Review: Clear and easy-to-follow directions! This great book is filled with superb ideas, methods and simple recipes for veggie eaters. 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. Well done! This cookbook is a complete, comprehensive guide to cooking vegetarian.
I have a large variety of cookbooks, but this one offers many different recipes and ways to try new foods or new preparations of familiar foods. I’ll go months sometimes without looking at this book. Every time I go back to it, I’m impressed by how good it is.
Not only does this book have great recipes, but it will totally add ideas to your cooking arsenal.
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.
I have really enjoyed this book. I look at it almost everyday. The recipes are loved by even non vegetarians. My family’s favorite is the Ziti Lasagna.In a word - fantastic!
Lots of easy and yummy veggie recipes, and lots of fun stories about food and family. I really enjoyed it, and the recipes are basic, fun and the ingredients are easy to find in everyday stores.
This is a very good book and you’ll make many wonderful meals using it.
Another that I found that I really like was
221 New Vegetarian Dishes
You will enjoy both! Cheers!i have tried quite a few of these recipes and were surprisingly VERY GOOd…not to mention i have lost some weight!! YAY!I was looking forward to receiving this cookbook based upon the majority of other reviews. I was disappointed to find it has the most basic recipes that can be found in any cookbook or don’t even require a cookbook. Examples: Fried Potatoes - Starchy white potates, oil for frying, salt for seasoning. Spinach Salad - 3 cups spinach, balsamic dressing, sliced mushrooms, hard boiled egg. And a chocolate chip cookie recipe that can be found on the back of any bag of chocolate chips. Nothing new or innovative here. Also, there’s no nutritional values for the recipes, but if you consider french fries and chocolate chip cookies “vegetarian cooking,” you may not be interested in the nutritional content of the recipes. Unfortunately, I think this cookbook will end up in a garage sale or donated to charity.
