Talk:The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook

NPOV
This article presents only the most flattering aspects of the book. It's written in an almost breathless style. Weren't there any negative reviews? Yoninah (talk) 20:57, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey, ! I tried to find as many mentions as I could. Totally open to critical reviews, but it's almost 50 years old and at the time of first publication I think it was pretty obscure, maybe because so few people were eating that way? It's one of those things that has become notable as it ages, I think. I searched newspapers.com but unfortunately the name of this book doesn't search well. Searched on author's name, but many of the references were about other things, as she seems to have been something of a spokesperson for The Farm at that time. You found some good info for the Ten Talents book that I didn't find, though, maybe it's out there and I just am not searching well? valereee (talk) 21:29, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sometimes websites aren't visible in every country. I'll take a look. Yoninah (talk) 21:49, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't come up with much in my search. But I notice that you have more information in the sources you did use that could embellish the article. I also noticed that you misquoted the assertion that it was the first to publish tempeh recipes in any language; the source says "any European language". Yoninah (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , wait, it does? Where does it say that? I didn't actually believe it the first time I read it and checked. valereee (talk) 22:20, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , I'm looking right at the ref, The Book of Tempeh, p147, and it says "the first tempeh recipes to be published in any language." valereee (talk) 22:23, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, I cited the wrong Shurtleff book. It's the History of Soy in Tennessee, p. 583. Look, it makes sense that recipes for tempeh would be published in Asian languages. Yoninah (talk) 22:26, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , of course it does, that's why I checked. I wonder if this edition of The Book of Tempeh was earlier than the other book? Maybe they got new info? valereee (talk) 22:28, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I streamlined the cites and just left the History of Soy in Tennessee book ref. Yoninah (talk) 22:30, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That'll work valereee (talk) 22:39, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
