 One of the best cook books I've ever owned! October 19, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
OK. This is without a doubt one of the best cook books I've ever owned. It has pretty well everything you could ever ask for from a cookbook. There are recipes in here that I will never tire of making - and the range of flavours and genres and styles is just great. Jennifer Trainer Thompson takes you from the hearty stew to the elegant supper and back again. The book's best feature is how innovative the recipes are - the flavour combinations are exciting and seductive. This is a MUST have.
 Excellent August 17, 1999
The meals are great. If you like it spicy, this book has it. Additionally, the range of genres is fantastic. You can do oriental, mexican, italian, etc. Best of all, a great deal of the meals are vegan, not just vegetarian. You don't have to worry about your diet. It's there. The recipes aren't simple, but they're worth it.
Not a Vegetarian cookbook alone, a great spicy resource too! August 31, 1997

Vegetarian foods are not just for vegetarians. With today's healthier eating and with so many people having alternatives to the main meat dish, many books have been written towards vegetarian eating.Jennifer Trainer Thompson has written Jump Up and Kiss Me ~ Spicy Vegetarian Cooking published by 10 Speed Press. I met the "Hot" Jennifer in New York recently, and she sent me a copy of her newest book, and after reviewing this one, I now want her others that include the Great Hot Sauce Book, Hot Licks and Trail of Flame. She was also involved in a boater's cookbook, the Yachting Cookbook. Jump Up and Kiss Me is a nominee for The James Beard Awards and many of the recipes show why. Some of the recipes that are found in this book include: Sundried Tomato Relish with Cayenne Toasts; Roasted Shitake and Walnut Pate; Sweet Potato Fritters with Jerk Sauce; Artichokes with Rosemary-Curry Vinaigrette; Toasted Corn Salsa, Portuguese Vegetable Stew; Shitake Stew with Crisp Polenta; Buckwheat Pasta with Peanut-Coconut Sauce; Rice Noodles with Vegetables, tofu, and Watercress; Pasta Gratin with Mustard Greens; Focaccia Pizza with Pears, Walnuts, and Gorgonzola; Chutney, red Pepper, and Grilled Cheddar Sandwich; Hot 'n' Dirty Rice Salad; Jalapeno-Onion Corn Sticks; and Rosemary-Serrano Red Wine Vinegar.The book is filled with many great recipes with a lot of ingredient information throughout the book. There are no suggestions to alternatives to the ingredients used for other recipe ideas, and in my opinion the paper the book is printed on, is not conducive for a cookbook. The paper is a newsprint style absorbent paper and not a slick cleanable paper that should be used for cookbooks. This would have been a great book to have some of the recipes in full color photographs, yet I'm, sure due to higher cost were not available. In spite of these few setbacks, Jump Up and Kiss Me is a great vegetarian cookbook, and an even better spicy recipe reference. Most of the ingredients are available through your local grocer, with only a handful that may need to be purchased from a specialty store.
