 Recipes to Impress EVERYONE With Jun 26, 2009
By Jennifer
I am so grateful to finally have a recipe book that I can depend on for entertaining guests (vegan or not). I have not been disappointed in any of the meals I've tried, and in fact, some of the recipes are staples (trust me, you will become addicted to the tofu from the "Grilled Tofu Provencale" on page 106! My fiance and I have a supply of that in our fridge at most times during the grilling season).
My only complaint is that some of the ingredients are hard to find if you live in a small town; however, all the recipes are fairly simple and even easy once you get your hands on what you need, and in the end, the result is unbelievable.
If the authors happen to read this review, I would like to beg you to share your recipe for the Bistro Steak you serve in your restaurant. That meal is the best meal I have ever eaten in 32 years of eating!!

Great book for fantastic food Mar 03, 2008
By Michelle Shekari
The new book from Horizons is a must for great cooking that vegans and meat-eaters will love. The recipes are easy to follow and you'll be amazed by how good they taste. This book is great for beginners or for people will more experience in the kitchen. You won't regret buying this book because it'll add so much to the food you prepare; your friends and family will be really impressed and everyone will enjoy the great food. Horizons' new book has really stood from all the other recipe books that I've seen. If you're doubting whether you should buy this book, I would definitely recommend it!

 badly written recipes, never tested Mar 28, 2010
By K. Conrad
The restaurant "Horizons" in Philly is a truly fantastic dining experience. Because of that I was very please when someone gave me this cook book as a gift. I am a professional chef specializing in recipe development, writing and testing - and after making 6 recipes in this book I feel quite certain that these recipes were never tested as written. Amounts are off, heat and salt levels range from mild to over-the-top strong, and (worst) very important details are left out. Recipes call for ingredients without describing how they should be used (like 16 oz seitan - no mention of strips, chopped, sliced - ???). These are talented chefs -they need a professional recipe writer to help them with their next book so that the reflection is up to their talents.
 You have to know what your doing Feb 10, 2011
By E. Batchelder
I give this cook book three not two stars for a few different reasons. For starters I loved this restaurant when it first opened and then they moved but they are truly sensational. I also love their first cook book and think that that one was really well made and well planned out.
That being said, I have tried a few different recipes in this cook book and where I see where Rich is going I think that the flavors are off, perhaps as the other reviewer wrote they were not tested ? not sure either way they are either too strong in flavors or too weak. If you know how to cook and can taste as you go, you can sort it out and come up with something nice but not as good as their first cook book.
I do like some of the recipes and I do not regret the purchase of this book but I so wish it was as good as the first or perhaps had more of their original recipes from the original restaurant.
Amazing Jul 16, 2010
By AppleJax
Everything I've made in this cookbook has been amazing. My favorites are the Refried Red Lentil Tostadas, Spinach Salad and Miso Noodle Soup. Some of the recipes take some time, others are quick.
I am vegetarian, and have cooked from this cookbook many times for meat eaters, always to rave reviews.
I am lucky to live close to Horizons, an amazing restaurant. I'm happy they've shared their unique cuisine and amazing recipes in this cookbook!
