5.0 out of 5 stars A View from a New Veggie, November 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Vegetarian Gourmet's Easy Low-Fat Favorites (Paperback)

I've recently become a vegetarian (within the last 2 months) and I cannot rave about this book enough! I've bought about 6-7 vegetarian cookbooks recently and this one takes the cake. It is definitely worth the investment. . . . and your carnivorous friends will like the recipes as well! Bobbie Hinman includes so many different types of recipes that you'll never get bored. The directions are very thorough and it's even notated on each recipe which type of vegetarian diet it falls under (i.e. V for vegan (no dairy), O for octo, etc.)

If you buy any vegetarian cookbook, let it be this one. It's great for a beginner like myself and the recipes are fantastic. . . . they really help bridge the gap for a new veggie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Used so much, I may have to buy a replacement soon!, July 30, 2003

This review is from: The Vegetarian Gourmet's Easy Low-Fat Favorites (Paperback)

I bought this book about a year ago after I decided I wanted to be a vegetarian, but had no clue how to prepare meals w/o meat. Hinman's book is definately full of great ideas. I have used so many of the recipes that the pages of the books are stained or torn from so much use.
The book is divided into several sections including: salads and dressings, grains, pastas, stove top dishes, casseroles, breads, fruits, vegetables, soups, desserts, and beverages. Definately full of recipes that have plenty of protein w/o tons of fat or calories. It is so easy to make some of these. Most recipes can be done in under 1/2 an hour. Even my texan, meat eating family has enjoyed the cooking from this recipe book. It is a MUST BUY!
