Review: For students or not this is a great book filled with superb ideas, methods and simple recipes for the person on the go - you don’t have to be a student; this book serves vegetarians well by offering truly tasteful, healthy recipes that we can enjoy either as a main course or side dish while not spending hours in the kitchen. 142 fast and easy recipes for all kinds of vegetarian delights, breakfasts, salads, sandwiches, pastas and stirfries. It also provides our cookbook library a great comprehensive reference book for a variety of topics from learning more about no-so-commonly used veggies to tried and true techniques in creating the perfect accompaniments. A nice touch with this book is that every recipe includes a nutritional breakdown including calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and sodium. Also each recipe has suggestions for what to pair the dish with and on what page to find it. Well done! This cookbook is a complete, comprehensive guide to cooking vegetarian.
This book is truly useful for those that are interested in becoming vegetarians, or even vegans. It’s definitely one of the first books I would recommend to those moving from meat to meatless. There are a couple of others that you could also read and gain a wealth of knowledge and recipes from:
221 New Vegetarian Dishes
Delicious, Healthy And Easy - Tom’s Vegetarian Cookbook: Easy Yummy And Nutritional Vegan Recipes
The Black Art Of Cooking: The Raw Truth
The Golden Age Vegetarian Cook Book
Vital Facts about Foods: Included: 200 + Longevity recipes & 250 Food Analyses References
For each of these books you can rely on, I love vegetables, and everything I have tried in these books was just great. In fact, between them all, I have really come to rely on them book not only for recipes, but for reference as well.
Very good for a student or someone living on low funds (like most of us these days!), simple, easy, healthy and fast meals without meat.
And tasty too!
Another rare find that will suit any veggie cook is Venus’s book, that I really recommend and use each day:
221 New Vegetarian DishesDon’t believe “one” star review. I’m a senior citizen and have been a vegetarian for over 3 decades. I’ve had alot of cookbooks but I hate cooking. This cookbook fits me to a “T”. I absolutely love it. I bought this cookbook when I was a graduate student, and I found it an invaluable reference. It’s perfect for someone on a budget who’s interested in healthy vegetarian meals. Everything makes one or two servings, and none of the recipes call for outrageous or huge lists of ingredients. The recipes are delicious whether you’re a vegetarian or not. And many can be easily adapted to include meat. I’m no longer a student, but I still find that this is one of the cookbooks I use most frequently. I owned the previous edition and used it till the pages fell out. I bought the most current edition and it’s well loved, too. I’ve given this book as a gift many times and truly recommend it highly.Some recepies turned out really good and I was very happy with this book, but then I kept trying other recepies that were tasteless…so I have mixed feelings. I like the design, it’s small and easy to read. I just wish all recepies were good and tasty
