What a find! For anyone looking for easy, tasty, low fat vegetarian recipes, this book is a "must have." Banana Dream Pie, Tofu Cheesecake, moist cornbread, zesty mushroom soup...all fabulous recipes that can be made in minutes. The majority of the ingredients used are available in regular grocery stores, which is helpful. I have 83 vegetarian cookbooks and this is one of my absolute favorites - because of its simplicity, consistently good recipes and because the recipes are fat free. By the way, it's vegan (no dairy, eggs, or any other animal products).

I have had this for a week and have already tried 3 of the recipes. Most of the recipes are very good, and they sound yummy. Great for vegetarians and I love the fact that they are nearly fat free! Very simple recipes and in an easy-to-use format.

My husband needed a quadruple by-pass. His kidneys started to give him a problem before he could have the surgery and the surgery was delayed. We heard about and bought and read the book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by, Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D.. Dr. Esselstyn and his wife "Ann Crile Esselstyn" suggested "Fat-Free and Easy" as a good book for fat-free recipes as well as the recipes in his own book. We have been cooking these easy and delicious recipes from Dr. Esselstys' book and from "Fat-Free and Easy" for the past four months. My husband has improved so much that a Stress Test and an Echocardiogram he had taken last Friday showed a big improvement in his health. His Total Cholesterol went from 166 to 108. His cardiologist and surgeon have decided that he should continue with the program he is following and they will check him again in six months. If he is doing as well, then, as he is right now he may not need the surgery. By the way, my husband is 80 years young. Oh, and his kidney are back to normal.
We couldn't have done all this without the wonderful recipes in "Fat-Free and Easy" that taught us a whole new way to cook and enjoy our meals. Thanks also to "Jennifer Raymond" the author of "Fat-Free and Easy. Smart Lady!

I'm new to vegan cooking and have found this cookbook to be very helpful with a lot of useful information for people like me who are just learning. The recipes are easy to follow and the ones I have made are very good. I have four vegan cookbooks now and I think with these four I have all I need to keep me going for a long time. The other three that I think are very good are; The Almost No Fat Cookbook by Grogan and The New McDougall Cookbook and The McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook. All these can be found here on Amazon.

This small, compact easy to read vegan cookbook is wonderful and the recipes have no added fat. This is a very hard to find combination in a vegan cookbook. I especially love the berry cobbler recipe and make it over and over again varying the fruit. My husband and family love it and it is sooo easy to make...The whole wheat pancackes are simple, and delicious. My 3 year old granddaughter loves them. What I like about all of her recipes, besides the fact they contain no added fat, is the simplicity of ingredients and preparation. I keep this little book right next to my stove and use it frequently. A must have for any vegan cook who is fat conscious.

I have tried several recipes so far and all have turned out wonderful. They are easy and taste delicious. Highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to cook fat free. The Brown Bread is moist and hearty, the Green Velvet soup smooth and filling, the cornbread is fantastic. I cant wait to try the Pumpkin Raisin Cookies.

If you want a healthy vegan book this is for you. If you want to buy things only from your local grocery store. Buy this book. I have both of her book and use them when I feel I am gaining weight. The recipes are all very good. I have tried all of them in both books.

This cookbook is excellent! The food tastes great, and can be made with ordinary ingredients that are at any respectable grocery store. Many soups can be adapted to crock pots, making them easier yet, and I just love that the recipes are all very healthy and easy to make. Even the desserts are healthy (but really good) and to many you can add a serving of ice cream if you want to.

No surprises, nothing exotic. Reliable recipes. A great book for the new vegan. A little of everything here.

I love this book! The recipe for oatmeal waffles is outstanding. I purchased Fat Free and Easy in 2001 and it has remained one of the most heavily used cooking references in my collection. It is definitely worth the money. Bravo, Ms. Raymond!
