Book Description

October 3, 2007
Now you can make satisfying and flavorful vegetarian main-course meals any time, whether you’re a devoted vegetarian, a vegan hoping to add variety to your diet, or a meat-eater looking to give your meals a healthy boost. One-Dish Vegetarian Meals offers an abundance of fare from best-selling author Robin Robertson, with more than 150 favorite recipes for very taste, lifestyle, and season. Each dish, from warming comfort foods to refreshing main-dish salads, is easy to prepare using wholesome ingredients.
 
The recipes in this comprehensive new volume—including soups and stews, baked stuffed vegetables, pastas and casseroles, sitr-fries and sautés, hearty chilis, and speedy meals you can fix in a cinch—are ideal for family lunches or dinners, as well as for entertaining friends or taking to potlucks. Many of these globally inspired one-dish meals can even be made ahead and heated in the oven before serving.
While preparation is simple and cost-effective, these family favorites are full of flavor, minus all the fuss. And if you’re unable to consume dairy products—whether you’re a vegan, lactose intolerant, or simply watching your cholesterol—Robertson gives you dairy-free options throughout the book. From summer to winter, you’ll relish such recipes as Starstruck Minestrone with Yellow Peppers and Chickpeas; Eggplant Parmesan Lasagne; Green Beans and Rice with Sesame-Orange Sauce; Zesty Bombay Beans with Chutney; White Bean Cassoulet; and much more.
 
This collection of the finest recipes from three earlier works—Rice & Spice, Pasta for All Seasons, and The Vegetarian Chili Cookbook—features an all-new introduction by the author and a fully updated chapter dedicated to vegetarian cooking tips and insights on ingredients. Robertson provides helpful advice on how to properly cook and store staples such as rice and other grains, pasta, and beans (including tofu, tempeh, and seitan) and also suggest how to stock your pantry so that you’ll have all the tools you need to create fast, fabulous vegetarian meals!

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT for Gluten/Soy/Dairy Food Intolerances!!! December 31, 2007
Format:Paperback
My 3 and 2 year old, as well as myself, have food intolerances to soy, dairy and gluten. On top of that I am vegetarian and my kids don't really like meat. So I have a heck of a time finding recipes! I came across this cookbook and was skeptical. But I purchased it on a whim. I am so happy I did!!! The recipes are phenomenal!

The author rarely uses cheese in any of the recipes. If she does, it is usually parma sprinkled on top and can easily be omitted. The pasta dishes can all be subbed for a gf pasta, such as Tinkyada. She has a ton of rice dishes and uses all fresh ingredients, which eliminates contamination of soy and gluten. Some recipes call for soy products. Those can either be easily subbed for meat (for you meat eaters out there) or ignored altogether as there are plenty of other recipes.

Some of my favorite recipes in the book are: Black Bean and Avocado Rice Salad, Waldorf Rice Salad, Bell Peppers Stuffed with Rice/Spinach/Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Rotelle with Spicy Pumpkin Sauce, and Green Beans and Rice with Sesame-Orange Sauce.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous veggie cookbook December 20, 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this cookbook partly anticipating new and exciting recipes, partly anticipating it would join the other 40 cookbooks in my cupboard (covered in dust). What a fabulous surprise! So far, I haven't made anything I didn't like. The recipes are not too labor intensive, the ingredients are found at the local store - occasionally require a trip to Central Market.

As I get older, it is SO much easier to make one dish meals; less to clean up, less prep time. Experimenting with recipes from around the world spices things up as well- literally and figuratively. I highly recommend this title.

By the way, did I mention I don't like to cook?

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Book February 12, 2008
Format:Paperback
I didn't give this book a full 5 stars because the title of the book is misleading. I have all of this author's other cookbooks, and they're all very good. I got this one because I thought the recipes would be easy "one pot" meals. A lot of the recipes call for multiple pans while cooking for sauteing and sauces, hence making the title of the book false. I was looking for easy quick recipes, and these are not what I was looking for. Definitely NOT a one pan/pot cookbook. It also has a lot of obscure flavors in the recipes. If you're looking for quick, one pot comfort meals, this is not the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginning vegetarian cooks February 22, 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book as a gift for a friend who had checked it out of the library and who liked it so much she wanted to buy it. She is one of those cooks who needs a recipe to follow and doesn't really like complicated dishes. This is wonderful for those types of cooks who want tasty, easy and nutritious dishes. We have had several dishes from this cookbook, and they were all very good. Highly recommended for beginning vegetarian cooks and busy folks who want a good, fast dinner in the evening.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty close to what I was looking for April 17, 2008
By Mac
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Nearly ALL of my cooking falls into the "one-dish" category, because it's the easiest kind to cook up on a Sunday afternoon and freeze for meals throughout the coming week or month. So I was thrilled about this book. Most of it looks pretty good. The only thing that strikes me as odd is the massive chapter on pastas. I'm fairly sure I can figure out what to top pasta with. I wouldn't have minded if the suggestions were very original or of unique interest for vegans/vegetarians above and beyond the mere fact of being meatless... but they mostly weren't. However, I instantly forgave this when I reached the glorious chili chapter. No other book in my bloated cookbook collection pays such loving homage to the diverse possibilities of vegetarian chili. All I can say is Wow. I intend to try every single one of them. The chapters on baked dishes and stovetop simmers also look very promising from a make-ahead-and-freeze perspective.
One annoyance: ingredients that can only be found in specialty shops or ethnic groceries appear frequently. (I cook a LOT, and I have never heard of filé powder.) Fortunately, Robinson does acknowledge them, and frequently makes suggestions for less exotic substitutions or advises when you can do without them without detrimental effects on the flavor.
Overall, a book that I'm going to be spending a great deal of time with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Over a hundred stews, soups and casseroles January 16, 2009
Format:Paperback
Over a hundred stews, soups and casseroles for the author's favorite vegetarian meals makes One-Dish Vegetarian Meals a top pick. This combined with international influences - as in a Lebanese Fattush or a Vegetable Biryani - makes for a fine collection of simple main-course dishes perfect for any vegetarian needing a solid collection of main course dishes not 'fluffed' by lots of carbo side dishes. Highly recommended.

By AnneL
Format:Paperback
I've tried a lot of the recipes in this book, and they come out really well (like the title says, my husband likes them). I use this book regularly and have no fear of trying new recipes in the book. The dishes are consistently delicious and straightforward. A few ingredients are more exotic, but not impossible to find (or omit). The recipes don't rely on cheese or eggs as a protein source which makes them both environmentally- and heart-friendly. If you are looking for simple new ways to serve beans, tofu, veggie crumbles, nuts and quinoa, this is the book for you. My only criticism is that the serving sizes are off: you can either halve the amount of pasta or rice in most dishes or serve 6 to 8 instead of 4. I would recommend this to anyone trying to reduce their meat consumption or look after their heart health, not just vegetarians or vegans.
