originally purchased this cookbook for the nutritional breakdown that is listed @ bottom of every recipe, I was watching my protein level due to some disturbing numbers from medical tests,I
found that I liked every recipe I tried they all tasted really good, a few of them were a little bland but simply by slightly increasing the spices that they called for took care of that. Not only were the recipes good but my cholesteral improved from 256 to 172, blood sugar greatly improved, I've lost weight as long as I stay with it, and too much protein situation improved to the point of seeing the specialist every 6 months instead of every 6 weeks. I feel much better eating this way, a big thanks to the author.

Of all my vegetarian cookbooks, this is the one that I turn to again and again. It's comprehensive--includes everything from appetizers to desserts--and I have yet to come across a recipe in this volume that fails to live up to its promise. While not a strictly vegan cookbook, the author always suggests substitutes for non-vegan ingredients. A personal favorite is the "Mexican Lentil Casserole"--guaranteed to win over die-hard lentil resisters

My sister gave me this book years ago. Not being into cooking at the time, I didn't even open it until recently. I've discovered a new hobby and a new joy---cooking! For a total novice like me, the authors make it simple and easy. Their recipes are excellent...full of flavor, using spices well, tasty but low fat. I am especially enjoying their section on grains and am having an adventure experimenting with millet, kasha, and brown rice. I would imagine that more experienced cooks too would like this book; there are some recipes that look more complex. But the 9-10 ones that I've tried have been quick and easy for a beginner. If you want healthy, vegetarian food that tastes great and doesn't require you to be a gormet chef, get this book!

I bought this book several years ago used and have dog earred most of the pages.
The recipes are simple for the most part with common ingredients. Some of the recipes are a little bland for my taste but are easily tweaked to provide more robust seasoning. Many rely on pasta as a main ingredient.
There are lots of suggestions on ways to use tofu and how to make it family friendly including many that I've never seen anywhere else.
There are tons of recipes to make creamy sauces with less or no fat.
Anyone looking to reduce their fat or explore vegetarian eating should consider this a staple in their recipe collection.

I love this cookbook. I've had it for years and have tried countless recipes, all of which turn out deliciously. Alot of the recipes can be made in little time, and with common ingredients. They are also economical, easy and delicious. It has something for an elegant dinner and something for a quick and easy dinner. GET this book. It is totally worth it.

Finally a vegetarian cookbook without all kinds of bizarre ingredients to track down...I have numerous vegetarian cookbooks, but this one is one of my favorites !

I'm new to vegetarianism and have searched for good cookbooks. Glad I discovered this one. It is great! The recipes are easy and quick and made from items that are easy to find. Can't wait to try every recipe in there.

Having newly changed my diet to vegan, this book provided easy to prepare foods that tasted great!

This book is fabulous. The recipes are easy and always delicious
