THE VEGETARIAN MOTHER’S COOKBOOK Reviews & Testimonials “Finally, a vegetarian cookbook for pregnant women that takes into account not only good nutrition but also ease of use. Olson (Simply Natural Baby Food) offers meals designed for each trimester of pregnancy and every lactation period of breastfeeding; these dishes are based on her family's favorites, with ingredients that are never exotic or hard to find in the local grocery or health food store. Many are vegan, and all are simple to prepare and delicious (e.g., Shepherd's Pie and Mushroom Stroganoff). Breakfasts, quick lunches, main dishes, snacks, desserts, beverages, and more are covered. Complete nutritional information, with key nutrients highlighted, is provided for each recipe. Including an excellent index, this innovative book is heartily recommended for public libraries.” “Cathe Olson's book is a welcome, comprehensive and trustworthy resource for vegetarian families.” “I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook . I am 5 queasy weeks into my first pregnancy, and I can't imagine how much worse I would feel without recipes like Miso Noodle Soup (which I have eaten every day this week) and all of the teas. Your book has introduced me to so many things I didn't know existed (nutritional yeast flakes and chia seeds, to name a few), and it has really helped me to understand what it means to eat a whole-foods, plant-based, well-rounded vegetarian diet. To tell you the truth, the cookbook kind of feels like a reliable friend waiting for me in the kitchen. I really, really appreciate all of the work, research, and love you put into it! Thank you so much!” “The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook is an essential guide for mommy and family.

When a woman becomes pregnant, health and good nutrition take on a whole new and higher level of importance. Cathe Olson clearly understands this, and with the release of her new book The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook, provides a comprehensive guide to healthy eating during pregnancy, complete with recipes the whole family will enjoy. I also like all the extra details and information in the book: sample menus, time-saving tips, nutritional information ? all help make the book thoroughly readable, more than just a cookbook. I’m so excited with Cathe’s new book and I know you will be too! Indeed, The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook is one of the best cookbooks I’ve read to date! ” “As more and more people become vegetarian, or just limit their meat intake, more pregnant women will need nutritious and tasty recipes to sustain them and their babies-to-be. This book is the answer!” “Blessings frequently come along in unexpected ways. The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook by Cathe Olson is one of those true blessings that lend creative support to vegetarian or vegan women planning a family, experiencing pregnancy, or are presently lactating. . . . any family could benefit from the constellation of wholesome recipes made easier with Cathe Olson’s numerous time-saving tips and well-planned meal suggestions.” “I wanted to write to you and tell how much I appreciate your latest book, Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook . I am in my 3rd month of pregnancy with our 2nd natural child. After our last child was born, I experienced terrible hypothyroidism and gained more weight than when I was 9 months pregnant. With this pregnancy, I can only gain 15 pounds. I feel like I have made nearly half the recipes of the book! Maybe I will make them all by my due date. :) The chia seeds have been great and our 11-year-old who has ADD has been adding chia gel to her breakfast. She swears it helps her. “I just wanted to write and let you know how much I love your cookbook The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook. My husband got it for me for Christmas but before then, I had renewed it 3 times from the library! It’s my favorite!!!” “I just wanted to let you know that I tried the Ricemilk recipe both ways. The stovetop method is very good, but I love that I can sleep and make rice milk at the same time!!! I just start the crockpot before I go to sleep, and in the morning the rice is done and ready for blending! “I want to tell you that I love your Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook! I borrowed it from my local library when I was first planning my pregnancy and I had to go right out and buy my own copy. I use it all the time and it's the first time in a long time that I've bought a cookbook and loved every recipe I've tried...I use it all the time. Thanks again for the great book!” “I have been using your Vegetarian Mother's cookbook and have found it a valuable tool in my kitchen that is mostly vegan and hypo-allergenic. As a designer, I must compliment you on the cover too! I buy it for all my pregnant girlfriends who don't know how to eat properly.” “I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful book, The The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook. A newly-minted vegetarian myself, I thought "well now, what am I going to cook for my 3 year old!!" I took a few books out of the library and yours was hands down the best. My favorite recipe so far is the Fragrant Baked Rice. All I can say is WOW. So simple, SO delicious. Oh, and the waffles, and the scones... I could go on and on. :) I am now going to get myself a copy . . . how could I go wrong! “I LOVE your book! I found it and used it daily throughout my pregnancy and continue to use the great information and recipes, as I am nursing my 22-month old. Moreover, my gestational diabetes was beautifully managed due in no small part to these practical and fantastic recipes. I had a healthy baby and great birth. Lastly, I am a nurse-midwife and would like you to know that not a day goes by that I don't bring out your book (creases and all). I have recommended it more times than I can count. I find myself preaching about protein daily, but having a great resource with recipes helps so much. Thanks so much for a fantastic resource!” “I nearly kicked myself when I read the recipe for rice milk! My daughter has milk and soy allergies, so we bought rice milk (very expensive and hard to find). Thanks so much for writing this book. I don't want to live without it!” “My name is Lisa and I am 36 weeks pregnant. I bought your book when I was 5 weeks pregnant and having been loving it and use it all the time. My husband who isn't even vegetarian, is ready to become vegetarian with all the wonderful dishes I have made. We love the tofu scramble, asian noodles, shepherd’s pie, millet pudding, sesame molasses cookies and the mushroom stroganoff is the absolute best! I refer to this book all the time for my nutrition and am really happy I found it. The recipes were really easy to follow and change ingredients if I didn't have something. I just noticed you have a baby food cookbook also. I will have to find a copy of that. I bought this book at Golden Bridge Yoga in LA.” “I just wanted to say that I really love your cookbook! I've been using so many of your recipes, and have loved every single one! My husband was especially fond of the broccoli noodle casserole and the tofu enchiladas, and I love the falafels with yogurt-tahini sauce and the cream of broccoli soup. I was a little hesitant about using miso, but I bought the mild yellow variety, and it is my new favorite ingredient! Seriously. If I'm debating between two recipes, and one has miso and the other doesn't, I pick the miso one. :-) Thanks so much.” “I really love your cookbook. It is a great resource and the recipes come together very nicely. Tastes that I would never expect and ingredients I never knew of or how to use before (like nutritional yeast…) Thank you for putting the effort in to create this collection of treasures, my family loves it.” “I am such a fan of your books! I'm on my third pregnancy and have used Veg. Mom's no matter what stage of life I'm in, and my kids are avid eaters out of Simply Natural Baby Foods.” “The five cookbooks arrived and I can't wait to pass them along. My youngest daughter (and son-in-law) are vegetarians and during her pregnancy, we discovered your cookbook while shopping together in a health food store herein MI. She lives in CA and I started to hear about how she enjoyed the meals from the recipes in your book. I visited them just before and after my granddaughter was born. I focused on making meals for them and loved using your cookbook, I'm not a vegetarian (but eat very little red meat) and found using the postpartum recipes you listed, I could make meals we all could enjoy. And so your cookbook became a topic of conversation with my other daughters as well. So now we all have a copy of your book even though there's only one vegetarian mother among the four of us:) And we all can eat more healthy and easy to prepare food. Thanks!~”
