Madison continues her quest to make vegetarian food palatable to all, banking on her belief that soups are "almost universally popular." Still, though the author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
mostly refrains from using tofu, few of her recipes are as "uncontrived" as she claims: for instance, Roasted Fall Tomato Soup is vastly better than anything canned, but the curry, saffron and quinoa swirled in may intimidate the palates of less ambitious cooks. The other recipes—including hearty broths, bean soups, lentil soups, grain-thickened soups and soups for each season—either riff on classics or take wholly innovative directions. This approach will attract experienced cooks bored with the usual noodle soups or minestrones, and who have access to top-quality spices and vegetables, plus plenty of time and patience. While not all of the recipes are demanding, readers who are willing to commit the necessary effort will be rewarded by rich layers of taste in elegant selections like Rice and Golden Turnip Soup with Fontina Cheese. An excellent opening section on stock sets the stage, and in the margins Madison provides helpful tips on ingredient buying, preparation, presentation and wine accompaniment. Her fans, as well as soup connoisseurs, are sure to lap this book up eagerly. Photos. Agent, Doe Coover.

The latest book from the talented Madison (Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone) is a lovely collection of more than 100 vegetarian soup recipes for all seasons. There are four chapters of recipes grouped by main ingredient -e.g., -Hearty Bean Soups - -followed by chapters of recipes for each season, from Spring Asparagus Soup Three Ways to a hearty winter Potato and Green Chile Stew. Madison begins with a helpful introduction to the basics of making a good vegetable soup, with lots of ideas for improvising, and many of the recipes include suggestions for variations. There are also sidebars on ingredients and other relevant topics throughout, along with wine (or beer) suggestions for each soup. For all collections.
