Excellent even for non-veggies Rating:

I received this cookbook as a Christmas present from friends who are residents of Athens. I have only eaten at The Grit once, and so I am far from being an expert on their menu, and I didn't have any "favorites" that I was compelled to try first. So I opened it up and attempted the first recipe that caught my eye, the Cinnamon Raisin-Craisin Bread. Oh baby.... this is the good stuff. The recipe was well written and easy to follow, and the resulting bread was out of this world. This was just the first of many. All of the recipes I have tried have been great, especially the brunch dishes and cakes, and I haven't missed the meat one bit. Bravo, and thanks to my friend for sending it since I never would have known about this gem without her!

I was a regular of the Grit back in the days when the hottest things on the menu was herbal tea and coffee. The food was always delicious and I am glad to see the original "staple" beans and rice are there, if just for old-times sake! If you like vegetarian food but seek variety and simple creativity, this is the book for you! Filled with lots of anecodotes, recipees, and serious knock down flavor.
The best food on earth Rating:
5 / 5
The Grit is one of the most delicious, non-pretentious restaurants on the planet. I cannot complain about a single item I have ever eaten there, and their cookbook reproduces their vegetarian cuisine perfectly. This is excellent vegetarian fare, all prepared so perfectly that even the carnivores among you will enjoy them. From their scrumptious tofu and veggie dishes to HEAVENLY desserts, you can't go wrong with The Grit Cookbook!
