A year-and-a-half or so ago we were over at my sister-in-law’s house and in browsing her bookshelves I discovered The Best Vegetarian Cookbook EVER<\/a>, and planned to pick myself up a copy right away. For weeks and months I searched, scouring all the bookstores in town, plus online booksellers, and even a few bookstores in Stockholm when we visited there. I even looked on English-language sites for an English copy, though I would rather have had it in Swedish, but all I got was nothing. I ultimately put it on my “watch list” on adlibris, and was saddened and dismayed to learn several months ago that it was definitivt slut<\/i>.*<\/p>\n

Fast forward to last Monday, when we got a flyer in the mail from the local bookstore, featuring a book with a similar title. Always on the lookout for good vegetarian cookbooks, I decided to check it out online, and what to my wondering eyes did appear? Not only the advertised book, but a book that, by all descriptions, was THE BOOK! I compared it carefully to the definitivt slut<\/i> book, and other than copyright date it appeared to be the same exact book. I wasn’t entirely sure, because it listed only a translator, not an author, and it’s possible that the same translator might have worked on two different but similar books. Also, the cover was different from the book I knew, but again, that’s not so unusual for new printings. I crossed my fingers and placed an order, then waited, waited, waited. <\/p>\n

Today the book finally came, and lo and behold, it IS the same book I’ve been dreaming of owning these many months. It’s like Christmas a whole month early!<\/p>\n
