The next book in the series of Low-Fat & Fast cookbooks from the editors of Vegetarian Times magazine is Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Asian.

With Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Asian, Asian food lovers can have their favorite dishes without the fat. Low-Fat & Fast Asian will be the first cookbook of its kind -- a collection of all meatless Asian dishes. As with other books in this series, every dish will be easy enough to prepare in 20 to 30 minutes and will include a complete nutritional breakdown.

Accuracy In Advertising,
By disco75 "disco75" (State College, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Asian (Paperback)
The title of this book says it all-- the recipes are healthy and rapidly made. They sample a variety of Asian cuisines and, although not always culturally accurate, they do a good job of allowing for fresher, better seasoned, and healthier dinners than the majority of take-out places in the U.S. provide. A good version of Tom Yum soup is included, as are Spicy Potatoes and a tasty concoction called Shanghai Noodles. Some of the preparation times may be a bit optimistic, dependent on your chopping and mincing speeds, but the majority of dishes can be quickly assembled. They will be quickly eaten.

Sushi? Won-tons? Pad Thai? Meatless?!!,
By Joe Farrell (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Asian (Paperback)
Yes, believe it or not, you will find over a 150 staples of Asian cuisine in this easy-to-follow, simple cookbook--all vegetarian. Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Phillipino dishes are scattered throughout this cookbook with a helpful glossary of ingredients. While I have not personally tried every recipe, I am now a veteran of over a dozen sushi, won-ton, and eggroll excursions. If you are like me--constantly on-the go, a lover of variety, and careful about what you eat--you will love this simple cookbook.

Tried Two Recipes, Very Displeased,
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Asian (Paperback)
I gave this book 2 stars only because I have two recipes to go on and I should try a few more, but, that being said, I normally can finish a mediocre meal if it contains vegetables and benefits my health. I could not finish the two recipes I made and am very disappointed. If I do try another recipe in this book, I'll come back and review again, but as of right now, I would not recommend this book.
