Book Description

Saving Dinner May 29, 2007
Your mother always said to eat your vegetables–and now you can cook them into delicious, savory meals!

Certified nutritionist and author of the popular Saving Dinner cookbooks, Leanne Ely has made it her mission to ensure that meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking are all easy as pie. Over the past decade, she has inspired people to revive the family tradition of eating together around the dinner table, sharing good times and good food. Now, in her fifth book, she goes vegetarian . . . and the results are–what else?–as tasty as they are good for you!

Created for the nearly 25 million full-fledged vegetarians across the country, and for anyone who sometimes wants a menu that focuses on something besides meat, Saving Dinner the Vegetarian Way shares cuisine that is as varied as it is healthy. With an array of mouthwatering dishes that even the pickiest eaters will love–including Orzo-and-Corn-filled Tomatoes, Shepherd’s Pie with Lentils, Bountiful Burritos, Broccoli Mushroom Noodle Casserole, Peppery Ziti with Fennel, Spicy Black Bean and Tofu Stew, Gingered Stir-Fry, and Cheesy Faux Soufflé–Ely gives a whole new meaning to the word “delicious.”

In addition to Ely’s trademark simple recipes, there are dinner menus (including side dishes!) for each season, categorized shopping lists to streamline your trips to the supermarket, and do-ahead tips to save kitchen time. Eating vegetarian has never been so easy or appealing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and fast and yummy!, June 25, 2007
This review is from: Saving Dinner the Vegetarian Way: Healthy Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Keep Everyone Happy at the Table (Paperback)
I've been VERY pleased with the recipes I've tried from this book. The results have been delicious. Tasty is the most important thing but there are three other things I really like--the first is that the recipes are quick to prepare; the second is that the recipes do not rely on those expensive (and to my taste-awful) fake meats from the freezer section; and the third was a pleasant surprise in that these are downright CHEAP to prepare. Always a good thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the Non-Vegetarian Too!, July 24, 2007
This review is from: Saving Dinner the Vegetarian Way: Healthy Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Keep Everyone Happy at the Table (Paperback)
I got this book to help prepare more meals with a vegetable and bean empahsis. I'm not a vegetarian but I do prepare a few meatless meals a week both for budget and health reasons (add to that I'm pregnant so I'm trying to add more vegetables into my diet). After going through the book I found quite a few recipes that sounded delicious and as an added bonus they are mostly quite simple to make.

Many of the recipes do call for using Tofu or other meat substitutes. That makes sense for the vegetarians as they do need to get protein from somewhere however those recipes didn't really appeal to me. It's not a big deal as I'm not using the meal plan I'm just trying to supplement our diet with some new recipes. There are also some recipes using beans that I don't particularly enjoy (such as lentils and lima beans) but I will either substitute other beans or use a different recipe.

Having grown up with three vegetarians I appreciate how easy this book is to use. It can be difficult cooking for vegetarians and this is a simple yet healthy meal plan that I think will really benefit vegetarian families. I also recommend it for the non-vegetarian trying to branch out in their eating habits. Beside the health benefits these recipes offer it can really help out your budget to cut out meat for a few meals!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great meal planning resource, October 24, 2007
This review is from: Saving Dinner the Vegetarian Way: Healthy Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Keep Everyone Happy at the Table (Paperback)
I was a little apprehensive before seeing this book, since it is easy to buy cookbooks but hard to actually use them. Well, this one is easy to use!
Recipes organized by season made it easy to find something warm for a cold night or something light after a long hot day. The shopping lists for each week are well organized and the ingredients pretty easy to find in a mainstream grocery store. My family enjoyed all but one recipe of the first week, and that one was just because my husband doesn't like green peppers (not the books fault!)
It's so nice to find a vegetarian cookbook that works well for meal planning. We eat no meat or fish and were so pleasantly suprised by this great book.
