5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful August 12, 2012

By susanh

Format:Paperback

This may be my new favorite cookbook. My husband and I have tried three of the recipes: Fresh Corn, Zucchini, Onion, and Basil Frittata; Roasted Ratatouille Tart; and Walk-in-the-Woods Grilled Pizza. All three have been superb, and I have several others picked out to try soon. Middleton explains each step of the process very clearly. I had always wanted to try grilling a pizza, but I worried about doing it successfully. Her instructions were spot on, and the pizza was delicious. I can't wait to try more of these recipes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy the paperback, not the Kindle version May 2, 2013

The recipes are delicious, easy if you can follow directions. In the print book, some sections are in light green. In the Kindle version, these are very hard to read. The recipes come through clearly, though. But the other parts are interesting and I'd like them to be easier to read. The recipes are certainly worth trying for anyone wanting to feed their family more veggies. Lots of variety, lots of categories (pastas, salads, soups, eggs, stews, pizzas!), so something for everyone. A good way to ease into vegetarianism, or just eat more vegetables.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took me out of a veggie rut July 23, 2012

This book does a great job of breaking down all the different ways to cook vegetables. I usually roast all my veggies, but I am now loving cooking them stove top with different herbs and spices. A great way to add vegetables to your life in a delicious and satisfying way.
