I picked this cookbook up on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I've made over half of the recipes in the book, and have been very pleased with nearly all of them. Easy, fast, fresh, and healthy, plus he draws on many delicious cuisines. The photography is beautiful and the ingredients are easy to find. Great buy for a vegetarian cook!

I found this one of the best vegetarian books to own. Every recipe has a colour photo and all seem to be relatively straight-forward.
There are multiple levels of complexity in cooking style and in ingrediants. I've always added a few extra spices along the way so I get the item tasting the way I want. I haven't tried them all but I've tried enough to have success. I like that it has also given me some insight on how to use normally boring and bland ingredients...such as cauliflower.
This book will be great for you if you feel comfortable enough adding some extra spices. I didn't purchase it for the "organic" aspect so I can't comment on that. And I completely bipassed the page regarding information on all the vegetables.
The zucchini and mint fritters were great, as well as the spaghetti with broccoli, walnuts and ricotta. The pappardelle was great, and I can't wait to try the watercress soup.

This is a wonderful book. I purchased it as I have a vegetarian daughter who has lots of food allergies. Recipes are simple to follow and everything I have cooked has been delicious. I own many vegetarian books but like this the best. The sweet potato , coconut soup with Thai pesto is outstanding !

This book gives some great ideas for us carnivores looking to add some vegetarian meals to our diet. But the book is poorly written. It should be in step by step instruction, not paragraph form. This leads to hard to follow instruction and missing steps. If you buy this you will need to try the recipe at least twice to figure out the correct steps and temps.

I just haven't had much success with these recipes. The flavors are bland and nothing has turned out as expected. The pictures are beautiful and many of the combinations look interesting, but the dishes just don't taste as good as the pictures look. I've made about 7 of the recipes and I won't repeat a single one. I want to like this book but it's not nearly as good as many other vegetarian cookbooks out there.

Although it says easy recipes on the cover, most of these recipes have uncommon ingredients which means hunting down the ingredients at the market. The pictures are beautiful almost like art work which makes you very hungry.

Sad to say that I have yet to try one of these recipes. The print is so small and so faint, that it's really uncomfortable reading it, and I don't even need reading glasses yet! Read more
