5.0 out of 5 stars This is an great cookbook for busy veggies who hate to cook!, September 14, 1998

This review is from: Simply Vegan: Quick Vegetarian Meals (Paperback)

Not being someone who is a natural cook, I find this cookbook very helpful! I use it almost every day. Almost all the recipes have only small amounts of simple ingredients and do not require a lot of preparation. They are simple, easy, creative and very filling...not to mention delicious! This is a wonderful cookbook for people who hate to cook but love to eat!

3.0 out of 5 stars with a quick fix it'll do, January 19, 2001

This review is from: Simply Vegan: Quick Vegetarian Meals (Paperback)

While I was initially very excited about this book, I found that a lot of the recipes needed some help in the taste direction. It was one of my first vegan cookbooks, and after 7 years as a vegan, I know that we can do better than this. Some things in it I still use, like the veggie patties, but even those I had to add some salt, spices and garlic to get them to taste as delicious as I'd like (always my goal). Plenty of other books will give you recipes that need less tampering and more YUM. For die-hards only, as part of our collective veggie-dues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, August 2, 1998

This review is from: Simply Vegan: Quick Vegetarian Meals (Paperback)

Although I don't eat exclusively vegetarian, I have been eating more and more meatless meals. I always thought that if I ate vegetarian I would spend so much time chopping vegetables that I would become discouraged. I figured that I would go back to cooking frozen dinners after the first week. This book has proven to me that I can fit vegetarian cooking into a busy lifestyle. Wasserman has a knack for combining just the right 4 or 5 ingredients to make a vegan meal that is both filling and delicious. If you're interested in a more varied diet, and you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen, this is definitely the book for you.
