Quick Delicious Recipes,
By Alicia (Bellingham, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook (Hardcover)
I'm not much of a cook, so I love the breakdown for prep time and cook time. This gives me a relistic idea of how long a recipe takes from begining to end (the provided times are actually acurate). There are many "fast" recipes located in boxes throughout the book. Every single recipe that I have made has been delicious. My current favorites are Potato Gnocchi w/tomato sauce and Tex Mex Chilli beans, both of these take less than half an hour when using canned stewed tomatoes and pre-packaged gnocchi. If you have an entire afternoon to cook, the Minestrone soup is amazing. Even my non-vegetable eating boyfriend likes it. There are beautiful pictures on every page, and fyi food tidbits and techniques in the margins. Each recipe is rated in difficulty from one to three stars. Most recipes are one star(easy), perfect for me! I am not a vegetarian, but I like to alternate healthy vegetarian meals with meat based meals. This cookbook makes eating vegetarian simple and delicious!

This review is from: The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook (Hardcover)
I recommend this book for vegetarians and non-vegetarians who enjoy expanding their meal variety. The book has everything from quick dishes for the busy week nights to elegant appetizers for entertaining. The pictures of the dishes are colorful and mouthwatering.

great cookbook for all food lovers,
By bookloverFLA (south of Sarasota FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook (Hardcover)
wonderful recipes with touches of many countries cuisines. I loved the photos accompanying the recipes, really inspirational. you really get a lot for your money with this book. as always I checked it out of the library and then wanted it to stay in my home so I bought it.I found the recipes not difficult but not so simplistic that the food was one dimensional. Easy to whip up dinner in a small amount of time with ingredients on hand.
