthy) but all the recipes seem faulty...! I am an experimented cook and all I've tried to bake in this book so far did not turned out. I leave muffins and breads in the oven for hours and they do not cook in the centre etc. Have those recipes ever been tested??? This being said, I have to say that few cookbooks offer such appealing descriptions (too bad the actual recipes don't match the mouth watering introductions) and such complete nutritional information. If you think you were a bunny in a past life and don't care what your food tastes like, then this might be great for you. As for me, this book is on its way to a charity!

My go-to cookbook.......2007-07-19
This is my go-to cookbook any time I'm trying to figure out how to make something new or how to use an unfamiliar vegetable I got in my CSA box. I've never been disapointed by anything I've made from this book. The recipes are straigh forward and the pictures are very helpful. This is my favorite cookbook.
My favorite cookbook!.......2007-07-11
I got this from a bargain bin at my local bookstore. Best $5.99 I ever spent! The recipes are simple yet elegant, cooking terms and ingredients are explained, and the full-color appetizing photos that illustrate not only each recipe but also most of the steps are very helpful. Recipes in this book average 4 steps and range from 2 to 8. Ingredients used are mainly fresh produce and healthy grains. I haven't made one dud from this book - my favorites are All the Reds soup & the scrumptuous Tomato and Basil Tart. There's even a minor "Virtually Vegetarian" section which features seafood, perfect for my acto-ovo-pesco tendencies. Seriously great book. The only cookbook I ever use. Recommended for beginner cooks, farmers market enthusiasts and anyone who prefers to spend more time eating than cooking!
Best Ever!!.......2007-04-22
I bought this cookbook on impulse one time when I was on Amazon. It's amazing - I have tried numerous recipes and every single one has been amazing. The recipes are easy to follow and you feel like you are eating gourmet food from a fancy restaurant. A great way to eat vegetarian - but there are also some recipes with meat and meat can easily be added to most dishes. A+ all the way!!

It truly is an essential.......2006-09-02
I have a lot of cookbooks, both vegetarian and vegan, and I've found this to be one of the best. Not just because the recipes are easy to follow or because they taste delicious. Not even because every time I've made one of the dishes, my family has raved about it and not missed the meat.
This book really breaks things down for you. Even someone new to vegetarian cooking will be able to follow the recipes. They have a section showing you how to cut certain ways to get your tofu to look this way or that depending on how you want to prepare it.
This was the first book I'd read to recommend cutting, frying, and then marinating the tofu before cooking with it. It's made a huge difference! I use that method every time, now.
It's also got some of the only seitan recipes I enjoy.
It goes over measurements, making things from scratch, substituting, and even freezing and storing.
If you are new to vegetarian cooking or are just interested in trying to cook using less meat, this is definitely the book you want to try out first.
The most diehard carnivore will not miss the meat!!!.......2002-03-06
I have eaten at the Cheese factory Restaurant on many occasions and can honestly say that the food is the best I have tasted anywhere in the world.
The colors, textures and flavors create an utterly delectable experience that is accurately recreated in the cookbook recipes.
Both beginners and cullinary experts will find that "Vegetarian International Cuisine" offers only one argument for meatless cooking -- sensationally good, tasty food.
For true gastronomic delight easily achieved in your own kitchen, this cookbook is one you cannot afford to be without.

Good Side Dishes.......2006-06-18
I would not reccomend this book as one's only or first book on vegeatarian cooking. However, it does have some great recipes for side dishes. The potato dishes, imparticular, are tasty and easy to prepare. For all recipes, the directions are clear and the pictures helpful.
