How to Start a business in Illinois.......2002-12-10
This is one of the best references that I have read on the subject. Contains information that one would need to run a business on a daily basis.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is starting a new business and wants to get a view of all paperwork to be done on a regular basis...
Book Description
Both a personal odyssey and a practical blueprint for new management strategies, The Soul Of A Business shows how to re-shape a business to manage for the common good: the good of the company, the good of the employees, and the ultimate good of the community that company serves. Tom Chappell, eco-entrepreneur and co-founder of Tom's of Maine (the leading producer of environmentally-friendly personal care products in America) used his personal quest for meaning as a springboard for a new management style that emphasizes spiritual values as the basis for real commercial success. Chappell and his company have proven that working people at every level can realize personal values and meaning in their jobs without compromising excellence, and competitiveness.

Don't let a business take itself over.......2006-04-25
This was a wonderful book to read. After reading it I felt as though I probably know its author pretty good. Not as a friend or someone I'd necessarily like to be friends with, but he seems to be very open about his past, his present, and his beliefs. I am sure that what he discloses in this book will help any wanta-be entrepreneur or small to medium sized business owner rethink whether he or she is leading his or her company in the right direction. I highly recommend that entrepreneurs give this book a read.
Some of the issues addressed are as follows:
1. Will the mission of the company allow the company's leader to enjoy a reasonably good state of mind or conscience?
2. What does a CEO have to do at work to feel fulfilled?
3. Is the CEO of the company a happy and fulfilled person?
4. Are people who work at the company happy at work?
5. Does the company interface well with the community in which it operates?
6. Does the community appreciate the company?
7. Do people trust one another who work for the company?
8. Does much discrimination exist at the company?
9. Is the company all about profits, or not?
10. Is competition good?
11. Is winning always good?
12. Is there more to life than making a buck?
The above issues are just the first 12 that came to mind while I was writing this review. There were many more, but I'm not going to list them all here. The above issues are representative of the content of the book. Maybe the book provides answers, and maybe it doesn't. But the book is great because it reminds business people who are caught up in the rat race of making a living that there is more to business than just making a buck. What comes to mind is: joy, happiness, success, family, friends, and a legacy. Is the business damaging the world, or helping to make it a better place?
I would have enjoyed the book more if the author had not started off explaining what the book "was not." And I would have had a more positive image of the book if the author had not mentioned that he got a lot of his theory from the Harvard Divinity School. There was no need to bring the Gospels into the "story." There is no question that things that can be learned from studying the Gospels are wonderful, but the same things can be learned from other sources. So why throw a religious slant on the issues? I think the book would have been more forceful if religion had be left out entirely.
I enjoyed hearing about the author's wife, but I would have enjoyed hearing more about her thoughts on helping to run the company she and her husband co-founded. I felt a little cheated not hearing a woman's perspective on some of the issues. After all, the author points out that women should be included in management decisions, and that his wife's in fact were.
Provides foundation to business ethics.......2000-11-13
The Soul of a Business, though lesser known than many of the myriad of business advice books, does a better job than any other in giving a foundation from which to work.
The business guru often spends an entire book telling us how to treat others. Chappell tells us what basic principles he found that led him to this position of responsible commerce.
Shelves are full of books offering cliches and platitudes on why why ethical behavior leads to a better company and eventually more profits. However, Chappell's book goes back to the root question - why should we as individuals or companies seek one kind of relationship over another? In other words, what should guide us in how we treat each other?
For a book that delivers far beyond simple diagrams and behavior modification tricks, a book that provides the philosophical foundations of Buber and Edwards to guide us in how we should interact with our employees, customers and community read Chappell's book. I ended up owning both paperback and audio tape.
A book for the business owner who has everything.......2000-10-02
This is a nice book for anyone who owns or plans to own a business, and is seeking more than just financial rewards. Lots of companies are sharing their wealth with the rest of the world, but not many take the time to write a book about how it can be done, and how rewarding it can be. I found this book to be inspiring and entertaining.
A wake up call for traditional, one-dimensional managers........1998-12-22
For those of us who have had difficulty reconciling our personal desires to make a difference with our career demands to turn a profit, this book connects. It's a study in managing value complexity and speaks well to the enormous rewards of striving for a goal much higher than improving ROE. Not all of us can take the same route as does Tom Chappell, but, if we're to be truly fulfilled by our business lives, we must find our own way to his destination.
Socially conscious business survived huge corporate growth.......1998-09-14
This is the Tom's of Maine Tom Chappell. His story picks up after Tom's has become just another profit seeking business infested with MBAs and looking at the bottom line. It seems that Tom is disallusioned, depressed and goes searching for personal answers by enrolling in Harvard Divinity School. His search helps him and his wife bring the company back to the environmentally and socially conscious organization they began. His story gives some insights and suggestions on how to achieve this mind set turn around in any corporate structure.
