The best vegetarian cookbook I own!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook (Hardcover)
I must own 30 vegetarian cookbooks and this is the best one of them all. I often reccomend this cookbook to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. I find that it is the best resource for everything from meal planning to fast meals to finding a recipe to use up some vegetable or another. I could not reccomend it any more highly. It has more than paid for itself.

Don't buy this book!,
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook (Hardcover)
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is just starting on a vegetarian way of life, and would not, in fact, recommend it to anyone unless you are an accomplished chef who can fix bad recipes. I have made a few recipes in each section - appetizers, soup, main course, etc. - and found the results to be complete disasters 80% of the time. Usually the food is underspiced, overcooked, or just a terrible mix of ingredients. The few recipes in this book that have worked, like the Couscous stuffed Squash, are marred by typos. A really awful cookbook considering its source and promise. While the introductions and other information are good, the recipes do not deliver.

skip this book,
By Kerry Griffin (Verona, Wi USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook (Hardcover)
I've just finished making the third recipe from this book, and once again it turned out yuck. Each has had the wrong amounts( the vegetable samosas had 3 times the ammount of filling for the wrappers), or neglects key instructions (such as don't let the pumpkin ravioli touch or they will stick together horribly). Once you spend alot of time, even if it magically turns out ok, the finished product is only so-so. Stick with the Moosewood books for beginner vegetarian cooking.
