5.0 out of 5 stars veg cooking for those who don't like to cook!, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Meatless Meals for Working People: Quick and Easy Vegetarian Recipes (Paperback)

I LOVE this cookbook--it's the only one I have which is truly easy and brainless. (i.e, "throw these six things into the pot, and cook at med. heat for 20 min.") I became veg as a pre-teen, with a mother who hated to cook, so I never learned how to cook ANYTHING! Now, trying to go vegan, I need to know how to make healthy food for my husband, toddler and baby too! This book is awesome for people like me who don't know how to cook and don't have a lot of time to learn. If, however, you know how to cook/like to cook, you'd probably be better off with something more fancy. This IS, however, a GREAT starting-out, "idea book".

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and Easy, February 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Meatless Meals for the Working People: Quick and Easy Vegetarian Recipes (Paperback)

I think that this book (reviewing 1991 version) is well worththe money. It's not costly yet it provides a nice overview of the vegetarian lifestyle and the recipes are varied and easy to make. I thought that the variety of dishes was excellent. I would have liked to see a low-fat section of recipes but most of the recipes are easy to make and taste good. I think that the menu selection is quite thorough and there are lots of good ideas for breakfast and also for entertaining.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst cookbook I've used, February 26, 2006

By 

Jen "cook this" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meatless Meals for Working People: Quick & Easy Vegetarian Recipes (Paperback)

I've been a vegetarian for 10 years, and I think this cookbook is just awful. Example: Zucchini Bake ingredients are zucchini, vegan cheese, tomato sauce. Personally, I like food with flavor.

Also, the entire first half of the book is a list of restaurants and which of their ingredients are veggie. I felt robbed when I bought this used. Don't waste your money on this book.
