5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous veggie cookbook, December 20, 2007

By	D. Ratigan "bookmom" (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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?

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT for Gluten/Soy/Dairy Food Intolerances!!!, December 31, 2007

By	J. Hill "Mom of preschoolers with food intole... (CNY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Book, February 12, 2008

By	Wishsong (Mankato, MN) - See all my reviews

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.