Book Description
For this tenth anniversary edition of her popular The Uncheese Cookbook, author Jo Stepaniak has completely revised her acclaimed orginal recipes and added many new ones. Includes an introduction by Vesanto Melina, RD, on safely eliminating dairy products from the diet.
Customer Reviews:
I Remember Cheese Fondly.......2007-10-02
I remember cheese fondly although I don't eat it anymore. Jo Stepaniak's The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook offers recipes which make a valiant attempt to imitate the texture and flavor of dairy products, but the most successful aspect of the book is that it makes the comfort food quality of cheese available to those who may have never expected to experience it again.
My favorite recipes from the book so far are the Gooey Grilled Cheez, the Durritas seasoning (the taste of Nacho Cheese Dorritos), the Unprocessed Cheez Sauce (I like it on burritos), Spinafels (Spinach Ricotta Balls), the French Onion Soup Gruyere and most recently the Philadelphia Potato Chowder. The book contains a variety of salads, dressings, soups, pasta dishes, deserts, and block uncheeses. Everything I have tried from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook has turned out nicely. I strongly recommend this book to vegans (or to anyone else) who would like to experience a unique collection of comfort foods.
A dairy-free miracle.......2007-09-20
Wow, talk about a cheesy resource! With my focus on all things dairy-free, I was amazed that I had not yet picked up a copy of this cookbook. I think that two things held me back: I don't really miss cheese, as I was never a big fan of the stuff; and I couldn't imagine an entire cookbook focused on one type of food.
Well unbeknownst to me, this wasn't just a book about making fake cheddar. Sure, it contains tons of made from scratch cheezes, from slicing Swizz Cheez, to the softer Brie, to a saucy Nacho Cheez. Yet, it goes so many steps further, reminding me just how many foods rely on that creamy and cheesy taste. Blintzes, fondue, pesto, pizza, quiche, alfredo sauce, cheesecakes, French onion soup, lasagna ... you name it and the author Jo Stepaniak has the recipe answer. I was impressed.
Seriously, this is a must have book for any former cheese-loving vegan or dairy-free consumer. Sure, creating an exact duplicate sans dairy can be an uphill battle, and depending on each person's tastes, one recipe or another may not be their perfect fit. But I would be truly shocked if you couldn't find at least a handful of recipes in this cookbook to soothe your inner cheese-craving beast.
I recently trialed the Traditional Macaroni and Cheez, and can't wait to sample some of the calzones (I do miss pizza) and focaccias.
Making the actual "cheeses" does require a few ingredients that may be new-to-you. Luckily, there really are just a handful of these special ingredients required, allowing you to buy a good sized package of each once, and then reap the rewards of various "cheeses" for months. Also, while tofu definitely makes itself known in this cookbook, a surprising number of recipes are soy-free. In a good majority of the recipes, the author uses a variety of nuts, seeds, beans, grains, and seasonings to achieve the right consistency and flavor.
Amazing.......2007-08-25
I just purchased this book, and today I made the Gee Wiz. I'm telling you, this stuff is incredible. I've read most of the reviews here and I took the advise offered. I used a bit less lemon juice and a bit less Nutritional yeast. It was a hit with the entire family. DH and I have gone vegan for medical reasons. He really misses his cheese. This stuff hit the spot. He was ready to eat the entire container. I can't wait to try more of the recipes. When I do, I will be back to update my review.
Ok for those who want to know, it does not taste exactly like cheese.
However if I had not been the one to make it and had it on snack table with crackers, I would have been asking for the cheese spread recipe. It is really that good. I will definitely be making more of this and I will be taking it to homes that are not vegan. I can't wait to see their reactions.
A Great Way to Break a Cheese Habit!.......2007-05-13
As a vegetarian who is struggling to break a cheese habit in order to go completely vegan, this book is a God send. The recipes are absolutely delicious, and I've even used my slow cooker with several. Try it; you'll be glad you did!
Great source of decent recipes.......2007-05-07
You'll have to have access to a health foods/specialty store to buy some of the ingredients but if you're on a dairy-free restriction this book can at least help you have some sort of normalcy back to your diet. If you're used to eating gooey dairy goodness this food probably won't live up but if you've been missing your big ol' bowl of mac-n-cheese while living with new restrictions the recipe here will come pretty close. Good food, easy directions and a great resource for hard-to-find alternative foods.

Nice book, varied ethnic recipes.......2006-06-20
A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". With more than 500 cookbooks in my collection I am usually disappointed in my recent cookbook acquisitions. This book is a wonderful addition to any cookbook library for those that are interested in vegetarian cooking. This book is a vegetarian cookbook but does include vegan recipes as well.
The book is subdivided as follows:
Soups and Appetizers
Light Lunches and Suppers
Main Courses
Salad and Vegetable Dishes
Parties and Picnics
Virtually Vegetarian
Desserts and Breads
This cookbook provides recipes from many different cuisines. There are Indian, Indonesian, Irish, English, American, Italian, Greek, Russian, Thai and French to mention a few. If you are a looking for a cookbook that offers a wide variety of vegetarian recipes this is a nice book.
Each recipe has a full color photo provided on the page opposite the recipe. The authors also include smaller photos of some of the intermediate steps in the recipes.
Some of the measures are imprecise. For example "grate a small piece of ginger." However, since I always season to taste this is not a big issue for me.
The specific recipes that I have found to be very good are: The Chunky Vegetable Paella (vegan), Multi-mushroom Stroganoff, Persian Rice and Lentils with a Tahdeeg, Ratatouille Tart (vegan when you leave out the Mozzarella), and Red Onions Stuffed with Feta and Pine Nuts.
Overall I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to add more meatless meals into their life, or anyone that is considering becoming a vegetarian. The dishes are varied enough that you will not miss the meat. Do not buy this book if you "Vegetarian and Vegetable Cooking" by Christine Ingram and Roz Denny, the recipes are duplicates of that book. Same recipes and same photos.
not the best cookbook for vegans.......2001-08-02
while this book is more or less acceptable for most vegetarians, too many recipes contain eggs and dairy to be appropriate for vegans. a few contain anchovy paste or oyster sauce, neither of which i consider to be very vegetarian, but as this book has kind of a dated feel to it, that could explain the sketchy ingrediants. even ovo-lacto vegetarians may be uncomfortable with recipies that use eggs as heavily as these do. the nut roast for holidays is a huge headache, the vegetarian gravy an even bigger one. beyond that, this cookbook has not been used in my house a whole lot.
The best vegetarian cookbook.......2000-08-20
There are so many vegetarian cookbooks out there. I first found this book in the community college's library. I tried 4 dishes from this book, and they tasted great. I had to buy it. I recommend it to my friend, and she bought one too. All the dishes are healthy and flavory, and you don't even remember they are meatless.
A Must for Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians Alike!.......2000-05-09
An easy to follow cookbook with step by step pictures. The creativity and variety of the recipes appeal to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. I haven't found a recipe I didn't like in this book!
The Best Cookbook (Vegetarian or Otherwise).......1999-11-26
This is one of the only vegetarian cookbooks I still use (my husband and I are no longer vegetarian). The recipes are absolutely excellent! They are easy to follow and taste really good. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who likes a lot of variety in their diet!

Paul Gayler is a sometimes-protégé of Anton Mosimann and is now head chef at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. He has worked in Indian and Chinese restaurants and is also something of a celebrity chef, with a couple of previous books, as well as television appearances, under his belt. The recipes in his Ultimate Vegetarian Cookbook, which include eggs and dairy products, are as cosmopolitan as you would expect from such a pedigree and are intended to make the reader "change the way you think about vegetarian cookery." Typical of his approach are starters such as Goat's Cheese Latkes with Beetroot Salsa, a clever reworking of Eastern European flavors, and Oriental Mushroom Sushi Purses. Soups include the irresistible-sounding Lazy Caribbean Soup, a sweet, spiced puree of tropical fruits served with a savory, guacamole-like salsa, and the heartier Smoky Corn Velouté. A "Tarts and Pies" chapter ranges from the delicate Salsify and Wild Mushroom Tart to the more robust Goan Potato, Pea, and Mint Pasties. A pumpkin risotto is transformed with Thai flavors. North American Succotash is embedded in a polenta pudding. Wild Mushroom Stroganoff with Spaetzle combines the mushrooms in their cream sauce with Alsatian spinach noodles. For dessert, Gayler poaches his peaches with saffron, cinnamon, and star anise; his Pink Grapefruit Sorbet is flavored with rosewater; and his chocolate tart gets an unexpected charge from a dash of chili oil. An imaginative, beautifully presented collection of recipes. --Robin Davidson, Amazon.co.uk

Beautiful pictures and helpful directions.......2004-03-23
There are many worthy vegetarian cookbooks on the market today, and I believe this one provides the greatest pictures of any book out there. Every recipe has a picture, and many ingredients are pictured by themselves. I found this feature wonderfully helpful when I wanted to make a particular recipe: I went to the local Asian market looking for several ingredients, and used this book as a picture dictionary.
The recipes themselves are unique, adding fare that I have not seen in other vegetarian cookbooks. The only warning: many of main dishes need at least an hour to prepare. There are salads, soups, and other appetizers that take less time, but this is not a "meal in 30 minutes" kind of book.
Bon appetit!
This is the best veggy book I have seen........1999-07-16
I checked this book out of my local library. So much veggy food all looks the same, this book wowed me. I stick post it notes on the pages I plan to use. 33 recipes looked good enough to try. In most cook books, if I get 3 or 4 good recipes I am glad I bought the book. I returned the book to the library and bought a copy. Good book. Good food
